Hello my fellow Steemian, I am glad to share some more ideas with you again. I want to say thank you to all the Steemians who commented as well as corrected my Achievement 1. Thank you @inspiracion for verifying my Achievement 1 which enables me to progress to this Achievement 2.
How to Protect my Steemit Acccount.
Steemit has taken the issue of security very seriously. That is the reason they generate secret keys for each user at the point of registration, and warned it users never to be careless with their four keys.
Besides, there are four different keys issued to a single individual which are meant for different activities and transactions within the platform.
They are:
- Private Posting Key
- Private Memo Key
- Private Active Key
- Private Owner Key
I protect my Steemit account with all jealousy by first passwording my
smartphone.
Storing all my keys both on my phone and Google drive should incase my phone get lost or damaged. I do not use other people's phone to login to my Steemit account.
Have you retrieved all your keys on Steemit?
Yes I have retrieved all my keys in a PDF file and have stored it in some save place.
Do you know each of these key Functions and Restrictions?
