Login

[dri94]

Before the v3 change you could login to storj with a Key likeKeys(username, password, mnemonic), however now that has changed. How do we get the apikey and encryption access to create a key now? are they user specified?

Yes, this concept change in V3. You now need an "access grant" for accessing data on the Storj network.

The access grant consist of the parts:

• Satellite address
• API Key
• Encryption Access

The API key is created by the user in the web interface on the satellite: https://documentation.tardigrade.io/getting-started/uploading-your-first-object/create-an-api-key

The Encryption Access can be generated from a human-readable passphrase.

Here is an example in the Android library that can be used to create an access grant from the API key and Passphrase: https://github.com/storj/uplink-android#creating-new-scope-from-passphrase

Note that in the Android library the "access grant" is still called "scope". This is the old name. We will soon update the Android library to reflect that.

@kaloyan-raev is there any way to expose a list of satellites with their address? So we can have the user select one. Also should we be using android-libstorj or uplink-android? The former seems to have better interfaces for handling login, etc.
