Have you obtained and saved all the keys and password of steemit?

Yes i obtained my keys while on the process of registration, and i have saved my keys and password on my google account.

Do you know all the functions and restriction of the keys?.

Yes i do know about all the keys and i do know about their functions too. There are four keys

active key
memo key
owner key and
master key.

They are explained below:

Posting key:
The posting key is the key used to post an article, commenting on an action, vote and down-vote, share posts and to follow an account. Another important feature of this key is the fact that it exempts a person to having direct contact with his wallet thereby protecting the money. The restriction is that it can’t be used to transfer funds or delegate your steem power.

Active key:
Active permission key is used for performing transactions such as transferring tokens, powering steem up and down, voting to witness or delegating steem and in changing user setting.

Memo key:
Memos are short straight to point pieces of writing that has the summary of your thoughts in regards to something. The memo permission keys of steemit is used to decrypt private memos. A message is sent encrypted so that it cannot be read during the sending process and when it is received it will be decrypted, which helps in securing the information.

Owner key:
Owner key is the key that is used to change your account password, such as the active key and posting key to restore your account (used to reset all other keys if account is compromised). It is very important to keep it safe.

Public keys: and private keys: these keys are used to encrypt and decrypt the data associated with the username and can be used to track transactions on the blockchain and verify message.

Master key:
This is the main key that we get after registering on steemit, this key is very important, it is the key that is used to generate all other keys and it should not be shared.

How do you plan to have your passkey saved?

In order to do so I download the keys (pdf file) using WPS. After that I save it in my Gmail account.
