Hello Steemians/Steemit Community
Here I am going to explain about Achievement 2 task, in which I will talk about the most important security keys provided by steem to every new user.
Password is a word/digits used to gain access to information on computer system or network.it also protects these information from hackers or someone who wants to steal your private data or info.
When I first registered on the steem platform, I downloaded PDF/doc file, I checked there were many keys with different names, and each key contained different QR code and different password combination of digit and letters.
After going through them I knew the importance of all the keys.
Today I am using this opportunity to explain every key, and I am very thankful to @cryptokannon for given all the guidelines to newcomers and also @whitestallion for sharing the link to me,which assisted me in writing this post
