Good night everyone, I want to write and share about important things on hive and it is very important for everyone to know, especially those who have just joined the platform.
Each Hive activity has its own key, for example when you first register your hive account you will be sent a "Master key" via gmail, but you can't use it to write posts, comments and upvotes because the "Master Key" function not for that.
Yeah to write posts, comments & upvotes then you need a "Posting Key", then where can you get a "posting key"? come follow me !!

The first thing you need to do is open your "Wallet" section, by clicking on the word wallet, wait a few moments you will be taken to the wallet section automatically.
If it doesn't work to open the wallet, then you can refresh your internet network, usually to open the wallet it slows down a bit if the internet network is bad, no need to worry you will be fine after network refresh.

Now you are in the wallet, the other thing you need to do is login to your wallet, click on the three lines at the top right, login you can do it by writing your account name and in the password section please enter your "master key" get in Gmail when you first sign up.

after you have successfully logged into the wallet, it will look like in the picture, then you can click on the words "Keys & permission" to get your posting key.
after you click on the "keys & permision", now you scroll down to get your search.
once you get a box with the words "Your private posting key" and copy everything in that box then you can save in a safe place so you can retrieve it easily when you want to log back into your Hive account.
now you can login to your main blog by using "Posting key" to write post, comment, upvote & resteem.
An active key will differ in function from a posting key, an active key you can use to login to hive supported third party applications, send funds or delegate your Hivepower to someone or a community.
how to get your active key, first please click on the words "key & permission" like how you get the posting key, then you scroll down until you find the words "Active key".
