Hello everyone, welcome to my blog. I want to tell you about steemit keys and their uses.
I have been here for a while now, and I've learnt about the use of my Keys or password.

2 weeks ago when I joined, I was told to download a document containing my keys details and importance, I downloaded the document and made an hardcopy of it and at the same time, I kept the soft copy on my removable flash drive for proper security. Knowing how important the keys are, I decided to also keep it to myself alone and not share with any site whatsoever.

Question 1
Have you retrieved all your keys on steemit?

Yes, I have done that.

Question 2
Do you know each of these keys functions and restrictions?

I have read all about the keys, let me briefly take you through the keys overview.

Keys and their uses

Posting key : this key is used for our everyday activity on steemit, activities like; posting, re steeming, upvote, downvote and comments. It is also prone to getting compromised due to it regular use.

Active key: this key is used for transactions, such as transferring steem and also convertion of SBD into steem and also tasks like powering down and powering up.

Owner key: this is a very important key, that should be treated with high-level of security. This key can change and reset any key including including the owner key itself , it can also be used to recover steemit account in a situation whereby the account gets compromised (within 30 day)

Master key: this is regarded the most important key, like the name implies master key, it should never be shared with a third partner, it can be used to take over account if leaked.

Question 3
How do you plan to keep your master key?

I have saved in different ways, in both hardcopy and softcopy.

Question 4
Do you know how to transfer steem token to another steemit user account?

Yes, I do.
Let me take you through
