How to export private key from web3auth?

[1swaraj]

I would like to know how can one export the private key from web3auth. Also, is this dependent on the blockchain?

Yes, exporting a private key depends on the blockchain

E.g. here's a code snippet for doing it on ethereum

//Assuming user is already logged in.
async getPrivateKey() {
  const privateKey = await web3auth.provider.request({
    method: ""eth_private_key""
  });
  //Do something with privateKey
}

Here's one for solana

async getPrivateKey() {
  const privateKey = await web3auth.provider.request({
    method: ""solanaPrivateKey""
  });
  //Do something with privateKey
}

And here's one for other non-evm and non-solana chains

async getPrivateKey() {
  const privateKey = await web3authProvider.request({
      method: ""private_key""
  });
    //Fetch Address with privateKey
}

Is there a way for the user to do this on their own?
