Reveal Secret Key with password entry

Open friedger opened this issue 3 years ago • 7 comments

There could be a switch for power users to advanced mode, that can reveal the current Secret Key in the settings.

Yes, I currently am locked out of accessing my tokens since I lost my seed phrase. Would be a much benefited edition if this were added.

I'd like to see this. Personally I don't like browser based wallets. Maybe I'm just paranoid but this type of setup seems way less secure than a desktop wallet.

Even on the Hiro web site it says that being able to see the secret key is a supported feature:

At a minimum this should be updated to not say something that's not true.

Basic view: Not everyone interacts with apps, they use desktop wallets just to store their asset. Also, not everyone trusts web wallets. Result: No need to install a web wallet.

Reveal the Secret key with password entry will be so helpful for this kind of user and practically will benefit all users.

Thanks for the heads up. I've corrected that comparison table to reflect that it's not yet supported by desktop.
