**Keychain forThe Hive**-Keychain is a browser extension (available for Chrome, Firefox and Brave) and mobile app (for Android and Apple), that can store the [private keys](/wiki/Private-Key) of one or more [[Hive]] user accounts, thereby creating secure and seamless access to Hive powered websites, [dApps](/wiki/Decentralized-Application), and services [* https://hive-keychain.com/].

## Main features
- Stores private keys of Hive user accounts
- Sign transactions requested by dApps
- Wallet function (viewing balances, transferring tokens, staking, delegating and buying from fiat or exchanges)
- Token swapping function
- Portfolio view (showing balances across several accounts)

## Usage

Most of the Hive dApps have an integrated Keychain functionality for logins and signing transactions.
Which transactions are possible via Keychain depends on which keys have been added; for example: if only the posting key was added, token transfers or other financial transactions are not possible.
