The update was released last Friday and we cannot be grateful enough to the Leo dev team for doing such an amazing job on the new Leo Finance UI. Each Each time an update is released, something new and really interesting appears. With the update just released, we have two interesting additions for signing in to the new UI - QR code and Hive Signer.
So in addition to using Hive keychain, these two new sign in methods takes us to a total of 3 ways to securely sign into to the new Leo finance UI. The interesting thing about this update is that mobile users can now sign through the browser and not necessarily the browser of keychain. I already tried the new logins and they are really cool.
Hive Signer for mobile browser logins
Before now mobile users have to sign in from the in-built browser of Keychain. Of course, that has been working for majority of us - almost all of us. However, many users would have preferred signing in through any mobile browser of choice. After all, they use the same browsers to access leofinance.io. With this new update and additional sign in methods, no need to always run to keychain browser each time you wish to use the alpha interface. Just open any mobile browser and access the site through hivesigner or the QR option.
Hivesigner mobile - how to Sign in
First of all you would like to take a look at how the sign in page appears on desktop. I use both mobile devices and my PC to access the Leo interface. Check the thumbnail image on this post, and you will see the 3 sign in methods up there.
Now, here below is how it appears on mobile and how to use it. I will be focusing on Signing in through the Hivesigner since I feel its the easiest way for mobile users.
Take these steps to login:
Step 1: From any mobile browser such as Chrome, visit https://alpha.leofinance.io/login
Step 2: The third Sign in method is Hivesigner. So under that. enter your username and click log in
Step 3: It takes you to HiveSigner where you enter your username and Hivesigner password. Click continue. Then authorize the transaction in the next pages to complete your sign in.
Congratulations!!! you have logged in as you can see below. Enjoy threads on mobile browser!
If your threads are disappearing on the alpha UI...
For some few days back, a lot of us experienced glitches while using the alpha UI on Hive keychain browser. When you make a thread, it disappears. And votes too was not working.
The Leo team reliably informed us that this is as a result of the update on the Sign in end of the new UI to implement the new sign in methods. In order to solve this issue if it is still repeating, just sign out and sign in again. Of course if you will be using the mobile browser (not keychain browser) to sign in for the first time, you wont have any of such challenges again. Your threads are published the way it should and votes work.
Stay updated
Until the final product is pushed out on 30th April ahead of the adoption campaign, always get updates every Friday as the Leo team releases them. This is will help you know whats new and what to do if there are any bugs somewhere.
Of course you need to stay patient because the alpha UI is still work under construction. The few glitches here and there are normal and will all be corrected before launch. And remember that the old UI still works perfectly. you can always go back to it and continue threading. But from my own end, the new alpha UI is cool and working very well right now.
