I don't see a reason it would need a password. That is like putting your safe in a safe.

"putting your safe in a safe" lol sounds funny. This is what I am getting at also, the password field would REALLY only be beneficial if a ton of people got your key somehow, you could use your e-mail to reset the password and then enter the key and password on Blockland and BAM everyone else is gone. Not sure if it works like that though.

Yeah I get what you are saying, but in what instance would your key ever be released?
Passwords are easier to guess or steal. What you are doing is adding a useless layer of security that should never be needed in the first place, which actually just makes it easier to lose your key. All someone needs to do is find out your password and you could potentially get locked out. Chances are if you manage to lose your key, no password will help you lolol.

I think you got a bit mixed up, you need Key AND password. The benefit to this has been listed, the con to this is that you need to remember your key AND password. If you do get locked out you have the email as I have stated before. Its kinda balanced how this could be useful but hurtful. I think what we have now is fine but who knows.
