WhaleVault :: Secure Graphene Cross-Chain Key Store Extension

whalevault's Issues

Suggestion: Only warn about insecure passwords

As someone who values freedom overt security I would prefer if you would not enforce strict password rules but only suggest that the password is not secure. It's not yours to decide which risks I am prepared to take.

Whalevault v0.1.48 auto locks itself after a period of time on Brave browser

It seems like the autolocking mechanism of v0.1.48 is always running.

My autolock is set to default (lock WhaleVault manually or when the browser is closed). After some time WhaleVault will lock itself without any intervention as if the idle lock setting is enabled.

This did not occur on the last revision of the extension.

Running this on the current revision of Brave v1.62.165 (Feb 14, 2024). I've backed up my settings and restored them along with a fresh reinstallation of the extension yet I see the same behavior. As it stands this behavior makes the extension unusable in its current form.

New Version of BlurtJS

We have just published @blurtfoundation/blurtjs v.0.1.3.

This version is needed to correctly sign a comment_options operation that has the extension for setting payout option to 100% power up. With the previous version of blurtjs, we get an error when trying to set a post to 100% power up.

Please update to this version as soon as you are able.

Add support for recurring transfers on hive

I was attempting to set a recurring transfer on hive and am met with the following error

Error during 'transfer' broadcast:
window.hive_keychain.requestRecurrentTransfer is not a function

The addition would be appreciated.

Firefox whalevault link leads nowhere

The title says it all, while trying to reach the URL:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/whalevault/

Result:

Oops! We can’t find that page

“Wrong password!” even when the correct password was entered.

WhaleVault reports “Wrong password!” even when the correct password was entered. This has not happened several times to me.

I noticed that in particular when the computer was restarted or when I temporarily deactivated WhaleVault. Could it be that an encrypting seed is lost on restart?

The other thing I noticed that WhaleVault, unlike Steem- and Hive-Keychain forces me to add a “special character” to the password. Something I would normally avoid as special characters are a notorious source of problems in password.

I don't consider the added security of a special character worse the potential problems. Which reminds me: It's not really yours to tell me what password to use. You can suggest that a password is insecure but at the end of the day it is my decision which risks I'm prepared to take.

Blank screen issue when attempting to create a comment.

I have a strange issue when replying to comments after a day or so of being logged into ecency.com using WhaleVault under Firefox.

I am logged in properly and when I type a single letter into the comment box my browser changes into a blank white screen. I noticed if I clear out any cookies from ecency and log back in using WhaleVault I can reply only until the next day when the problem surfaces again.

I'm not sure if this is an ecency.com issue or a WhaleVault issue.

Any suggestions? This is extremely annoying. Thanks.

Dropdown doesnt work when adding new account

When pressing the dropdown arrow nothing happens, no chain options are given. This is tested on Chrome on Windows 10, two other users reported this issue.

Cancel order on hive engine not working.

I also noted that canceling an order on hive engine did not work as well. I'm not sure but I think placing an order did work.

Again, this might be an hive engine problem.

Posting comments with PeakD and Steempeak not working.

I noticed that it is not possible to post comments using PeakD and Steempeak when using WhaleVault. All other functions in particular, posting blogs and upvoting work just fine.

Which is also why I run into Issue #2 as I needed to temporarily deactivate WhaleVault to post a comment and confirm that it is indeed the combination of WhaleVault and PeakD/Steempeak.

It could of course be that PeakD/Steempeak are at fault.
