Someone please put a warning message box in front of the official online wallet, saying clearly that online wallets are inherently less safe than local wallets (i.e., running a local client on our own machine as basis for the wallet gui).
That is not totally true .. the webwallet runs you keys locally .. its not like blockchain.info
to be super secure you compile the web wallet on you own and run it locally .. it would still be a web wallet but very secure
Most users will be unable to distinguish between blockchain.info and local webwallet.
For them it is just a browser thingy.
"Web wallet" is used for both local application AND remote service.
You need to make sure exactly how it works in order to state that it is "safe".
A little (one time) warning/info message wouldn't hurt anyone. Users should made aware that "online banking" is not without risk. Surely, the Monero dudes (also being focused on security) would appreciate this move, too.
I haven't checked the online wallet in detail, but is there a two-factor authentication available, or multisig, or so? (Ok, maybe a stupid question because the answer is out there and obvious, and I simply have not seen it yet.) Thx
