Even though d.tube is a safe domain, it's still a hurdle to have to copy paste your posting key in every steem web-app to login. SteemConnect was there, but it had security and user experience flaws from the start.
Keychain improves the STEEM login experience in the same way metamask does for the Ethereum blockchain. It stores your keys safely in a browser extension and provides simplistic methods for UI developers to send live transactions. Keychain is a conjoint effort by many high-profile Steemians/witnesses: @aggroed, @stoodkev, @yabapmatt and @eonwarped. It is available for most mainstream browsers (chrome, firefox, brave, opera) and many of the top STEEM apps are already using Keychain, such as SteemMonsters, SteemPeak, or DrugWars, and now DTube!
If Keychain is installed on your browser, DTube's login page will now show it as the default login method.
You will still need to enter your username you want to log in with, then keychain will open a popup asking for you to confirm the login.
Feel free to tick the 'do not prompt me again' to avoid this extra confirmation for the d.tube domain in the future.
Once this is done, the experience will be the same as normal, without ever having to copy paste your posting key again.
This feature was added to DTube's source code by @vaultec, so he will receive 100% of the rewards of this post. The feature was added yesterday on the website already, so I bet a few people already tried it, please give us some feedback in the comments. Also, do you think should we deprecate SteemConnect now?

Awesome, do you have plans on implementing other things @vaultec is working on in the future as well? :)
Definitely, lots of changes are planned. Will be merged into the main source branch once finalized.

Good job friend @vaultec , you deserve it ;)
Reading this is music to my eyes. :)
Yeah, he calls it by another name, but that's what I had in mind yes. :)
Steemconnect should definitely be deprecated. Especially with things such as sc3 (fees), unknown bugs/sessions expiring.
Posted using Partiko Android
Yeah you're right. But it still causes issues with that thus should be deprecated. Considering fees and being a centralized entity.
For usage in dtube. Other apps have that choice.

Nice! Did something change in Keychain? I remember it was announced and I installed it in browser couple of months back..then there were no news at all...and now suddenly, dtube and also steempeak implenmented it within one month I feel...anyway, awesome news! it's suuupereasy to use :)
That is really nice and i have heard of keychain a lot more time and i think now I really need look upon it...so that i can access everything easily without even sacrificing my accounts safety.

Things are really getting better and easier! Glad that @dtube is so dynamic in their function.

I think you should continue offering SteemConnect @dtube. I still use SteemConnect and I think many others do too. Some people aren't comfortable with browser extensions for things like keys.
P.S. I tried to upload a video about an hour ago and it worked, but the 720p Hash didn't load properly and is just blank. Can you give me any advice? @dtube @vaultec @graylan
I used Handbrake and used the correct settings with 720p and I have an excellent Internet connection with a 40 Mbps + upload speed.
Please let me know if anything can be done to ensure it won't happen again. I tried to upload it once before and all the Hashes failed to load (just blank hashes). This was the second time and the 720p failed to load this time so I just submitted it anways. It was my wife's video on her @emaferice acccount.
Wow this is fantastic you guys really working hard .
Steemit Inc seriously needs to hurry up already and adopt Steem Keychain as an officially supported means of interacting with the Steem blockchain. Paging @ned to make that happen. As a developer myself who is privacy-focused, I believe it is crucial that keys are not typed or copied and pasted, nor stored anywhere other than the user's machine or browser.
STINC needs to throw some funds or development resources at making it even better. I refuse to use SteemConnect anymore if I can avoid it and use Keychain.
Thanks for this wonderful update and improvement on @dtube login. I wil definitely try it soon and give @dtube the feedback..
Special thanks to the steem witness @aggroed @stoodkev @yabapmatt @eonwraped
Also @vaultec. Job weldone 👍👍👍👍
It is always time to refuse SteemConnect. It is necessary to let the new version work. Thanks for the information
Nice update, already logged in dtube with keychain.
Love the new developments

Does this password program allow my private keys to be taken remotely by hackers (or anyone who physically accesses my hard drive)?
It has password protection/encryption.
Posted using Partiko Android
But somebody with my hard drive would have access to my DTube and Steemit accounts, if I use Keychain to save my keys, right?
This is a convenience boost coming at the expense of safety, right?
It's encrypted so even if they did have access to your hard drive it would be useless without a password.

That's fascinating. How long will videos survive now?
Posted using Partiko Android
Still just 2 or 3 weeks, long enough for your viewers to see them, but not long enough to be a resource on the internet, a source of knowledge, or proof you existed.
Exactly the reason why dTube is pretty much useless for anyone wanting to create a library of content here. Worthless videos of "in the moment" content won't make this a good option for millions trying to get out of the corporate censorship morass.
You can host the video files yourself via certain types of software. Or use a service that hosts for you such as @onelovedtube. Dtube cannot support the masses of videos however I am working to solve this problem in the future.

I hear ya. I just don't see an upside to paying out more than I take in from my efforts here.
I'll continue my Fascistbook video uploads and turning the pennies generated here to tangible silver...

Sigan fuertes, apoyo total a Dtube.
Every day better news. That’s so great to see that the entire @dtube team is working hard in the background. And even better you keep the community informed and updated. Thanks to everyone from the team. Looking forward to more

Steemconnect is a drag. Thank you.
thats cool news B) keychain is so easy to use
There is no app of steem keychain in play store?
No, it's a browser extension, not a mobile app. So you need to search for it in the google chrome or firefox extensions depending on which one you use.
I did not find the play store, so I asked. Tomorrow I will try to use crome steam keychain. Thanks for your information

Please do NOT deprecate SteemConnect!
I've always used SteemConnect for Login.
What if my device and/or webbrowser doesn't support the Keychain extension?
Also, what about the users who don't want or aren't allowed to install Keychain (e.g. because they're using someone else's computer)?
Do these people have to use the website's own login feature, which is likely to be less secure than SteemConnect?
good job friends
great post
Great work.Good news for dtubers. Is it's security is stronger than steemconnect?
It works differently, here you keep control of your own keys inside a browser extension, but yes.

Hey, I am trying to use this feature but it isnt working. I have keychain installed on my chrome browser but when I try to login, I dont get that option to login with keychain. I can only login by copying my posting key or via steemconnect.
Any ideas?

How frustrating it is, uploaded video approx 5 to 6 times and still it says please upload video before submitting.
Is this a bug?
Hello Dtube, I was wondering how to get a curated upvote from @dtube ? Not asking now for one, but I made my first video today and have no clue how it works. Thanks for any help!!!
