Active key issue with staking POB and Hive - solved in replies to this post

UPDATE: The below post was made as I was struggling to power up my POB and stake it to POB power and getting error messages that my active key was not connected to my Hive key wallet extension. Thankfully @leprechaun and @jaxsonmurph have resolved this issue for me. Please see the issue I was having in the article below, and the solution, which worked for me, in their replies. Hope this helps more of you! :-)

hi, so I am fairly new to Hive and POB. I have earned a small bit of Hive and POB tokens and wanted to stake them to increase my voting power. When I tried to stake on Hive through PEAKD I got the message:

The current website is trying to send a request to the Hive Keychain browser extension for account @samsmith1971 using the active key, which has not been added to the wallet.

Somehow I managed to come right by logging out of my Hive account and logging back in using my user name and active key. Then when I went to my wallet it allowed me to stake my Hive tokens as HP.

However, in POB I am still having this same issue. If I try to stake my POB to POB power then I get the message:

The current website is trying to send a request to the Hive Keychain browser extension for account @samsmith1971 using the active key, which has not been added to the wallet.

I tried logging out of Proofofbrain.io and relogging in using my Hive active key. Then went to my wallet but now there are no drop down options next to my balances to enable me to move my POB tokens to POB power.

Any ideas what to do? I am really stumped. Thought if I am having this issue then maybe other newbies are too. Any help much appreciated.

Thank you
