Hive effectively closed my account, by refusing my password for "security" reasons.

Two months ago, hive began refusing my password for my own 'good'! Since I have a life, and it is BUSY right now, I Decided to use my linked palnet account, until I could address this new "for my own good" requirement!

It was interesting that the older sign in method was also not functional as the passwords they provided for lower level sign in were refused as incorrect; EVEN THOUGH THEY PROVIDED THEM DIRECTLY

So, today I found time to follow their 'enhanced' sign in process, so I can sign in with a significantly reduced password; and find out that all my palnet posts have not uploaded to hive automatically. My latest post was two months old, instead of yesterday!

Hive needs to stop playing these kind of games, all they have done here is decrease security; and piss me off in the process!

I understand that they are trying to distance themselves from steemit, but they need to focus on making things easier to use for the blogger! They have always been the strength of any platform, and not cute software changes....

I almost cashed in the crypto, and closed this account...but I have too many friends that I trust and respect here! It took me two months to cool off, but I'm posting again.
