We've released a bunch of updates to https://steempeak.com. Go check them out and see which ones you can find...
KEYCHAIN
Let's start with the biggest update... we've integrated the Keychain browser extension and you can now login and use SteemPeak without sharing your private keys. Of course, if you don't have the extension or prefer to keep using SteemConnect you can always use SteemPeak as you already do.
Keychain is currently available for Chrome and Brave. You can get the latest version of the extension here.

What you cannot do with Keychain
When you use Keychain your private key never leaves your browser, so you'll not be able to schedule posts if you login with Keychain. At the time of writing the only way to schedule posts on SteemPeak is using SteemConnect.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM KEYCHAIN
- SteemPeak automatically knows if you have Keychain plugin installed
- Logging in is just a matter of typing an account name (as long as you're logged into Keychain)
- First, log out of your account so that you can log back in with Keychain instead of SteemConnect
- You may manually approve each unique blockchain transaction
4b. Or you can tell Keychain to always trust that sort of transaction - Controls for Keychain permissions are in the Keychain browser extension
BE CAREFUL WITH KEYCHAIN
- Be careful with the computer you are logged into with Keychain.
- Use Keychain settings to make sure no one but you can access your computer while Keychain is active.
- Log out or set up auto log out of Keychain so no one can abuse your Keychain access when accessing your computer.
THE JOYS OF STEEMPEAK W/ KEYCHAIN
Many people will use Keychain because of the security benefits and the fact you don't have to trust anyone or any app with access to your posting authority, however, there are some really wonderful time and energy saving benefits
SENDING MONEY:
Actions like Sending Steem, SBD or a delegation just got so much faster and easier!
One button transactions
POWER UP:
... also way easier and faster now.
Please note transferring to savings is still SteemConnect action for now.
WITNESS VOTES:
We're polishing this function up so hopefully it's functioning by the time you read this post (or early tomorrow)... but think about the process of giving out 30 Witness votes in a couple of minutes. Whereas it was about that long for every vote prior to Keychain.
- Select those you want to add as witnesses here: https://steempeak.com/witnesses
Or just click on that approve witness button on the account profile of any witness
