What is security

Security is the act or a process of keeping an item safe from other people accessing it. The item can either be keep in a vault or a safe with a special key that only the owner can access it.

have you retrieve all your keys on steemit?

The keys was given to me as soon as I signed up in steemit platform. The kes are as follows

• Masster password key
• Posting key
• Owner key
• Memo key
• Active key

Do you know each of the key function and restrictions?

Yes, I know there functions and restrictions. They are as follows.

Master password: This the most important key among all the keys. It is used to generate all other keys incase anything happens to your device. This key needs to keep safe because if someone has access to it, he may stole all the money in your wallet.

Posting key: just as the name implies, posting key enables you to post, comment, edit, vote an re-steem post. You can also use posting key to follow or mute another person's account.

Active key Active key is mostly used for transferring your steem token to another user account. It's used for power up and power down. It is also used for voting.

Owner key: this key is very essential, it's good to store it offline because it can change any key of an account. It is used to recover a compromised account.

Memo key: When trasnferring funds, you use memo key to encrypt and decrypt the memos.

How do you plan to keep your master password?

I will back it up with my email.

Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another user account?

I know how to do it. First of all, I will log into my sttemit wallet. Behind my liquid steem, I will click on that black arrow. Once I click there, a page comes out, I will click on transfer. Once I clicked on transfer, a dashboard will come out where I will put in the name of the user I want to transfer steem to,then put the amount of the steem I want to transfer. After that, I will click on next to confirm. Lastly, I will click OK. Once I clicked OK, transfer is done. Below is my screenshot.
