Good move. The rate of account theft on steemit is quite alarming and is a minus for potential investors and the likes

Upvoted and i had @tytran upvotre and i resteemed this is SO imp[ortant

we NEED time locked steem accounts so people can be FORCED to save their money!

FORCE people to hodl with this system!

Very good fantastico post friend, you give me a vote of support

Thanks for Steem by @fyrstikken

You cant have too much security,, there should simply at least be an option for the extra security.

steemit is growing even people are trying to have an account to join. as the number of users is certainly very useful what you have developed. comfort is needed here. maybe i will keep finding out about this. many people still lay in this, let alone in my area. I really need more instructions. I have also joined your channel on discord. thanks for information sir. i always like you ..

time to make it secure and easy as heaven ;)

yesterday I saw your post against golos. as a developer you always pay attention to small fish. i will study this further. I am very glad you are always thinking about the convenience for the users of this incredible platform. in my steempeak is still very layman. but I will keep looking for information. i like you sir

If the feature is ready why not roll it?

In general last half a year I see steemit.inc pursuing piece of buzztech called SMT having completely forgotten about all the rest. If you so much like big RnD projects then build a separate team to run them. Now the platform needs are lost, community socially deteriorates and steemit.inc just build another level on their ivory tower.

This aprroach is fundamentally wrong.

Thank you friend, for the opportunity to comment on the issue of long-promised, overdue Steemit functions.
>*"We are also feeling HF20 is overdue, still missing functions from HF19, 18 and even 17"*

I have [**written about a feature**](https://steemit.com/steemit/@creatr/i-m-still-jonesing-for-that-edit-button-please) that was long ago promised to be in HF17, that is the ability for content creators to edit any of their older posts, without limit.

Instead of giving us that, our ability to edit was reduced from 30 days to only 7 days... :(

I have written about this [**again**](https://steemit.com/chainbb/@creatr/seeking-edibility-beyond-seven-days), and [**again**](https://steemit.com/steem/@creatr/seven-compelling-reasons-to-enable-perpetual-edit-for-content-creators), and [**again**](https://steemit.com/steemit/@creatr/can-anybody-out-there-please-help-me-desperately-seeking-editability)...

I'm still waiting!

Good luck, @fyrstikken, in getting your Timelock Function implemented... :(

😄😇😄

I agree. For instance, the apps have a bit too much permissions even with the posting key. There is a need for a more layered security model and a password could be a start!

This is a great idea @fystikken I am very interested to see this happen.

This is such a great idea.

I really like your posts @fyrstikken.
I hope you can also post my posts.
I need your vote and support

That would be great. Maybe steemit should have "experimental mode" with many optional function that you could turn on/off.

TimeLock coupled with our [Steemify](https://steemit.com/steemdev/@blockbrothers/steemify-is-live-get-it-in-the-app-store-now-for-free) app to receive an instant notification of a powerdown on your account would be supersecure .. 

I for one think this is a very good idea ... 2FA is everywhere and with holdings as large as yours (but as low as mine as well with current steemprice) would benefit greatly from the extra security

Perhaps the TimeLock could be a length of time chosen by the user itself even. Allowing for some flexibility.

There is no value of time near Allah.

Hi, @fyrstikken ... How are you.
Personally I would like to thank the security team who has tried to strengthen the defense in the central platform of defense and security of steemit, and also to Mr. @ fyrstikken who has raised this security article as important information to all of us.

Personal assets in the form of steam and steam dollars (sbd) is something that is very important to get extra protection because this property is the result of a business that has been done for months. Of course we can imagine how disappointed if our swallow looks zero, but that's not the content.

Security development, of course, is based on a convenience perspective. And every security development is always through a very mature review process that gave birth to modern civil defense system theories. The development of a defense system should be structured, systematic and priodic. The objective is to know the breakthrough theory (because they are doing the same), so they must start with new observations, and so on.

In my opinion, the standards of defense system development should include the integrity, base system, downstream and third parties such as telecommunication companies (they also have their own security systems). Fundamentally, 90% of system security occurs between the central security system and the account owner, I would say that the security system must be smart in deciding an action (the action must be done), if something happens to an account then the system center has a definite decision. So the center of the security system is not just as a comparator of authentic data between data stored in the central database with the data that has been delegated to the account owner, then a decision occurs. This means that the defense system is not limited to the understanding of the doorstop. You can see the fool of a bank defense system to this day, if there is a robbery then emergency signaling lights start up at the police station and the robbers know that. And third parties, they are used as an authentication bridge based on their own defense principles. Why 10%, because they are outside of the main defense system platform, and 10% of it anything can happen.

