I have read and understood the basic security measures on steem that has to do with keeping the computer generated keys that are given once a user's account is created and protecting them from third parties thanks to the article by @cryptokannon and @focus now for mentoring me.

Steem Keys


Private posting keys for publishing, editing, resteeming, upvoting or downvoting, following, unfollowing and muting accounts.

Private active keys are for steem conversation, transfering tokens or funds, voting, powering steems, placing orders, profile changes, creating a new user into the blockchain.

Private memo keys are for sending an encrypted message, viewing an encrypted message

Private owner keys are for resetting all other keys, declining vote rights, recovering accounts
