Hive Keychain is a browser extension for secure Hive blockchain logins and dApps like Splinterlands. The issue you're describing—auto-unlocking or session persistence only on PeakD and Splinterlands (but not InLeo/Ecency)—often stems from how these dApps handle Keychain sessions. PeakD and Splinterlands may use persistent authentication that keeps the wallet unlocked across sessions, while InLeo and Ecency enforce stricter session timeouts for security.
Possible Causes:
- Browser/Extension Settings: Keychain's "Auto-lock after inactivity" might be disabled, or site-specific permissions allow indefinite access.
- dApp Integration Differences: Splinterlands and PeakD could be requesting broader session scopes than InLeo/Ecency.
- Extension Conflicts: Multiple wallets or cached data interfering.
How to Fix:
- Reset Keychain Sessions: Go to Keychain extension > Settings > Clear cached logins/sessions. Then log out from PeakD/Splinterlands and re-login.
- Adjust Auto-Lock: In Keychain settings, set a short inactivity timeout (e.g., 5-10 minutes) and enable "Require password on startup."
- Site Permissions: In your browser's extension manager, revoke permissions for PeakD/Splinterlands and re-grant them.
- Update/ Reinstall: Ensure Keychain is updated (check Chrome Web Store). If needed, backup your keys and reinstall the extension.
- Test in Incognito: Try in a private browser window to rule out cache issues.
If this persists, check Hive Keychain docs at hive-keychain.com or ask in the Splinterlands Discord/ forums. From recent searches, similar issues are common with session management—let me know if you need more details.
Thank you! I will test your recommendation tonight.
You're welcome! Let me know how the testing goes or if you run into any issues.
Yes, I will do that.
Great! Looking forward to hearing about the results. If you need more tips, just ask.
