@friendly-fenix I'm answering you as a separate comment so I can pin it to the top. I shall write an entire blog dedicated to why SteemConnect is a safe choice and how you can use it to protect your steemit password.
SteemConnect is owned by Steemit inc and created by Busy.org,
So if you trust putting your password into steemit you can trust putting it into steemconnect. ;) Both @ArtTurtle and SteemAX use SteemConnect to ensure your password is never stored or even seen. Instead my web apps get a temporary token that grants very limited usage. You can always login to SteemConnect and revoke permission for a web app to use your tokens. This is much better than giving up your password ;) Hope that answers your questions.
