Hello everyone @Steemit, Good morning. How are we all doing or rather steeming. I believe all is well.

So I'm just grateful to you @cryptokannon, @focusnow, @kadosh2340, @ladyofpolicy and my home away from home @steemalive and the host of others that I didn't mention , I say thank you. Thanks to your coaching I have been able to complete my achievement 1 task and and today I will be doing my achievement 2 task which is the basic security on steemit block chain.

It is of great importance that everyone that's involved in steemit or every steem user be aware of the basic security measures needed in protecting our tokens and passwords so as not to be a victim of cyber fraud or other cyber insecurities.

It is also worthy of note that the different private keys given to you as a PDF file when you registered on steemit is meant to be private. It is your personal property, it is to be kept safe, secured and not to be shared with a third party.

There are different private keys on steemit which includes: private posting key, private memo key, private active key, Private owner key and master password.

PRIVATE POSTING KEY:

Just as the name is, it is used to login to steem apps like steemit.com and also for other social actions like posting, commenting and voting.

PRIVATE MEMO KEY:

This key is used to encrypt or decrypt private transfer memos. That is, it is used to conceal information (memos) through the means of coding or Convert information (memos) into plain text.

PRIVATE ACTIVE KEY:

This is the key used for monetary and wallet related actions . They are used for transferring tokens and powering steem up and down.

This key is used to reset all your other keys. If your account is compromised, you can use this key to recover it. But it is within the space of 30 days.
