Master Key

Master key -The master key is used to derive all keys for your account, including the owner key. If someone has access to your master password, they can steal your account and all of the tokens in it. So you must store it safely

Owner Key

Owner key-The owner key is only meant for use when necessary. It is the most powerful key because it can change any key of an account, including the owner key. Ideally, it is meant to be stored offline, and only used to recover a compromised account.

Active Key

Active key -The active key is meant for more sensitive tasks such as transferring funds, power up/down transactions, converting Steem Dollars, voting for witnesses, updating profile details and avatar, and placing a market order.

Posting Key

Posting key -The posting key allows accounts to post, comment, edit, vote, resteem, and follow or mute other accounts. Most users should be logging into Steemit every day with the posting key. You are more likely to have your password or key compromised the more you use it so a limited posting key exists to restrict the damage that a compromised account key would cause.

Memo Key.

Memo key -While transferring funds this key is used to encrypt and decrypt memos.
