How to login with your posting key (and why this is important)

in steemit-guides •  7 years ago 

Im having problems logging into my account on my computer for the first time , I’m logged on on my phone and have access to all my keys and passwords I have spent 5 hours trying to figure this out and I am knowledgeable on public and private keys , I have emerged every key and password including master key and for nothing it won’t let me log onto my computer , when I enter my owner key it says some error like “ you need an owner private key not public” but there is no such thing as a owner public it’s only private , anybody else have this issue!? Dam I just want to log on on my computer lol

Try have a look at www.steemit.com/@yourusername/permissions You will there see all your passwords. Make sure not to use a public key. Public keys usually start with STM so you dont want any of these. To log on steemit you need Private Posting Key.

So odd yeah I have but just curious why is there a public active key? If we only can use private active key what’s the point in having a public active key ?

Also it says you must use your active or owner key but when I type in my owner key it says I must use a private owner key but there is only ONE owner key we don’t have a “show private key” button for the owner key that don’t make sense
