What are steemit keys?

It's like other social media accounts that require a password to access the account but steemit makes difference here steemit provides more safety and precautions to the user by generating multiple keys. those are

permission 🔑
Posting 🔑
Active 🔑
Memo 🔑
Owner 🔑

These unique keys have their own function which is important this is because it is not just a social media platform it gives the users wide opportunities to create and publish the contents for that they got rewarded in cryptocurrency.

When you sign up steemit for the 1st time you will be given a master password, this master password is the highest level of security that performs sensitive actions and it must be kept safe immediately itself. This master key derives all permission on the key including the owner key when the owner key can change all permission but it can not drive all keys only the master password can perform it.

The functions of the keys
