How to navigate through the Hive security keys on the hive Blockchain.

Actually am used to the #peakd settings, that's what I use in my day to day hive activities, so that's what I will be making use of, in showing the process of the hive key 🗝️.

Stage 1.

On your profile page, navigate to the icon with the three dots close to settings, then click on those dots.

Here are the importance/functions of the Hive security keys on the hive Blockchain.

As we all know that security is very important, so we can be safe in what ever we do on the hive blockchain, most especially when it comes to Money. I will be talking about the different keys and the functions, which are Owner key, Active key, Posting key, Memo key and Master key. This to make sure the hive blockchain is safe for users.

  1. Owner Key
    This owner key is carry out transactions authorization on the hive blockchain. And it is also used for example, changing of keys, revoking vote, and sending token.

  2. Active Key
    This Active key is used to authorize login to Hive accounts and also to recover hive accounts on the Blockchain.

  3. Posting Key
    This Posting key is used for posting, voting, and commenting. posting key is for every social media activity on the hive blockchain

  4. Memo Key
    This Memo key is used for the purposes of description of payments. It is used in sending encrypted memo.

  5. Master key
    Master key as the name implies, it is used to recover hive account, login, transactions, and postings.

How to Secure your Hive Keys

I recommend cloud saving such as google drive. This will enable you alone have access to it.
So it doesn't go to a wrong person.

Avoid using your Keys on anyhow links on the website. Some website automatically saves your keys when you use your key on them.

And also make sure you don't giving your key to anyone, this keys are private keys just for you and your alone.

I'm trying to create a hive community, it requires my active key, when I click reveal it redirects me to login, after I login it just does the same thing every time. I login, I click reveal, it asks for the login again, and I'm spinning in the same circle.

Can anybody explain what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you

This is really educative, have been able to get and understand Many things here brother

Hello there @lawrence27 unfortunately we are no longer continuing the stage 02 tasks as all of our focus has been shifted to the Newbies Initiative.
