How to get private key for address at blockchain.info?

[boy130]

Hi,

Sorry for my stupid question but I can't find my private keys at blockchain.info!

How and where I can get copy of private key? 

Thanks a lot!

I don't think that blokchain.info will bring back private keys to their wallet. They removed it from their site not so long ago, when new version of website was released. But I really can't understand reason why they removed private keys.

No, they removed that feature already as  @LTU_btc said, and your coins are not totally safe there as you can't access the private keys of your wallet, means that blockchain.i are the owner of those coins you store there. Even they said that they can't access your keys or they don't know how many coins you stored; there's no guarantee that you're entirely safe in any web wallets,  much better if you transfer to a desktop wallet.

I was thinking the guy asked why he  cannot see the priv key on block explorer

Yeah, because I remember that they had such option..  So it is not very good for me. I want be sure that I always will have access to my bitcoins...

They have removed this feature for wallet addresses but it is still available for addresses that are imported in your wallet.

Goto https://blockchain.info/wallet/#/settings/addresses and on side of every imported address you will see "More Options" click on it and than click on private key then you can view private key for that address that you have imported before. There is also option to sign message with that address.

Thank you very much for that information. So I just need to generate elsewhere my bitcoin address with keys and import to blockchain.

Yes you can try bitaddress.org , download their github and open it in your browser from offline computer (if you want better security) but if you are not going to use that address to store large amount of bitcoin than just create a bitcoin address and key pair from their webpage directly.
