A random private key is MUCH more secure than any string that is generated by any human!

The actual essence of these accounts is stored on your computer, so you have to move it if you want the account moved. No one besides you has your account, so you can't get it back from them if you lose it. When I mean "like" I dont mean use it. I mean instead of just 'Password' haveLoginPasswordRetrieve AccountIn the bitsharesx platform. They could do that and have the entire account deterministically generated from the name and password, but people would undoubtedly pick insecure passwords and get their funds stolen. As a default, the way it is now is much safer for users who may not understand all the risks.
