in hive-172186 •  3 years ago 

Hello everyone

I’m here again to complete my second achievement of the @cryptokannon achievement tasks.


Have you retrieved all your keys in steemit?

Yes I did, I downloaded the generated Pdf after successfully creating my account and saved it in a place where only me can get access to it.


Do you know each of this keys functions and restrictions?

Yes I do, I read the Pdf carefully and seeks some advice from friends.

Posting keys


The posting key makes it easy and possible for us to edit post, post content, reply and comment on others post etc. using the posting key prevents fully compromised of one account.

Active Key


I he active key is used to control our wallet. It’s like a private key, it shows ownership of the wallet. It used for transferring funds, converting steem to steem dollars and vice versa, powering up and powering down, voting for witnesses etc.


Owner Key


This key is used to retrieve compromised account and can also be used to generate or change keys. It is also know as the power key and does same fun Pas the active key.


Memo Key


This key is used to create memos during funds transfer. It is also used for encrypting and decrypting memos.


How do you plan to keep your Master Password?

The master key is the secret of all the keys. It is needed for account recovery and when missing users can access their account again.

I have saved it in my private folder where only me have access to, and in my Gmail to get access to it at anytime.
