But thanks to @reminiscence01 for the guide, here is my submission for the achievement task 2.

Question 1
Have you retrieve all your keys on steemit?

Actually, I have done all this since January, this is one of the reasons why it pain me when I was redirected here for the completion of the tasks.

Immediately I signed up for my Steem account, my brother that introduced steemit to me said I should download the Steem keys and strictly save the PDF file in which I did, he also advised me to save the PDF on my mails for easy access incase I lost the PDF I downloaded.
So, I have retrieved all my steemit keys

Question2
Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?

Yeah, I know each key functions and restrictions.

My account posting key: This key is used when it comes to performing activities like posting blogs, upvoting & downvoting, editing posted blog or blog comment, following and unfollowing steemit users and resteeming blog posts

My active key: Though all key are special and they all need security but my active key is more special to me because it is used whenever I want to perform monetary transactions.
It's used to transfer Steem and SBD (Steem tokens), its used on Steem market for buying and selling, it's used for witness voting and also we use the active key steem power up and power down, we use it for delegation as well etc.

My private owner key: This key is used to rest all other keys, be it the memo key, the posting key and others. It's always advisable that we keep it offline all time.

My memo key: This key is used for memo decryption and encryption. I.e viewing coded memos and sending memos codedly.

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

I planned how I'm saving my key the first day I know the importance of those keys. Infact, they are special so I need to keep them in a special way. Most especially the master password.

Below are the steps I used, I'm sure it will help someone here:
