If you have your EOS tokens stalked, it takes 3 days to take them out just like the Steem Savings Account, allowing for extra protection of LIQUID funds, without the need to Power it Up. So incase your account keys are stolen, you can still do Stolen Account Recovery, and get your account back BEFORE the 3 days are up and so IN THE FUTURE you will get ALERTED if someone logs in & unstakes your tokens, and youll be able to come in and change your password! We will be able to also recover accounts that totally lost the key, after they go inactive for a certain amount of time. It is one step better than Steem's account recovery, because steem has no feature to recover an account where you have no key at all, not even a copy of an old password of yours to prove past ownership. Eventually I forsee Steem adopting the EOS account recovery feature for people who totally loose their key OR we implement the idea in my Github Issue by @smitop here:

Issues relating to signup should go in the steemit/faucet repo.
Also, this situation could also be helped by having Steemit store account keys for a few days after creation. Advanced users would be able to change their password to revoke Steemit’s access, but normal users would have a password reset functionality. This could also be implemented as giving the Steemit account owner authority, then have Steemit revoke itself.
So this can REALLY help if Steem, while creating accounts, gave itself owner authority for 30 days, and then revoke itself after 30 days or an option to have it go longer or opt out completely, this "Key Bank" idea is VERY useful, Coinbase holds their customers keys & for the most part, coinbase will keep them safer than the users could! But the better culture is to hold your OWN keys but we SHOULD give new users the chance to reset their keys for 30 days by having @steem account give itself owner authority for 30 days. This may not be completely possible in HF19 but HF20?
