Salutations to all Steemit users. I'm back with another post on Basic security on STEEM . The purpose is to teach new members about basic STEEM security, such as how master passwords operate and how to distinguish between their account posting key, active key, private owner key, and memo keys. And how new comers used their Steemit wallets.
I will like to thank everyone who supported, encouraged, and commented on my first Achievement 1 post.I will also appreciate and thank @jeph001 for introducing me to Steemit platform.I will also like to thank @elieny for her support and guidance on this platform.I will also appreciate @goodybest for supporting me. May Jehovah bless and reward you all. Thank you very much.
Question
Have you retrieved all your keys on steemit?
Answer: yes
I did it when attempting to log into my newly created account.I saved them on my Google Drive, memory card, email, and external hard drive to avoid losing them.
Question 2
Do you know each of these keys function an Restrictions?
Answer: Yes, I recognize and understand the functions and limitations of my Steemit keys, and I can use any of those keys to do their tasks on my Steemit account.
Keys are classified into two pairs.
Public And private:
Private keys accomplish more tasks than public keys, although they are only used for authentication, encryption, and data descriptions.

Posting keys: These keys can be used to post, remark, vote, edit, follow people, mute an account, and log in.
