STEEMIT SECURITY

Security is a state of being safe and free from danger.

Whatever we call password/Key should be kept save and secure and that's even the first step that you would take when you register on ssteemit.

If there is not a proper security set up in our various platforms, then they we will be vulnerable to attacks, which might cause a form of destruction to our online platforms.

STEEMIT KEYS

A key can be referred to as an object or a code containing information used for gaining access past a security system.

In same manner the Steem keys are written information which can be referred to as a code written to give unlimited access to unlock an account and also to log into or gain access into a personal account.

Steem as a block chain has a set of public and private key pairs that used for authentication as wtell as encryption and decryption of data.

My steemit keys was sent and was downloaded and stored as a pdf file with a title suitable for access. It can be saved in an email for recovery when lost.

This is the Origin of every other key, it is from this key that every other key comes to be. It is seen as the mother of all the keys.
