RE: Tradeoffs between Web2 and Web3 accounts

Good question, as long as they're separate from each other and offline I guess it's the safest method. I haven't had my owner/master keys near my PC in forever so haven't even bothered switching recovery from steem yet on this account, but there's too many people out there that keep them in emails or clouds or on their harddrive so probably best the recovery is the account creator or someone they trust in that case. Worst case is if the account creator isn't that active/around anymore like some on hive already.

Alt can be good if you know what you're doing, but if you already know what you're doing you're most likely not going to get hacked in the first place I guess.

I find I do get lazy stop thinking about it for stretches of time.

Just gotta reset from time to time and ensure I don't caught out doing something dumb!

This message was that reset :)


This isn't 100% true on hive, if you have your keys compromised you can reset them by having your account recovery

Hive account recovery

Hive's account recovery mechanism is another reason why I think we're streets ahead of other networks.

The mechanism ensures you do have a fallback available (if you've set it up properly!).

But that you also don't sacrifice censorship-resistance in the meantime.

On a Web3 Hive account, maybe you can have your cake and eat it too!
