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

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.

Yep, did it. Thanks a lot!

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.

I really hope they'll add that feature! Grin

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.

Yeah, because I remember that they had such option.. Cry

So it is not very good for me. I want be sure that I always will have access to my bitcoins...

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

What!? I was sure that they always had it...

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.
