If you’re using your phone you can log into it with hive signer. If you are on a computer absolutely get hive keychain. It’s far better and more secure than even using hive signer. The info is encrypted on your computer rather than on a server.

Thank you. A question please.
I just explained to Glen my concerns regarding password containers. I've never used one before. Without getting to technical, can you explain why you trust them not to get compromised by either the app holder or a hacker who somehow would get access to manipulating your browser?
The way I understand it is that the chrome extension encrypts the key strings with a password you use to unlock and sign transactions. The software asks for just your posting key or active key so it’s minimal required to do most things. If anything suspicious happens from hacking to your computer they can’t do anything on hive unless they know your unlock password for hive keychain. I don’t know if a key logger captures the password but it’s safer than broadcasting the transaction to a third party server that then signs it for you. I’m not too technical for this particular stuff but it’s safer in my experience! Less vectors of attack.
If you’re concerned with protection try getting the Tor browser or Brave. I use brave personally and it’s great with the upgraded security measures.
Thank you.
