Achievement 2 task: basic security on steem by @iamchimary

Image source

Security is one important factor in our lives. Be it the house, the Church....even our books are kept safe to be "secure". Both the material and immaterial things which are important in our lives must be safeguarded and protected to avoid loss or manipulation.

Steemit too, is not an exception. I must know my keys, it importance and how to use it. This is of importance and is one of the reasons for this post and a proof that I've done the needful @cryptokannon

COMPREHENSION OF MY KEYS

Posting key-
The posting key is used by accounts to comment, edit, post, vote, resteem, and mute or follow other accounts. Most users should be logging into Steemit every day with the posting key. Your password or key is prone to compromise the more you use it. Therefore, a limited posting key exists to restrict the damage that a compromised account key would cause.
Owner key -
The owner key is only meant to be used when necessary. It is the most powerful key since it can change any key of an account, including the owner key. Ideally, it is meant to be stored offline as I have, and only used to recover a compromised account.
Memo key -
This key is used to encrypt and decrypt memos when transferring funds. In order to encrypt a memo, you use the pound/# sign before it.

Active key -
The active key is meant for more sensitive tasks such as transferring of funds, powering up/down transactions, convertion of steem Dollars, voting for othees, updation of profile details and avatar, and placement of a market order.

Questions and answers session;

Have you retrieved all your keys on steemit?

Yes, I did. I did that after my account on steemit was created

Do you know each of the keys functions and restrictions?

Yes, I do. Posting keys for everyday log in, active key when necessary for making transfers, power-ups etc. Master password or owner key when changing the password. As i explained earlier

3.How do I plan to keep your master password?

A safe digital copy will suffice and maybe offline too in a safe document

4.Do you know how to transfer your Steem token to another Steem user account?

Yes, I do.

Log in to my wallet, then click on the transfer button which is to transfer funds to another user. The transfer for savings button is for personal transfer of funds to my safe

insert the receiver's username accurately to avoid wahala, put in my private active key and press send.

Do you know how to power up?

By Logging in to my wallet, clicking on the power up button or icon, inserting the amount I want to power up. By so doing, I automatically have powered up.

@crytokannon I hope I did Noble by answering the questions as I did. 😊
