Good day everyone, as we all know security is very essential in every aspect of our lives, steemit is no exemption. This platform is very concerned with the safety of it's users. It has come up with effective ways to facilitate security for the users by creating special keys. I'm going to answer some questions regarding basic security on steem platform and also talk about these keys I earlier mentioned.
HAVE YOU RETRIEVED ALL YOUR KEYS ON STEEMIT?
Yes I have, I did this while I was signing up with steemit, I retrieved them and saved it in a separate place.
TELL ME EACH OF THESE KEY'S FUNCTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS: they're several keys that aids security,these keys includes
The Posting key: this key is used for everyday logins,to make comments on people's post ,post replies,edit, vote,resteem,follow or mute other accounts.
The active key: this is used only used when there's a need for fund transfer,power ups, convertion of dollars, voting for witnesses,and updating profile details.
The owner key: This key is very important,and can be used only when necessary, it can be used to change any of the account keys. It should be stored offline and used only in cases where one's account has been compromised.
The memo key: this key is used when one wishes to encrypt or decrypt the memos sent along with fund transfers.
The master key: as the name implies the master is the mother off all keys,it is used to generate all other keys , and the only time required to do this is when recovering an account.
HOW IS YOUR OWNER KEY KEPT? AND WHERE DO YOU KEEP IT?
my owner key is saved offline,in my flash drive and my document section,I have the digital back up for it and it's saved in separate locations.
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO TRANSFER YOUR STEEM TOKEN TO ANOTHER STEEM ACCOUNT?
Yes! First of all,you login into your account which has the steem with your username and active key, locate your wallet section and tap on it,then click on the down arrow next to the steem tokens,then click transfer.
Ater you've done that,enter the name of the account you would like to transfer funds to,then add the number of tokens and click next, re-enter the memo on the confirmation page and click ok to transfer.
HOW DOES ONE POWER UP HIS STEEM?
Do this by using the drop-down arrow, select power up,enter the quantity of steem and click power up.
And there you go, you've successfully powered up your steem.
In conclusion I really appreciate this wonderful platform for being so concerned for the security of their users,it makes me feel secured and safe here.
