Question 1
Have you retrieve all your keys on steemit?

Yes I have,all my keys are with me.i have kept them safe.

Question2
Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?
Active key
Owner key
Memo key
Master password
Posting key

Posting key helps accounts to post.edit, comment, vote,resteem, follow or mute other accounts.
Most users can log in too many times, with the posting key.this can cause the account been compromised.
So limited posting key Is there to limit the amount of time you posted, so that the account is not compromised.

Active key-This key Is for sensitive tasks, like transferring funds, power up/down transaction.converting steem dollars, voting for witnesses, you can also use it for updating profile details, placing a market order, and also for avatar.

Owner key-The owner key is used when necessary,it is very important and powerful, IT can change any key of an account, including the owner key,it is also used to recover a compromised account.it is meant to be stored offline.

Memo key-Is used for encryption and decryption.This occurs when transferring funds.In order to encrypt a memo,use the pound#sign before it

The difference between the master password and owner key is that where as master password is used to generate all the other keys, including the owner key.master password is useful when recovering an account.it is advisable to keep your master password in a safe storage.
The master password is the one you get on signing up.

You use the master password keys go to your
steemit wallet and retrieve all the other key
,All other keys you use as you go forward.

Question 3

Question 5
Do you know how to power up your STEEM?
Yes I know how to power up my liquid steem.
The same procedure I used to transfer my liquid steem to another user is the same process I used to power up my liquid steem, but here instead of clicking on transfer I clicked on power up and a page opened where I had to include the amount of power up I needed
