This is for the absolute beginners like me. After watching 50 minutes Guide to Hive on Youtube, I first signed up Hive through Ecency. However, I didn't get 4 Hive Hierarchical keys but just Ecency ID and password. Where are those keys? It took me a few nights to figure out. The following is the procedure I did:
- go to hive.blog and log in with your Ecency user name and password
- you will get the warning window "Logging in with non-posting key". Don't worry. Click the red highlight sentence on this window, "Open my Hive Wallet to access and view my posting key".
- you will go to a new page showing Posting Key, Activate Key, Owner Key and Memo Key. But all those keys are masked with black dots.
- Click Reveal button beside any key, a log-in window will pop up and sign in with your Ecency user name and password again. This time, you will see all your 4 keys.
- Write down those keys and keep them in the safe place.
With these 4 keys, you can sign in almost all Hive Dapps with your Ecency user name.
