Have you retrieve your steemit keys

Yes, my steemit keys have been retrieve and once my keys were downloaded I save it in my email, I also send it to my goggle cloud account, I did this to be sure that no one can access the account and loot my funds

Yes I have carefully read the instructions and I fully understand the restrictions of of the steemit keys and there outlined below
The keys are listed below

master key, private posting key, owner key, private active key, memo key,

  • Master key

It can be used to produce my steemit password or key and it was the first keys that I encounter before I was able to download my key. It is one very important key that should be kept safe because with it you account keys can be gotten

  • Private posting key

It can be used to carry out steemit activities such as voting, posting and community, resteeming we even use it in muting

  • Owner key

This key is very unique because it is being used by the owner to reset all other keys on the steemit account and it is very important, because you can change your key when you feel it is not safe.

  • Private active key

This is mainly used for monetary transactions of carrying kinds e.g transfer of tokens, powering up and powering down of steem

  • Memo key

This can be used for memo transfer, decrypting and decoding of memo and it is always being asked before transferring steem
