I do not understand how it works , still , I do accept that you guys get it and that's good enough for now.

Q: so the active key/private will still be the same for HIVE ? or just the public key?

All of the public keys are the same (essentially copied over). Since the public keys are the same, that means the same private key will work. The private keys are not on the chain; only you have them.

This applies to all keys (owner, active, posting, memo).

They will both be the same. Although if you change your password after the fork they will be different after that point.

If you're asking because you're worried - don't be. You will be able to log in and use apps/tools in exactly the same way as you do it now. Both public and private keys will remain the same.
