Whenever you try to login to @proofofbrainblog (https://www.proofofbrain.blog) or the @ecency.app from the web, you are presented with a list of users that have previously logged in. That's fine. But when there are no accounts in the list to choose from, you have to manually click on Login with Hive keychain or use Hive signer.

I would bet my next meal that 100% of users who have Hive keychain installed are not pasting in their WIFs into Ecency when they log in. Indeed, if you do so, you only need to do it once per machine/browser because you only need to click your icon once you have logged in once.

Soon I will update proofofbrain.blog so that you will probably see this:

If you don't have Keychain installed, you will see by default the password login by default. If you do have Keychain installed you will almost always see this Login with Keychain window. You can always change from one to the other. Sometimes the Keychain extension is slow to load and you might end up in the password screen. In my tests this has never happened so far in my tests of this patch.

I intend to make a patch available to @ecency.app that does this. They will be free to use my patch if they see fit.

With my front end you also get to more settings in your preferences:

See whether a post has been self voted at a glance, whether they have a limit, and whether they did a 100% power up or 50/50 and what front end. You can turn these displays off if they bother you.
