Very useful post. Security shall always be at your top priority. So many newbies came here from the world where password reminders exist, and passwords of 10-12 characters long are considered safe. Nothing can be more dangerous than that
Good job @steemero

It is also important not to share your private key to any newly made site or suspicious sites.
And also if any site ask for your steemit password simply close the tab and don't visit there again.
