If you want to use Keychain for Hive, you will need the updated version. The Hive version is awaiting publishing in the Google Chrome Web Store. Normally this takes around an hour but recently Google has extended these times to as long as a week.

You can however install it directly using Dev mode.

Installing Hive Keychain

These instructions work for both Google Chrome and Brave browser.

1) Download Hive Keychain directly from GitHub

GitHub Repository: https://github.com/stoodkev/hive-keychain

You will need to switch to the Hive branch as you can see below.

You will then need to download the zip file.

2) Extract the zip

Extract the zip file somewhere on your desktop or download folder. The location is not very important but desktop usually is easier.

3) Turn on Dev mode

You need to go to Extensions and then turn on Dev mode here:

Google Chrome:

Brave:

4) Install Extension

The procedure to load the extension is the same for both Chrome and Brave. Just click load unpacked extension and select the folder you unzipped.

That's it!

There are a few issues still pending that are being worked on. Claiming rewards is one of them.

Thanks for the heads up. I think I'll just wait.

Ahh Thanks for this. I accidentally used the old keychain on hive and it posted to the old Steem chain. Doh!

@thermoplastic | March 21, 2020, 1:58 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

same here, Rick - I logged on with my old posting key. It worked putting up my first post (and commenting), but nothing else (like wallet, of course) was accessible. Now I have to figure out how to access the new https://peakd.com/ - guess that comes once I am fully integrated with HIVE.

@leoplaw | March 21, 2020, 3:23 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Just log in the Hive Keychain after you have installed it as outlined above, or use PeakLock like I did before I installed the keychain.

Thanks for the heads up mate! I logged in using another option but will download hivechain later. Good to see you around here.

Also, you can change the preferences in the keychain to a different node to work as Hive wallet I was instructed. Works.

@buddyboyb | March 20, 2020, 7:07 p.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

For Firefox, you need to unzip the compressed file, select all the files that are inside the folder, and recompress. Otherwise Firefox is too dumb to find the manifest :P

Ready downloaded and installed!! thanks you are a sun!!
Unfortunately I registered early with the keychain and my publication was published on steemit and not hive! It was the biggest screw-up of my day!

@scorer | March 20, 2020, 7:36 p.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

It is still possible to use old STEEM keychain extension, but you need to change the RPC node. anyx.io works, maybe there are others too.

Couldn't upload an image, but this message looks bad.

Does this work on Phones to, or do I need a computer for the extension?

Or you could change the node and interact with Steem Keychain.

@themarkymark Thank you so much for this great post you have. I manage to add the extension on chrome. I face problem on login. I use my username from steemit or shall I say from #hive then use my posting key to login into the keychain. it does not work.. or am I doing the wrong way.. I am blur ...

@r2cornell | March 21, 2020, 1:03 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Thank you for the information. It took a little while to make it work but I did.

Now can anyone explain how I can undelegate those who do not plan on working on Hive? I can handle steem, but I have at least 33% of delegations I want to take back on hive. There may be more but I would like this first batch (around 25,000 Hive back for my own curations.

Love the new import/export feature. Maybe add that to the "steem" version to make the process of upgrading even easier?

Thank you for providing this valuable "how to" @themarkymark. I know much of this "move" was done in a heated rush, so I am being patient. Being able to power up, vote for Witnesses and such, are vital to moving forward. So very timely, waking up this morning to find this post.

I've long used SteemPeak and KeyChain. So ... Once I follow your instructions, I will hopefully be "off to the races" with Peakd and Hive Keychain! 👍

Thank you @themarkymark - I logged on yesterday using my steemit posting key, but I guess I need more than that for my wallet and other functions, so your post is heaven sent! This is a new ballgame, and I am excited to play!

@themarkymark Right, I need some advice here and please be patient with an old man.
I logged into peakd and placed my post via the keychain on the page.
Now why would I need another installed keychain?

@leoplaw | March 21, 2020, 3:21 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Thank you for the step by step instructions. I had visited the GitHub page multiple times but could not find the Hive Keychain.

But I have to say that the keychain crashes like a pork chop, and it will not allow me to submit my username and key. It is still buggy.

When will the FireFox version be available?

@shmoogleosukami | March 21, 2020, 4:19 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

For now I'll just wait until it pops up on google extension store.

Good that was crazy how to install the hive keychain

@happyme | March 23, 2020, 5:44 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

I did everything as per the instructions, but it failed.
After much experimenting, I discovered that I needed to CLOSE the browser and reopen it before the changes took effect. After that, everything worked fine. Before that, the Steem keychain kept loading instead of the Hive keychain.

I made a tutorial of what I discovered, not knowing that you had made one. (I just found yours now.) You may wish to add the browser re-boot requirement to your own tutorial since it gets more views than mine.

@themarkymark | March 23, 2020, 5:47 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

You can only have one keychain running, if you are still trying to use Steem, I recommend using two browsers, one for Steem and one for Hive.

@happyme | March 23, 2020, 6:08 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Hmmm... Interesting, since I have both keychains showing on my browser and 2 tabs open. One for Steem and one for Hive. Both seem to function as expected after I closed and re-opened the browser following installation. Any ideas about things that could go wrong?

@veryanprime | April 13, 2020, 10:51 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Any news on when it will finally get chrome approval? Unfortunately I am not permitted to install it manually on my work computer, which is the one I use most often...

Regardless, thanks for your hard work!

It seems there is not yet. There is an android workaround but no ios. An app is apparently in the works though...

@nealmcspadden | June 20, 2020, 9:58 a.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

For people who are looking at this in the future, the above process is no longer necessary. Hive keychain has been added to the google and firefox extension libraries.

firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hive-keychain/
