Cyber crime is one of the most common crimes in the worth today following the rise of technology. As a steemian, I have to take caution too so as not to lose my membership, growth and account. So, I have taken the endeavor to learn about my keys and it's uses. They are;

Posting key - The posting key allows accounts to post, comment, edit, vote, resteem, and follow or mute other accounts.

Active key - The active key is meant for more sensitive tasks such as transferring funds, power up/down transactions, converting Steem Dollars, voting for witnesses, updating profile details and avatar, and placing a market order.

Owner key - The owner key is only meant for use when necessary. It is the most powerful key because it can change any key of an account, including the owner key. Ideally, it is meant to be stored offline, and only used to recover a compromised account.

Memo key - This key is used for encrypting and decrypting memos when transferring funds. In order to encrypt a memo, I should use the pound/# sign before it.
