<p><br></p>

<p><em>You find tons of tutorials on Youtube or google but im glad to help anyone</em></p>

My concern is that the average social media user has no interest in taking time to secure their accounts if it takes even a little effort to learn and I'd include two-factor in this as well. If it's not easy or convenient they won't use it.

Thanks for spreading awareness about public/private key encryption. Users need to skill up and figure this stuff out!

Nice backup tutorial @admiral. I'd suggest using 4096 size keys considering, as you said, it will be on the blockchain <b>forever</b>. Better to future proof it IMO!

You might be interested in my recent write-up on setting up LastPass + Duo 2FA in order to add an additional layer of hardening to the security of your account password. Check it out here:

admiral, this post deserve more attention for sure, still, it's a good way but what if they find your gpg key somewhere if you don't pay attention to save it somewhere good? isn't better to also create a VeraCrypt file? that should work aswell.

thanks; never tried veracrypt, point of this tutorial is that when you post your private message on steemit you can always copy it and decrypt it, noone else can use this message but you, so you actually use steemit to store information
