You can sign into the wallet with any of your keys, have you tried it? And as always, your active will be used to make transactions. :)
There is a suggestion in the box to log in with your "posting" key, I assume to get users in the habit of using it. Then when you go to complete a transaction that requires a higher key, it prompts you to do so.
I just went through the whole process to walk through it.. seems pretty straight forward, just something new we have to get used to.
So you can login to the wallet with your posting key also? I didn't try it (why should I if I want to retrieve rewards only? ;))
I think it's pushing users away from steemit.com and its wallet a little more.
You can log into the wallet with any key. The goal is to always use the lowest authority key possible on each action. So, you only need your posting key to login and see your wallet. If you attempt a transaction that requires a higher authority (as example a transfer) it simply prompts you to enter the specific key. It’s pretth straightforward but I’m sure will take some getting used to.
Um you can log in with a posting to to the wallet SURE but you cant SEND ANY STEEM or SBD unless you alrteady have your active key
Ive already been using vessel this whole time, i have 10 ways to use steem, im being agry for all the VOICLESS users who ARENT as adepted at steem as I am
You have ALWAYS needed your active key to SEND ANY STEEM and many other transactions. So, as someone who also tries to be the voice of the community and ensure the information is out there in a way they understand, I felt the need to correct your statement.. as it was incorrect.
Thanks for showing your distaste for facts by flagging my comment though.. it's clear you are only here to scream and give false information.
So sorry I interrupted, carry on.
Your comments arent even flaghged, what are you TALKING about
And you are UNAWARE that steemitwallet TOLD everyone to Login with POSTING KEYS ? And then Locks everyoen out who tris using teh PERMISSIONS PAGE?

I forget that speaking to you is pointless 🙂 Apologies.
I’m aware of the actual facts and I explain it all in my post (which you left some super vital feedback on) and how to take care of any challenges they come across. I’m glad you aren’t having issues, I’m gonna go back to helping those that are. Tootles 👋
I cant sign in my password is saved in a browser extension that only works when its on steemit.com halp me how do I move chromes password autofill to the new website??
You will have to manually enter your password (or copy/paste) just as you did the first time you entered the steemit website. Then your browser will give you the option to save your password for the steemitwallet.com site, which you then can do for future use.
Let me know if you have any further questions. You can find me on discord, telegram etc with the same name.
@llfarms If I may ask? I have just gone into the wallet and logged in with my posting key. But there is no "Redeem" tag showing anymore?
What's next to do?
Regards!
Hey @papilloncharity! By "redeem" do you mean to claim your payout rewards? If so, you will still only need to be signed in with your posting key to do so. I just tested it to be sure. It might just be that you don't have any unclaimed currently. I see you have a post closing later today, possibly check back then?
Thank you so much for your kind help and I have managed to sort it out with the proper key. I tested the "redeem" and it worked fine!
Blessings!
I only have my wallet passwords saved in the password manager and no where else, can I copy it from there? Or am I just completely screwed with no notice!
You should be able to recover them on your side yes, and then I would suggest saving them in multiple places as well as using a password manager plugin possibly.
Ideas for keeping keys -
I don’t know which one you have been signing in with, so I don’t know what is saved in your browser, but once you have them all (Master, Owner, Active, Posting and Memo)
Label which is which (and what you need them for)
Save them to a pdf (if you enter your master in the Steemit site, a pdf will actually now be offered to you).
Print multiple hard copies and keep them in safe locations
Save pdf on a thumb drive and keep it safe
Use a password manager for daily use. (Ex. LastPass, 1password or keychain.)
Okay thanks for backup ideas but I don't have a clue how to get the passwords out of the browser to reuse :|
I just tried logging out of steemit and copying the ****** form of the password into the wallet login page and it does not work
my apologies figured out how https://www.isunshare.com/internet/recover-or-find-passwords-saved-on-chrome-browser.html
Ok, let’s talk through this: how do you normally sign into Steemit?
If you have been relying on the browser saving your passwords, what browser is it?
Do you have your keys possibly saved anywhere else?
I figured out how to extract it and found also that chromes password manager is glaringly insecure
