Title: [ANN] Bitshares simple wallet template
Post by: svk on June 14, 2016, 12:59:38 pm

Using my graphenejs-lib I've made a new very basic wallet template. This wallet makes use of a new feature I've added to the graphenejs-lib: Account login. This is the same type of login used by Steemit, where a private key is generated on the fly from your account name and password. This means nothing is stored in your browser, and no private data is sent over the wire. This login feature could be reused by any number of wallets and you could then login everywhere using the account name and password.

Since your account name and password become your brain key in this case, it is important that you use a very long password, 16 characters at least. Remember: there's no centralised method of recovery so make sure you remember your password!

For more info, please see this post on steemit: https://steemit.com/bitshares/@svk/new-simple-wallet-template

I recommend a very complex password. We don't know what kind of key crackers may be designed in the future.

Is it already available or only for trial?

If it goes down how we can recover funds in browser wallet or software wallet?

It's available sure, but only on the testnet so far. I might put up a version on the BTS main network once I've refined the template some more.

As long as you remember your account name and password you can generate your private key completely independently of the wallet interface, using the cli wallet, node.js or Python.
