Sorry to hear this. You have to be so careful and not everyone will know the risks. I actually only recently updated my Hive keys. Having them different to St++m gives some extra security. My HIVE is all powered up, so they could not get it immediately anyway.
!BEER
Is updating your keys simple?
What way did you do it?
I’m oblivious to this stuff and could do with keeping on top of my security.
I’d love to know how f you wouldn’t mind sharing?
That wasnt that difficult actually. When you are in hive.blog you go to your wallet and there you see a thingy with password change which requires you master password.
In peakd in wallet there is a little tab next to your avatar when you are in wallet where you can change them.
With both you get new active and new posting keys. 2 minutes in and out. And dont forget to save you new keys..
It worth doing I can tell you @ashtv !
Thanks for the advice!
Does it ‘give you’ new keys automatically and randomly? Or do you literally choose something?
Is it letters and numbers?
Sorry for my ignorance 😆
Just go to your wallet and you'll see the tools there for generating a new key.
Thanks!
In peakd from the Actions menu you get to Keys & Permissions then Change Password. Need your owner key to authorise this. It's fairly simple really.
Perfect - glad I asked!
Having the keys different was the first thing I should have done. And luckily my powered up HP is still there @steevc
