I believe changes were made to prevent us from being able to post our keys accidentally in comments.
You were not alone. I think that used to happen much to frequently.
please ma'am let me also bring to your noticed before now using ecency wasn't an issue ....but since the upgrade I still need to copy my keys up and down. .
if I want to do any transaction or claim rewards I need to copy my active key with that I can't comment or make any post at all which I must go out to copy my posting key again, I just did that in order for this comment to go through if not the feedback will be "ecency doesn't have the authority to do whatever i action i need at that point" ...
@ecency is just my favorite front-end i use often but this recent changes is making that experience difficult
I am logged into Ecency with my active key. It is necessary to do any financial transaction on Hive.
You can put your active key into Hivesigner or Keychain and that should work too.
sorry but if logged in with your active key can you do posting and commenting as well?
Yes. If that doesn't work the way you expect we can ask @ecency for help.
thankyou very much ma'am
I uploaded my keys to Hive Keychan and it works well for me to authorize my activities within the platform.
Good! I'm glad you are back! We can't let the thiefs win.
Wow!
This problem has not been presented to me, but it is good that you share it, so that the Ecency team can review it and work on solving it.
I didn't know that this happened frequently, but it is true that if a preventive measure is implemented it can help a lot to avoid this misfortune.
Hivewatchers is downvoting a scammer that stole my icon picture and is using my username with one extra zero in it. We all have to watch out for scammers.
Identity theft is very annoying, damages the reputation of the real account, and deceives potential victims who are careless.
Thanks for sharing the experience.
It was good that you got effective help and were able to resolve everything.
In previous comments @melinda010100 has advised me what to do, so as soon as I read and respond to the remaining comments, I will work on changing my account passwords.
Luckily the thief doesn't have my owner key, so changing my keys shouldn't be too difficult for me.
