Did you know? If you have a #Keystore Account on INLEO, you can add your account to HIVE Keychain by using the 12-Word Secret Key as the Account's Password!
I realized this by coincidence... The INLEO Team should've made that more clear.~ #feedback #crypto #dash #maya #rune

Nice! Have we confirmed this? @khaleelkazi did you know about this?
I, and @onealfa both tried it and it worked.
Very cool!
yes this is what was always meant by “your hive keys are derived using your seed phrase”
I guess it’s not super clear that the reverse engineered feature of that is that your seed phrase can be plugged in to hive apps that can extract your keys from the phrase (hive keychain being an example)
Not clear, but it is true, right?
iS there any benefits of adding my account to hive keychain ?? And is hive different from LEO ?.
Yes its different. InLEO is one of many apps built on top of the HIVE blockchain. When u created an InLEO account, you created a HIVE account by default. Having the account on keychain allows you to log in to any other HIVE apps if you need to.
Think of it as if HIVE being the internet, and INLEO is one website on the internet. Being on INLEO means you are on HIVE, but being on HIVE does not mean you are on INLEO.
Most of HIVE Applications require Posting/Active Keys to work, and the Keychain App helps you provide the keys to these applications securely. One big example is Hive-engine, the platform that you can trade LEO on with other HIVE Tokens: https://hive-engine.com/trade/LEO
@llamathreads, tag gosima and explain to him all about HIVE Keychain, HIVE Keys, and how Inleo is different from HIVE.
HIVE Keychain Benefits
@gosima, HIVE Keychain provides secure account management.
It's a browser extension, not related to Inleo's Keystore.
Inleo is a platform on the HIVE blockchain. HIVE Docs
leo is DAPP under Hive
I have noticed this on the day 1.
Makes a nice way to simplify things with keychain
Excuse me for having just above average cryptocurrency literacy.~
Kidding, aside... How did you figure it out? Had a similar experience from somewhere?
Can I do that on the mobile app?
Oh well there's only one way to find out
Where do you find this secret key?
Dope! I was trying to figure out how to move it to keychain
Glad I helped!!
yes the seed phrase = your master password
That’s what I always meant by “your hive keys are generated using the same phrase as your Keystore”
Perhaps I should make that more clear in the future / docs
Yup, now that you say it, it makes 100% sense, but not to someone who doesn't know that he has to connect the facts together.
Make it more clear in the future.
Anyway, it's a brilliant idea! You should feel proud!
Very true
maybe we can add a one-button click to import to keychain. I’ll reach out to @stoodkev
That would be really helpful... Maybe they can even add the ability to create Keystore accounts via their app too!
Yep this is intentional
