Hello steemians! I hope you all are good and doing well. I came to steemit some days before and liked it much. I am done with my first achievement of introdution and i'm glad that my first achievement has been verified now i'm gonna share my second acheivement of basic security on steemit.

Security
Firstly i wanna share the meaning of security it means the defend of your account from immoral people. All online users should be vigilant for the security of their data in short we should see to our security first for defence.

Question 1:
Have you restored your keys here?
Yeah. I have restored keys here and i'm managing my account with these keys. I keep these keys in a secure folder with a lock. Moreover i also keep these keys in my laptop for better security.

Questuon 2:
Do you know about the working of these keys?
Yup i know about their working. So moving forward wanna share the working of these keys with you people.
Steemit has provided some keys to make sure the security of user's data to protect the account from being hacked.
•Firstly signup with email or phone number and account is created. Then Master key/Owner key is provided first. If u need you can change it on the spot.

Following are the names and functions of keys provided by steemit
●Posting key:
This key is important than all keys. It is used for social acts like
•To publish
•To edit
•To vote down/up
•To follow

●Master key:
We can operate all other keys because of this key.

●Active key:
This key is used to transmit steem from one to other account.
•To transmit a team from to another account we should login to the wallet, here we see a trinagular sign by clicking on this sign we get alot of options in the form of a row. So we can choose the option of transfer here.

●Owner key:
This key is used to reset owner or active and posting keys. It also helps to recover account. This key owns all other keys.

And at the end here are some basic security tips:
You should use posting keys for everyday login. You should not click any unknown link. Moreover you can also install a anti-virus in ur device.You should keep these keys in a secure folder.

Completion of this achievement gave me more knowledge about steemit. I'm in progress to learn more about steemit and i'll complete next achievement sooner.
