yes have retrieve all my keys and they are safe with me. they keys are;

Private posting key

Private Active key

Memo key

Master password

QUESTION 2

DO YOU KNOW THE FUNCTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS OF THOSE KEYS?

POSTING KEY:

posting key is used to login to our Steemit account, with my posting key I will be able to write , post, and comment on post, upvote or resteem post. Without these posting key I can't access my blog, so it is wise for me to keep it in a very safe place

Private Memo Key is used to decrypt/view Private Messages, it is used to send memo.

OWNER KEY

The owner key is also known as secret key, it is used to encrypt and decrypt, it is used to change other keys incase you have lost or misplaced your first keys. It is advice to keep it safe.

MASTER PASSWORD

Master key is the first you were given, is the that supercede all other keys, is the mother of all of them. With master password you can generate new keys so it is important to keep it safe.

QUESTION 3

HOW DO YOU PLAN TO KEEP YOUR MASTER PASSWORD SAFE?

Since the master password is the mother of all other key I have to keep it safe by coping it and save it in my drawer, it is offline so that anytime I misplaced my phone I can still have access to my master password.
