RE: Hive has the BEST Log In and Authentication System on the Internet

Absolutely not: Hive Keychain stores your keys encrypted in the encrypted storage of your device, they can only be unlocked with your pin and/or biometrics. @arcange's HAS system and his new Hive Authenticator app (which can be used as an alternative key store to Hive Keychain) also never takes your keys off your own device.

This is the fundamental beauty of Hive: you never have to entrust your keys to a machine outside of your direct physical control if you don't want to (and you shouldn't).

My app (and most others on Hive) pass a message to Hive Keychain, you click "sign" and then the message comes back and my app checks that the signature could only have come from someone who knows your key. I never see the key.
