Good day Steemit Community!

My account and my Achievement 1 post had been verified for the passed days so today I want to proceed to the next level. I first asked ate @liamnov on what I was required to write for achievement 2. And it is about the Basic Security on Steem and I am going to talk about it. All questions about, What are the Steemit Account Keys? How to use the different keys? How to transfer steem token?How to power up steempower? What to do to keep your password safe? These questions will be answered.

By clicking on the wallet after reading through, I was able to gain access to all of my keys. I was redirected to the steem wallet in a new tab, and I clicked on the Keys and Permission tab to access my Keys.
