Tomorrow 22 February 2022, the long-awaited Hive Authentication Services will officially go live.

We have been testing it for several months with several users and developers actively participating in the beta. I would like to thank them for the awesome work and feedback that has been provided and which has made it possible to improve and refine this project.

22022022

We, developers, like to play with numbers and the date of 22.02.2022 (French date format) seemed quite appropriate and easily memorable.

Therefore, starting this Tuesday, February 22, 2022 starting 00:00 UTC, the Hive Authentication Services will be publicly available for anyone to use.

This means that:

Hive Keychain for Mobile with HiveAuth support will be available for download.
Hive.blog with HiveAuth support will be released (this concerns the social part only (hive.blog). The wallet part (wallet.hive.blog) is still in the test phase).
A new version of Peakd.com with HiveAuth support will be released.
Engage with HiveAuth support will be released

Many other applications still working on integrating HiveAuth will follow soon...

Welcome to a more secure Web 3.0 world

Once again, the combination of the Hive blockchain and this new service should revolutionize the way users authenticate on their applications.

In view of the many phishing attempts that have emerged recently, I can only welcome the release of HiveAuth, which should drastically reduce the leakage of keys or passwords.

Check the countdown on the HiveAuth official website, where you will also find all the information regarding this service once it is released.
