How does this “Authorise (Blockchain Consensus)” work?

Authorise (blockchain consensus) happens after you have gotten two of your social recovery connections to scan your recovery code. The BrightID mobile app does this for you. See also this section of the gitbook.

What is my explorer key? What can i do with that?

It’s for viewing your area of the BrightID graph with names and photos from your backup. You can try it with the BrightID explorer and Aura game.
