Security is a necessity and is of top most importance when it comes to safeguard and integrity of a database and everything relating to organisation.
Security is a very important issue in database management because information stored in a database is very valuable and many time, very sensitive commodity. So the data in a database management system need to be protected from abuse and should be protected from unauthorized access and updates.
I was dumbfounded by not only the lengthy write-up for security purposes which obviously made me confused and took me some time to understand but also the the hard work steemit use for thier basic security.
I must say I'm really impressed and the hierarchical key system is brilliant.
Ok, to the questions....
Question 1
"Have you retrieved all your keys on Steemit?"
Answer
Yes, i have.
Question 2
"Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?"
Answer
Yes, I do. The keys are:
Posting key: It is used for logging in and allows posting, commenting, voting and other social items.
Active key: It is used for performing transactional actions.
Owner key: It is the most important and powerful key because it can change any key. It is used to recover a compromised account.
Memo key: This key is used to encrypt and decrypt messages.
Public Key: This can be used to look through transactions.
Question 3
How do you plan to keep your master password?
Answer
I downloaded copies of the softcopy containing my keys and saved it to all my devices, I also changed the softcopy to hardcopy and stored in a file just incase the digital storage becomes inconvenient and unreliable.
Question 4

Select "wallet"
Click on Steem balance
Click on "transfer"
Fill in the required spaces and click "next"
Question 5
Do you know how to power up your STEEM?
Answer
Yes I do,,,
