If you're considering changing your Btalk password be warned that everytime you do this BPIP can see that and show the whole world the exact date and time you changed your password lol. Just FYI. I think a lot of people probably are not aware of this fact so that is also the main reason why I am bringing that up.

Yes, I can see on that website that I have "woken up" a number of times which is more that I lurk and only come on from time to time to make a comment or ask a question, so no big deal - there will probably be more slumbers from time to time.

I've also been reading about staking an address, but opinions are mixed and it looks to be very inconclusive given the anecdotal evidence that staked addresses are sold with accounts.  Some users suspect an account has changed hands when nothing more than a password has been changed.  If there was a way to show that my account had 2FA enabled, then that would go a long way to silencing any doubters that all I'm intending to do is change my password to beef-up my security at the end of the year.

Can I ask those who have said they don't even write their passwords down on a scrap of paper they keep safely at home why they are relying on just their memories for a jumble of a dozen characters?
