RE: Introducing SteemPeak, a new application for the Steem blockchain with everything you need
Hi. I checked out out steempeak and I like it. However, I don't like using the ACTIVE key to log in. For steemit I only log in using the POSTING key, so that if someone gets it, they can't move money from my account. This seems A LOT safer. When logging into steempeak it says you can log in using your POSTING key but they you have to use your ACTIVE key or PASSWORD. Why is this? I do not feel comfortable using my ACTIVE key. Plus, I can't use your site for other accounts that I only have the POSTING key for, rendering it useless. Please think about changing this.
Hi @choogirl, thanks for checking out @steempeak. Steempeak use SteemConnect to login, so actually your active or posting key is never sent to our servers. Unfortunately we cannot change how SteemConnect works, and currently the active key is required to authorize your account the first time you login. After the first login there is a way to login with your posting key, you can check the full post here: https://steempeak.com/busy/@eqko/how-to-use-steemconnect-v2-to-login-to-busy-org-or-any-other-3rd-party-front-end
Thanks. I think that worked (at least for my personal account).
@choogirl what @asgarth said that you're not actually logging into SteemPeak ever. However i have used a work around to be able to get the Posting key to work. I hope @steemconnect fixes it so we don't need a work around and can just use posting anytime and all the time.
Thanks. The work around seems to work. A permanent solution would be great if steemconnect fixes it though. I still can't log into the other accounts I post from since I don't have the active keys.
Yes we've had that issue before. Someone with the active key will need to log into SteemPeak first.... then you'll be able to use the posting key on that account.
Yeah if you know anyone from SteemConnect let them know. We'll keep trying to see if there's a better solution.
I don't. But I'll ask around.
