I'm happy to announce that SteemWorld now supports KeyChain for being able to make use of our private keys in a more secure and more comfortable way.
KeyChain is an open source browser extension, which signs and/or broadcasts transactions internally, so that even SteemWorld does not have access to any in there stored profiles or private keys. It can be used for multiple accounts at the same time and the private keys are being stored only locally (in the browser's local plugin storage) with great AES encryption in conjunction with a user defined password. Even if someone would steal your laptop, your private keys would be safe, because they can only be accessed by knowing your password.
KeyChain is still under development and is currently only available for Chromium based browsers. Of course, other browsers like Firefox will also be supported in the coming weeks/months. I've tested it with the awesome Brave Browser and it works perfectly.
While testing all available features on SteemWorld I came across two missing API calls (claim_account
, create_claimed_account
), which still need to be added. If you are using KeyChain and you want to claim accounts or create claimed accounts, you can temporarily disable the usage of KeyChain in Settings -> Security
. If you should encounter any other issues while using KeyChain on SteemWorld, just report them in a comment in one of my posts.
More details will be released in my next weekly newsletter ;)
Thank you for supporting my work!
