I saw that yesterday as well. I was scared there for a second. Then I realized it was popping up as a result of my password change. What made it a little more confusing to me was that it popped up A WHILE after I changed my password.

@originate okay, this looks pretty cool, I hope this helps other users

This is an excellent point to bring up. Great post!

Absolutely. The phrasing "your password lost ownership" is a touch vague.

This really helped me, thanks @originate

To clarify a bit for those that are new to STEEM I will add this detail.
When STEEM pays out 1 $ worth of rewards (whether from posting, commenting or upvoting) it simply creates the new units "out of thin air". This has the effect of diluting everyone's STEEM holdings since the supply has increased but your personal wallet's balance has not.
The way to protect yourself from this dilution is to Power Up.
What does this do you might be axkin '?
Well, for every 1 $ worth of STEEM created to pay for content & curation there are 9 $ worth of STEEM created to send to those that have powered up.

So you should only hold STEEM if you are planning on selling it, or sending it to someone. Do not hold it for a long time since it is being diluted little by little by everyday's payouts.
Power it up and you will lock in your value.

Hope this helps complement the main post!

There is good news, with all the security updates it is hard to imagine that this will come up often and be legit.

I'm on the dev team, so I will update the message though and do my best to get everyone to keep it in the new security model support it.  I believe this is a valuable addition to our security model..

Completely agree, this UX tweak would be helpful prevent some users from being startled!

On a semi-related note,  while we are talking about the intersection of UX and security, I wrote a walkthrough targeting any user that wants to set up a password manager with 2FA. Check it out here:

Agreed. I individually changed each of my passwords after the hack was over, and then a few days later this warning popped up and made me question if I should change them again.
