Hello Steemians,

Achievement in one's life is no joke. Having achieved my first verification in this community (introduction) is a great honor and therefore leads me to my next achievement which is to understand the security aspect of Steemit in the the
Steem Blockchain. Below are my understanding of the Steem blockchain passwords which are referred to as private keys and answers to asked questions on this achievement task.

Question1
Have you retrieved all your keys on Steemit?

Yes, and of course understood the essence of these private keys when creating my account.

Question2
Do you know each of these keys functions and restrictions?

Yes, I know the purpose of each key and understand it cannot be used for functions not assigned to. Below are the main private keys and their functions;

Posting key:
As the name implies, it is used to help Steemians in posting, commenting, and voting on posts and comment by fellow community members.

Memo key:
Also as the name implies, helps in create and decrypt memos.

Active key:
Used in transferring tokens (wallet-related actions) and also powering up and down steem.
Owner key:
Been the most important private key, can be used to reset all other keys if one suspect his other keys have been compromised.
Question3
How do you plan to keep your master password?

My master password have been saved to my google chrome account, written in my diary, laptop as well as phone document under lock.

Question4
Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another steem user account?
