v2.5 is now live on Chromium and pending review on Firefox, coming with a bunch of new features we hope you will enjoy!

Key Protection

Keychain 2.5 introduces two more tools to make sure you are keeping your keys safe.
When sending a transfer with a memo, Keychain now verifies that no private key is passed in a memo, and shows a warning otherwise. This should improve the protection of our new users.

Along with this, we are rolling out another feature that detects if your keys have been changed. Every time the Keychain popup is opened and unlocked, it will check if your accounts' keys still correspond to the on-chain public keys. If not, a warning will be displayed and wrong kills will be highlighted in the "Manage account" page.

In most cases, this will remind users to update their keys after they changed them. But in the event of a malicious action on the account, this feature will help detect it right away.

My witness page

Witnesses can now keep an eye on their block producer's performance directly from Keychain, as well as change their parameters and activate/disable their witness.

UI/UX

We've been working with designers these past months and are now about to start integrating the new designs on the extension side. We're excited for the things to come and we hope you are too! =)