What I have described above is an intelligent artificial intelligence-based integral system. Do not preoccupy account owners who have low knowledge of technology interactions and are forced to follow your guidelines in high emotional stress because they are in big trouble. That is, the center of the defense system must be able to break any potential crime before the crime occurs (sorry I'm just talking philosophy here, not technical, that's your business). An interesting case and in my opinion very small, too small for a platform as big as blockchain. One day my friend (A) asked for help from another friend (B) to sell his steam. Si B approves the request, and the A knows what to do next. Then A does a 370 steem transfer to account B in bittrex, what's wrong ...? A does a 370 steem transfer using sbd memo. A very panicked because of the incident, the whole effort taken but in vain, steem does not come back again. The question is simple, is the system there sleeping or blind? ... or is it created?

So, Intelligence, maturity, wisdom, fast and precise, is the deepest instrument of a powerful modern defense system. And one more important point, the center of the defense system must be able to conduct feedback to criminals through direct information to the criminal police of Syber to catch the culprit.

If it comes with a toggle for those not so worried, I'm in.

Timelock makes sense. Steemit.Inc and witnesses where talking about it on @aggroed's Steem growth forum on @msp-waves Radio in December.

I hold a tiny fraction of what some of you cats hold and I would feel much better about having more security.  A time lock 2FA is a brilliant idea.  Coinbase as much as I dislike them have a 2FA SMS authenticator that you can elect to apply every time or 1 log in is good for 30 days.  

No such thing as too much security.  Its funny I didn't give much serious thought my PC security until I started HODLing cryptos.  

Now guarding my coins like.....

As there any 2fa security  for steemit.. Every cryptocurrency side have these features 
but i think in steemit this security is absent... @fyrstikken

Coinbase I think is doing something like that and a second authorizer person for the nuclear button lol
I always log in with my posting key for withdrawal you need to enter your master key in steemit that’s another good security.

Isn't this what the savings wallet is suppose to do? If not, how is it different?

this seems to me a very good discourse. I am very happy to hear this. I have never felt HF20. I hear it is very beneficial to the users. thanks for information sir. i like you

An extra password for wallet related services will definitely be important. It will make one feel safe even when sleeping.

That would be great!
I hate having to change keys every time I wanna transfer,ect....
lic.,regs., and ins. please...lol..

With the increasing value of our cryptocurrencies, I think it is very important to have more security of our securities deposited in our accounts, never is an extra password, we know that hakers are at the forefront and expectations to operate.
excellent initiative dear friend, many successes in Timelock implementation
I wish you a great day dear friend @fyrstikken

I dont understand this... my brain is too flat... but I beg for a vote on my latest song : https://steemit.com/openmic/@lasseehlers/30m5crgz

Thanks buddy for this post.  Cool function you are talking about.

steemit is developing even individuals are attempting to have a record to join. as the quantity of clients is positively extremely helpful what you have created. comfort is required here. possibly I will continue getting some answers concerning this. numerous individuals still lay in this, let alone in my general vicinity. I truly require more directions. I have likewise joined your channel on disunity. a debt of gratitude is in order for data sir.

I am all for an added layer of security. For now I use Lastpass chrome extension with all my things including steemit.
Steemit however are for many a substantial part of their income or even net worth. Many are travellers or digital nomads and bring their laptops everywhere. Hopefully no one will fall victim of an attack. 

Will follow along as this area with security is very interresting.

Thanks a lot for sharing your valuable post....
Carry on next 
Best of luck..
I will still wait for your next post....

This is a good idea

thank you, keep on steemit

Nice to see you again, @fyrstikken . 

You've certainly touched on an unanticipated problem. Now that Steem's market cap is ~$1.5 billion, a whale-sized account represents a *lot* of money. I'm only a small orca, but the market value of my account is five times the market value of a 1 kilogram gold bar.

[Fun Fact: While I was verifying the above, I found out that APMEX now accepts Bitcoin...] 

That's a wee bit scary when ya think about it. If I owned the equivalent in gold, I'd prolly store it in a safety deposit box or vault.

Even if a randomly-generated password is strong, it still represents a point of vulnerability. Like a key to a safety-deposit box, passwords can be stolen. Your suggestion certainly has merit.

This is very *important *in deed and actually not that difficult to implement. 
How can Steem OR SMT's be expected to get HUGE without this or a better upgrade?
You see very **clearly** these things and it is nice how simple and direct you put it.*** DUH!***
