I have moved all my content away from the now centralized and controlled Steem blockchain to the decentralized Hive blockchain.

Thank you. It was a welcome request from you since I was just looking for a topic. :)
Adding posting authority requires private active key, but creating steemconnect v2 account requires only private posting key, if you want keep your active key only for yourself you can add posting auth manually like i described it in post
Cool, thx for the information. I wasn't aware you have so much access over SteemConnect. Another great way to stay safe!
Just a word to thank you for this video!
I was just trying to explore utopian.io, and was stuck at this steemconnect page, not willing to give an important key to something I did not understand. Now I do, and I can see how I can safely travel whole new world built on the Steem blockchain.
I totally understand your hesitation. One has to be very careful with these things. Always check the domain name when you enter the keys. Watch out for phishing links in comments on Steemit saying something like "This person stole your content" and then there is a proper looking link which is leading to a page that looks like the original but isn't.
Using SteemConnect though is a very good and secure thing. I use it every day.
Very informative .. good Tutorial @flauwy
