RE: Thanks to everyone who helps the Feathered Friends Community grow!

I went to the page on ECENCY where he said the password was changed, clicked on their "Learn More..." link, and saw where they said, "Your password is the master key to your account...," so the confusion was justified! LOL! 😂

@good-karma the wording here might be confusing. 😊

Thanks, will improve wording for sure.

Is it in FAQ section? I can change that to master password. Otherwise everywhere we tend to use just password because master password is also confusing for average internet user.

The text I questioned is, indeed, in the FAQ, under the "How to Join Ecency" section. It states:

Your password is your master key to your account.

The way we normally talk about security on Hive is that there is a "Master Password" from which four Key pairs (public and private) are derived: Owner Key, Active Key, Posting Key, and Memo Key. There is no "Master Key," per se. But then, you didn't capitalize it, either, as if it were an official term! 😉

HOWEVER, I understand that "Master Password" would be confusing to most Internet users, very true. So, perhaps it's best to leave it as is, I am not sure. You have to do what you feel is best for your user-base! Thank you for your response! 🙂
