Greetings my steemit family, today i will be dwelling on my achievement 2 task which will portray the depth of my understanding of the task.

Question 1: Have you retrieved all your keys on steemit?

Yes i have retrieved all my keys.

Question 2: Do you know each of these keys functions and restrictions?

Yes.

The Master key: The master key is used for account recovery and in generating every other key including the owner key. It should necessarily be used when going through account recovery.

Active key: The active key is used in situations that require alot of care like transferring of funds, power up/down transactions, converting steem dollars,voting for witnesses, updating profile details and placing market order.

Memo key: The memo key is used in the encryption and decryption of memo when transferring funds. The # sign is used inorder to encrypt a memo.

The posting key: This key is particularly to login to the steemit account, edit post, resteem,comment, vote, follow or mute other steemit accounts.

The owners key: This is the most powerful key and is meant to be used only when necessary. The reason it is known to be the most powerful key is because it can change any key of an account including the owners key. It is also used to recover a compromised account. This key is meant to be stored offline for the accounts safety.

Question 3: How do you plan to keep your master password?

I plan on keeping my master password in a safe storage like Email draft folder, flash drive, USB stick, printed copy or safe deposit box.
