This post focuses on how we recommend protecting your Hive account, especially when it comes to managing your Hive account password.
Please note that to keep your account safe and secure, we recommend the following:
Download the PDF file containing your Hive account key.
Store the key file both offline and online. For offline storage, store it in an important document, and for online storage, store it in a Drive account or other secure online storage.
Never give or show the key to anyone except those you truly trust.
When using the Hive platform, never click on suspicious links or any other links you don't know about.
Never enter or share your password on third-party platforms, other than those registered in the Hive ecosystem.
Never enter your Master Key into third-party platforms in the Hive ecosystem.
Only use the Posting Key to log in, post, comment, upvote, downvote, and reply.
Only use the Active Key to make transactions/transfer funds from your Hive wallet account.
To keep your account and funds protected, only conduct transfers/transactions through the main Hive wallet platform.
If you go to your Hive Wallet page, the page will display the token and currency values. These currency tokens consist of HIVE, HIVE Power, and HIVE Dollar. This section also includes a description of each currency token.
There is also a drop-down arrow feature that allows you to perform various actions. The wallet page allows you to buy, sell, power up, transfer, delegate, and also explore the market feature (where you can buy and sell HIVE and Hive Dollars, or vice versa).
Therefore, your wallet is very valuable; all activities on the platform generate income in your wallet. So, protect your wallet well and prevent others from gaining access to your wallet password.
We recommend storing your password securely, preferably offline. Here's an article explaining how to manage your password. Find your best options on this blog: www.pcmag.com
