The introduction of blockchain brought about the development of different types of Dapp which hopes to solve some of the current situations we face in our daily lives. Most or all of this Dapp require some form of authentication to run on our various devices, which lead to creating of multiple accounts and the use of private key to transfer funds and perform Dapp related activities.
Mycryptopedia defines a private key as,
The private key consists of alphanumerical characters that give a user access and control over their funds to their corresponding cryptocurrency address. The private key is used to sign transactions that allow the user to spend their funds. In other words, the private key creates unique digital signatures for every transaction that enable a user to spend their funds, by proving that the user does in fact have ownership of those funds.

Owning a private key gives users unrestricted access to their funds, and users can easily edit/modify blockchain account activities that needed some form of modification.
The private key requires a wallet to function which is provided by the same blockchain or a trusted third party organization, and TokenPocket falls under such organization.
Built on the EOS blockchain, TokenPocket acts as a Multi-chain digital wallet to EOS, ETH, IOST, BOS, and others. It also provides access to Dapp built on this said blockchains, such as RichCat, CryptoKitties, and amongst many others.
Users no longer need to import their private keys to different types of Dapp before access can be given to them, using TokenPocket they can easily access these Dapps with a click of a button.
