it could be a value added service provided by SERVICE PROVIDERS

Guys? R u kidding???

that doesn't make any sense. there is no "nxt company" to receive the text message.

to tie the phone number to the account would be risky.....but you could easily create X amount of anonymous e-mail addresses.

What's going on with the Blockchain Explorer? It's been down longer than 24h

For the record, I hereby vote for implementing an optional 2 factor authorization scheme via cellphone SMS as soon as possible.  All in favor, say aye?

Nxt is decentralized, u can ask the password million times but it won't make ur account more secure if u use a weak master password.

I see a lot of use for one special NXT donation fund in the future - Paranoia Therapy Fund. I am serious.

Oops, wrong key on edit.

It's weird how even potential wealth can fry the brain
I have the same issue.

It's a nightmare I have often.  

I am terrified of keystroke loggers.  The more widespread NXT becomes, the more keystroke loggers are going to be deployed to steal it.  That's a fact.

I am only running my main NXT account on an old XP laptop that I sanitized by doing a zero bit overwrite of the hard drive and reinstalling the OS from a Dell reinstall disk followed by the minimal add-ons like Java etc being brought over on a CD instead of via online downloads.   This laptop is now used for NXT and that's it.  I'm working on creating a second identical sanitized laptop as a backup.  I have a hidden and uncommented local handwritten copy of my random password generated offline on the laptop using Awesome Password Generator 1.4 from Google (you know, the guys that are secretly partnered with the NSA) and another handwritten copy in my bank vault safe deposit box.  

I still worry.

I understand that the user space is unimaginably huge at something like (I think I remember seeing) 10^70 - but still.  One lucky hit by somebody else miskeying their own password under the current scheme, and it's all over for you.  That's a fact, too, mitigated only by just how much luck the thief would need to have.  I've got a degree in math and I understand probability and it still doesn't do much to calm the reptilian fear in my brain.

Is there a separate white paper PDF someplace that goes over in detail from scratch / first principles the entire NXT security scheme and just the security scheme?  If not, there needs to be.  We are going to have to point specifically to that information over and over and over as more and more people come to risk larger and larger sums that the security scheme is adequate - particularly when single colored coins are made that could be worth millions of regular NXT.

So, bottom line, I think we need a security whitepaper PDF and a link to it.

Can we add a second password inside NXT?

An account should be able to submit a transaction to store / update a secondary password - Fee 1 NXT
If this transaction exists - the nodes don't confirm the transaction unless a node logged with the sending account has re-authenticated the transaction with this secondary password.

Just a password to send....The function can be optional.

1 password is enough, just make it stronger.

if it's a thief, then there are more thefts:

Adding a secondary password?

How do you think this Alias company thing could work?

Wesley, Ferment and Landomata, I want to put my voice in as an investor. I think you guys are doing great stuff.

Tell me WHO will send this email.



The same issue as with email confirmation - it's impossible.

We'll clarify the concept over the coming weeks...also Nxt Asset Exchange has to be launch first....I'm hoping before end of January.....will keep you updated.


EDIT:
Dear James

Do you have any suggestions regarding this Alias Initiative?
