It is brutally cold here and more snow is on the way tonight. The good part is that we are halfway through winter and spring comes next!

j have one question. i changed my password as recommended. does that mean i have changed the master key to my account?? thanks

I'm not sure. I have keys, but then the only password I use is for hivesigner and keychain.
It appears that peakd might be calling your master key a password. I can see why you would be confused. I am too.

If it is the "Master Password" that was changed, PEAKD is using the correct term. There is no "Master Key," as there is no Public/Private Pair for it. It's just a teeny little technical difference between the two (password -vs- key).

Thanks for that clarification. I knew I could count on you to explain it to me. I have always been confused by keys and it was only after we moved to Hive and I changed my keys using Ecency that it became clear to me that owner and master were two different things. But even then I have been thinking of it as my master key! Thanks for this explanation!

A long time ago on Steem, I was also confused by the Master Password and Owner Key! LOL! 😁

I went to the page on ECENCY where he said the password was changed, clicked on their "Learn More..." link, and saw where they said, "Your password is the master key to your account...," so the confusion was justified! LOL! 😂

Is it in FAQ section? I can change that to master password. Otherwise everywhere we tend to use just password because master password is also confusing for average internet user.

The text I questioned is, indeed, in the FAQ, under the "How to Join Ecency" section. It states:

Your password is your master key to your account.

The way we normally talk about security on Hive is that there is a "Master Password" from which four Key pairs (public and private) are derived: Owner Key, Active Key, Posting Key, and Memo Key. There is no "Master Key," per se. But then, you didn't capitalize it, either, as if it were an official term! 😉

HOWEVER, I understand that "Master Password" would be confusing to most Internet users, very true. So, perhaps it's best to leave it as is, I am not sure. You have to do what you feel is best for your user-base! Thank you for your response! 🙂

@eolianpariah & @melinda010100 ~ On the Hive blockchain (and on Steem, previously) all users are given a MASTER PASSWORD from which the Keys are derived. The MASTER PASSWORD is complex, like a Key, but is different as it has no "Public -vs- Private" pairing as the Keys do. The four keys that are derived from the MASTER PASSWORD are the OWNER KEY, the ACTIVE KEY, the POSTING KEY, and the MEMO KEY.

If you changed your MASTER PASSWORD, then yes, your KEYS changed, too, and you should reveal them and write them in a secure location! Not doing this might cause you to lose access to your account! You should NOT be using your MASTER PASSWORD for everyday logins; use your Posting Key for that! And only enter your Active Key, when prompted, for financial transactions!

Who suggested you change this, and where did you go to make the change? The answer to that last question is important for knowing the current state of your account!

I believe if you receive a new account it comes with keys that have been assigned to the person who gave you the account. I have 80 accounts that I can give to new users, but I would tell them to change their keys, otherwise I would have seen what their keys are. I would think the same would hold true with Ecency or OCD or whoever is gifting you an account?

Yes, very possibly so! Most of the time, I use a service that doesn't allow me to see the keys, but they're given directly to the person I am on-boarding. A couple of times, I was given the keys, as well, though, same as you! 🙂

Changing the keys AND password 😊 is a great security precaution. I am glad that @eolianpariah did that. Especially as I see how quickly his account is growing!

@eolianpariah should double-check that he has all of his keys copied and secured, preferably on a thumb-drive or in a Password Manager app. He can verify his keys on HIVE.BLOG with the following steps shown:

OR, using PEAKD intead:

thanks a lot @the kitty girl. i will check that out. i was recommended at the beginning to change my password by the standard info given when i started ecency. i changed the password on my page with blog, communities, and wallet. under settings where i made my profile there is a change password button and on that button is an image of a key. the password was generated automatically, not something i made up.

In another comment on this post, I shared screenshots from both HIVE.BLOG and PEAKD (two other ways of viewing the Hive blockchain besides via ECENCY). Both of those sites will allow you to see all of your Keys (Owner, Active, Posting, and Memo). I would advise doing that and save them to a thumb-drive or a Password Manager app. Just having your Master Password is NOT enough, as you might need one of those other keys in the future! Better to be safe now than sorry later! 🙂

@good-karma I believe this is where the confusing wording was at.

just to finish this matter from my side, i followed the recommendations of @thekittygirl the pages she screenshot were different from the ones available from my page but after some resolute searching i came to a page that had all the info she described. i have now safely stored all 4 keys, owner, active, posting and memo. as of now the memo key is not is use for us all. i would mention that when i changed my password my hivesigner password stopped working so i had to import the account and make a new password. so now everything seems to be fine and i am much more informed.
on another matter i powered up the few hive i had yesterday just hours before it shot up 50%. now my account is very modest so it didn't amount to much in dollars but next time i will check on hivestats to help with timing.

thanks to you. i had no idea there were 4 different keys. i am 100% sure they were never shown to me since i joined ecency in december 2020. i would guess there are many users unaware of them.

There is a Frequently-Asked Questions (FAQ) on the default front-end/interface (HIVE.BLOG) to the Hive blockchain that all users should read when they join. In fact, once upon a time, it was linked in big, bold letters on the screen right after someone signed-up and was hard to miss! Now, with all the other front-ends available (ECENCY, PEAKD, DAPPLR, LEOFINANCE, TRAVELFEED, and several others), I don't see it linked as often. But, it explains all the keys and many other things that are helpful to know! I would love to see all front-ends directing people to read that page! 👉 https://hive.blog/faq.html

It's good a little extra action has come through my post...I'll keep throwing some support and posting there myself when I've got a suitable photo. I've been doing a few upvotes in there also. 😊

Your comments and encouragement are great to see too! As the community grows I am struggling to keep up with comments and often end up making comments that are much too brief. Ecency has been spreading some votes around here when they have extra voting power and that helps, but often these posts are under rewarded.
