There is a complete process of doing it so let's break it down into little steps

  1. First thing first when you just made your account on steemit you receive some keys in your email in form of a pdf file. Save those keys at multiple places also print them out and lock them or keep them under your pillow whatever suits you. That's the crucial one.

    Active key
    Active key is used for more delicate tasks like transferring funds, converting dollars, placing market orders, etc.
    Owner key
    One should only use this key when necessary otherwise avoid using it because it has its power. Issa powerful key and by using it one can change all the other keys. One should save it offline and only use it when recovering a compromised account
    Memo key

    How to recover an account if you lose keys
    there's no way you can recover your account if you lose keys because it has real value and when it comes to real stuff mistakes like these can't be reversed so better not lose it under any circumstances.
