Question 1
Have you retrieve all your keys on steemit?
Yes, upon signing up with steemit, Tron account keys, steemit private keys, steemit public keys and a master password were provided on screen and in pdf form.
Question2
Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?
Yes.
There are two TRON Keys a Public Key and a Private Key.
The public key is used for the transfer of tokens. Tokens are sent to the public key.
The private key is used to sign TRON transactions, transferring tokens, freezing and voting.
Steemit Private Keys: Private Posting, Private Memo, Private Active and Provate Owner keys.
Steemit Private Posting Key is used to log into apps (i.e. steemit.com) and is used for posting, commenting and or voting.
Steemit Private Memo Key is for decrypting transfer memos.
Steemit Private Active Key is used for wallet actions like transferring tokens or power ups and downs.
Steemit Private Owner Key is for resetting all keys. It can be used within 30 days to recover the account if it is somehow compromised.
Steemit Public Key is associated with usernames and used to encrypt and verify messages.
The Master Password is the ‘seed’ that all the passwords are generated from. If someone gains access to this, they can have complete control of your account.
Question 3
How do you plan to keep your master password?
After signing up for steemit and receiving the keys, I moved the pdf to a thumb drive which is kept in a safe with other important digital documents. I do not have any passwords stored on my hard drive or in my smart phone. I used a pen and paper notebook for everyday account passwords but master passwords along with all others are store on a thumb drive and kept in a safe.
