Have you retrived all your Steemit Keys?

Yes! I've obtained and successfully saved all my steemit keys.

Do you know about all its functions and restrictions?

We have four important steemit keys namely; Posting Key, Memo key, Active Key, Owner Key.

Posting key : As the name implies, the posting key enables users to perform social actions like posting, commenting, and voting. It can also be used to silence or follow different users.

Active Key : This sensitive key is used to transfer token, funds and wallet related actions (power up, power down, steem transfer, etc are all carried out using the active key). For account security, the active key should not be shared with a third party.

Owner Key : This is another essential key that should be protected at all cost, as it oversees the account action of a user and can be used to resset all other keys.

Memo Key : It is used to decrypt transfer messages.

In summary, the posting key is for social action, the active and owner keys are quite essential and should not be disclosed.

How do you plan to keep your password?

Knowing fully well that these keys are fundamental part of steemit operating system and loosing them will amount to a lost account, I've successfully saved my keys to a Pdf file and a google drive in event of a misplaced device.

Do you know how to share a token with another user account?

Yes! The process involves:
Step 1: from my steem account, I'll click on wallet, login my username and password, then click on the transfer option after clicking on the green coloured "STEEM"

Step 2 : Enter the username of the person im transferring to.

Step 3 : I verify the transaction and press "Okay".

Do you know how to perform the process of turning on power up in steem?

Yes. First, i enter my steemit account, log in to my Wallet, click on the green coloured "STEEM" and press the "Power up" icon.

Next,

Finally, i confirm my transaction and click on "Ok"

Thank you!
