I've seen that many new people that joined @Leofinance are having problems to open their account on @Hive. 
I thought that this calls for an article, I really wanted to do this a few weeks ago but I just didn't have that much time! 

@Khal also said that it would be great if we, authors, could make more articles of this kind! Leofinance is a big platform which is continuously growing even more. Having said that many new authors have hard time to keep up with the new things or even the basics. So, yes! These kind of articles are actually very necessary! 

**Also, something that is very important for the new authors here is that Leofinance is one of the platforms which pays a lot in rewards to every hard working author.**

## Let's start on how to login to your HIVE.BLOG account!

If you are reading this from your Leofinance account this means that you already have an account with Leo which you either opened it by Metamask or Twitter, the same username that you have here exists in HIVE.BLOG as well. 

First, go get that **Keychain extension** for your browser that can be find easily by just searching for it in GOOGLE.

After you have done that, go to your profile in **Leofinace**, go to your Wallet and click on **LEO**.

Click on the little **KEY Button** and download your **KEYS**.

It will ask for your permission in **Metamask** just click **Sign**.


Next step, open the **Hive Keychain** and click to add an account:

Then, click **USE KEYS/PWD**

And you'll see this!

Now, Enter your **Username**, the exact same one you have on **Leofinance** and you can find your "**private key**" but in the keys file it goes under the name "**password**". Click **Import Keys** after you click that you should see another page that asks you to put the **active**, **posting** and **memo keys**.

You'll have to add each of them and then click **Save**!

Keep in mind that on **Public Keys** are needed!

After you've done all this you can login to your Hive.Blog easily...surely it will ask for your confirmation every time though. 


I hope this will help you out!
