  Talking about security, what do we need to secure, 
 This leads us to the big five questions.

Yes I Know the functions of the keys and their restrictions.

★MASTER KEY: according to the name is the most lmportant key among all the keys it was the first key that I s obtained and was used to generate other keys.Even I noticed that my keys are being used by someone else I can use the massage key to generate new keys while rendering the old one useless.

★POSTING KEY:as the name implies is useful to post , comment, edit,vote and re-steem post

★MEMO KEY:memo key is used when transferring funds.It is also used to encrypt and decrypt the memos

★OWNER KEY:Is almost important as the master key ,it can be used to change any key of an account.it is also used to recover account that has been compromised,owner key can best be stored offline.

★4.DO YOU KNOW HOW TO TRANSFER YOUR STEEM TOKEN TO ANOTHER USER ACCOUNT?
I know how to transfer steem token to another user account,the first thing I do is to log into my steem wallet then I clicked on the black arrow and a page came out then I clicked on transfer and a dashboard came out where the name of the user which I wanted to make transfer to was typed in, then I clicked on next to continue,and the
last thing is to click okay to complete the transaction.

★5. YOU KNOW HOW TO POWER UP YOUR STEEM?**
