1.0 signup on the hive and get a user name.

signup on the hive is easy now there are several different ways you can do it either by paying or getting it for free I would recommend using ecency to get any account it's free and might take 1 day or so. for it, you need an email address.
pick a username and it can not be changed afterward so choose carefully and a referred username you can use mine @aiovo if you like but it's optional.

1.1 what are keys and how to store them.

when you get an email from ecency that your account is created you will receive a password under your username and remember to store your password securely cause you cant recover it if you lost it meaning you lost your account and all the money in it as well.

1.2 editing profile and info.

you can edit your profile by going to the setting option on the top right corner
you can use any name in the Display Name bar because that's not your username.
in about write about yourself like bios on other platforms.
it is recommended to use a square picture as a profile and a 1900 x 265-pixel picture as background you can also add your website link if you have one, add your location, and change your Language there are 11 Language you can choose from

I still remember the pain when I used the platform as it's not beginner friendly
