SECURITY ON STEEM
Hello steemers, welcome to my Achievement 2 post. Am very happy to be in this platform. A big thank you to all who brought out their time to read , vote and comment on my Achievement 1 post, I am very grateful.
HOW CAN I SECURE MY ACCOUNT
Firstly, I took out time to read and understand how to keep my steemit account safe. After reading about all the keys and there functions, it gives me a clearer picture why I should be security conscious about my steemit account. I saved those keys in a place where only I can assess them, and I also write them out in my daily, in a manner that only I can understand it.
DO YOU RETRIEVE ALL YOUR KEYS ?
Yes I have a PDF of my steemit account keys. I have access to all of them.
DO YOU KNOW EACH OF THERE KEY FUNCTION
Yes I know the keys and the functions and also know how and when to use them.
- POSTING KEY
- MEMO KEY
- ACTIVE KEY
- OWNER KEY
This is a brief summary of the keys and there functions:
*POSTING KEY : This is the key you will use to log in to your steemit account, and you can also use this key to perform social actions such as Posting, Commenting, Editing your post and Voting .
*MEMO KEY : This key is used to decrypt private transfer memos. Which in another word say it's only used to send memos, and it's mostly used through programming.
*ACTIVE KEY : This key is used for monetary and wallet related actions, such as transferring tokens or powering STEEM up and down. its also used in Transfering and withdrawing funds. You can also use this key in convertion of STEEM dollars.
*OWNER KEY : This is the most important key which you can not give out to anyone, because if you lose this key you can not get it back. you automatically lose ur steemit account to someone. This key is used to reset all your other keys .
HOW DO YOU PLAN TO KEEP YOUR MASTER PASSWORD SAFE ?
The master password is the actual password that you get after signing up on steemit. This password generates the whole documents, which implies that this password will derive all the keys of your account including the owner key, so that's the more reason why you have to secure your password very well.
I have stored my master password in my Gmail and also in my phone where only I can access it. I also wrote it out in my diary.
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO TRANSFER YOUR STEEM TOKEN TO ANOTHER STEEM USER ACCOUNT

Firstly : Go to your wallet & double click
- Go to your Steem, click on transfer section.
- Fill the steam account name and Steem TOKEN to whom you want to send the token.

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO POWER UP YOUR STEEM
