To secure means to keep From harm, danger,attack etc, meaning that when useful files and documents or personal data are not secured with passcodes (keys) they can be trespassed or hijacked at anytime. Below are my answers in reference to Steemit Security related questions.

QUESTION 1 : Have you retrieved all your Steemit keys?

Yes i have done so, i retrieved 5 keys namely

  1. Posting key
  2. Memo key
  3. Active key
  4. Private Owner key
  5. Master password

These are none memorizable private keys base on it's lengthy formation and that requires proper safekeep for one's personal use.

QUESTION 2 : Do you know each of this key function
and restrictions?

I know the functions of those keys, @Misterfab aquented me with how these keys carry out their functions.

POSTING KEY


This key is used to log in into the Steemit platform,is also play a second social function role of helping you to comment,vote, post in Steemit.

MEMO KEY


When moving Funds , you can use this key to encrypt or decrypt Memos.

ACTIVE KEY

This key performs a monetary function and it is used to transfer token from one user to the other.It is equally used to Power up and Power down steem.

PRIVATE OWNER KEY


It is used for resetting other keys that you have and it is also a key used to restore an account if it is compromised. So with this key a compromised account can be brought back to normal.

MASTER PASSWORD


As the name implies,it has authority over other password,, it is a host to other keys and you can integrate passwords in it for easy access.
MORE to that ,if a user loss an account, this key is only the recovery live line for it and without this Master password such account can't be recovered again.

QUESTION 3 : How do you plan to keep your Master password?


Well, to keep this password safe, i secured it in a hidden file in my Google Drive and even locked the folder with a PIN to secure it.
Secondly i save it on storage cloud to secure it. Because of how important this Master password is,i sketched those plans for it.

QUESTION 4 : Do you know how to transfer your Steem token to another Steem user account?

Yes i know .
To transfer my token to another Steemit user account i will Visit my Profile page then click on my wallet using my Active key.
Once it opens i will click on Steem then click on transfer followed by the username of the receiving end.I also need to type the username correctly less the token goes to someone else account
Lastly i will input the amount of steem i want to transfer to the person then proceed the transfer.
Below are screenshots that explains the whole procedures.
