Personal security or account security is very important these days. As we live in this age of technology where everything from our bank accounts to social media is controlled by passwords, it is easy to understand the importance of security in all online activities. We are mainly dependent on gadgets and conduct daily activities including many transactions online. So various sites advise us to give strong passwords so that hackers can't hack.
Due to the advancement of technology, everything will be controlled by fingerprint, retina scan, face recognition or password. Signing or writing as before will be greatly reduced. And in the case of Steemit or blogging, the security issue is a bit complicated because if someone gets the password here, there is no specific authority for you to complain to and get back your assets or your account.Being blockchain technology and decentralizing it, there is no central authority to whom you can claim account ownership or your wallet. So account security is more important in this case.
A little mistake on purpose or a little mistake can cause a lot of damage. Maybe you have developed your account slowly and painstakingly for a long time or accumulated a lot of coins but due to a small mistake hackers can take over or you can lose it yourself.Therefore, before working on any platform, it is very important to know the security details of that platform very well. And if it's Steemit, there's nothing to say. Today let's discuss Steemit account security in detail so that those who don't know about it can at least benefit.
When we have an account on Steemit, a password is created when the account is created or we give a password called a master password. This is very important which I have discussed below. But beyond that we are given different types of keys to do different things.Private keys are very important to you and private keys are layered in different ways. That is, the function of each key is limited to a certain range so that only those keys that are required for the job can be used.
You can only use this key for social activities. That is, you can do things like post, comment, vote with this key. No other operations can be performed with this key. Since the wallet function can be done with this key, it is the least sensitive of the keys. That is, you should not be too hesitant to use this key on any web site as someone with this key may be able to vote, comment from your account but not be able to do your wallet related tasks.That means you will use this key when you do social activities and this key is only limited to social activities, but let's see what you can do with this key.
With this key you can do your financial tasks like if you want to do any transaction then you will definitely need this key. So understand how sensitive it is. Always avoid using this key anywhere other than a trusted website because if someone gets hold of your activation key, it is possible for them to empty your wallet instantly. If you have any steam and liquid from SBD in your wallet, it can be transferred instantly with this key. Since powering up takes time four weeks to power down, if someone uses your key to power down, you'll be able to see and receive account recovery and password change times. You will lose fluid in no time.
