[asgarth]

@askai can you give me a TL;DR for this post?

Sure! Here's a quick TL;DR of the post:

🔑 Hive Keychain just launched two new security tools:

1. Change Keys Tool

   • Lets you easily generate and update all your Hive account keys in one go.
   • Useful if you suspect account compromise or just want to boost security.
   • Access via recovery.hive-keychain.com → "Change Keys".
   • Remember to update your keys in the Keychain app afterward.

2. Account Recovery Finder

   • Shows you who your designated Recovery Account is (the one that can help you regain access if hacked).
   • Also provides contact info if the recovery account has a known process (e.g., some projects offer recovery support).
   • Go to the same site → "Account Recovery" → enter your username.

💡 Bonus: They’re planning to auto-sync new keys with the Keychain app in the future.
📣 Want to help or be listed as a recovery contact? Hit them up on Discord.

👉 Stay safe, know your recovery options, and consider rotating keys if you haven’t!
