Greetings to all. I finished my first Achievement post a week ago, but owing to a lack of time, I have yet to write the next one. However, I am overjoyed to be able to publish my Achievement 2 post today.
My keys' security is extremely crucial to me.
This Achievement 2 article has alleviated my concerns about losing my Steemit account.
OBJECTIVES OF THIS TASK: is for,
-New users to understand the basics of steem security, such as how master passwords operate and how to distinguish between the use of their account posting key, active key, private owner key, and memo key.
-New users are to be familiar with how to use their steemit wallet.
*What steps can I take to keep my Steem account safe?
-Save your master password in a secure location.
-Only use the key that has the required permissions for what you're doing to log into your account
-For everyday logins, I'm posting a key.
When necessary for transfers, power-ups, and other purposes, press the active key.
When changing the password, use the master password or the owner key.
-Save your master password and keep it safe once again! If you're using your post key to log in, make sure you don't forget or rewrite your master password.
-Sharing your password or keys with a third-party site is not encouraged. Steemit Inc. is working on a login app that will work with third-party Steem front ends.
Save your master password and keep it safe once again! If you're using your post key to log in, make sure you don't forget or rewrite your master password.

*Why should I use caution when it comes to my master password?
All keys for your account, including the owner key, are derived from the master password. Your account and all of the tokens in it can be stolen if someone knows your master password.
Regarding my answer to the questions:
QUESTION 1
Yes. I've found all of my keys. The master password, the posting key, the active key, and the memo key are all used together.
QUESTION 2
The functions are the keys. Each key serves a certain purpose. I'll make a list of them here.
•PASSWORD FOR THE MASTER
This is used to make the rest of the keys.
It's also used to alter posting keys, active keys, and owners keys, among other things.
•THE KEY TO POSTING
The Posting key is used to log into the account on a regular basis.
It allows users to post, comment, vote, and rate.
•KEY THAT IS ACTIVE
This key is used for extremely sensitive tasks such as turning on and off computers, transferring payments, and voting for witnesses.
•KEY OF THE OWNER
The owner is rarely mentioned, yet its significance cannot be overstated.
It can be used to restore access to a hacked account.
•MEMORY CARD
This key is mostly used to encrypt and decrypt memos during fund transfers.
QUESTION 3
I think saving it offline is the best for now
QUESTION 4
Yes, I can send Steem to another person from my account.
QUESTION 5
I have learnt how to power up.To power up means to convert steem to steem power.
CONCLUSION
I've always been aware of the importance of keeping my keys secure, as well as the functions of each key.
I've also learned how to power up and transfer Steem. Which I suggest every steem member should also learn for a better knowledge of the STEEMIT platform......
Remain bless all.
