    Active Key are usually for transactions of monetary or restrictive value (like authorizations or your profile).

    Reach out via Discord to each of the apps you are using.

    If you are too bothered to go on Discord, either ask here or go to @atexoras.pub for a drink and ask away.

    So at this moment, most applications ask for more than the 'active key'? It does, of course, make sense to use this key, but it does make it too risky. The innovation of having multiple keys is that you can choose what amount of trust you give away. Apps should only require the active key, no?

      There are 4 keys... each has different permissions depending on what functions they can execute.

      It is not depending on the app that a certain key needs to be used, but instead depending on what function the broadcasted transaction will try to execute. In your Hive-Keychain, you should have all keys loaded in order for them to be asked on the right requests. You also need to select a node when you are broadcasting (usually the default works)... in case the targeted host is not working, you can select another one and try again.

      Some info points that might help:

      Let me know more questions and if any of this helps or makes it even harder to understand.
