Achievement 2 @raniem Task: Basic Security on Steem.

in hive-172186 •  3 years ago 

I wish to complete this task by providing answers to the set of defined questions provided.

Question 1
Have you retrieved all your keys on Steemit?
Yes I have. I retrieved them via download in PDF format, and also did a copy and paste of each individual key.

Question 2
Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?.
Yes I do. The functionalities and restrictions of each key are spelt out briefly below.

Master password: This happens to be most important, and should never be disclosed. In the hands of the rightful account owner the Master Password (or Owner Key), can always be used to change all the other keys and regain total control over a lost account.

Owner Key.
The Owner Key comes next after the master password in importance. This key could be used for posting, voting, commenting, and changing the actual keys for your account. The only thing this key can't do is deal with creating memos sometimes used when transferring from your wallet on Steemit.

Posting Key.
This key allows you to post, comment, vote and follow other users. The posting key could safely be shared as it doesn't pose any security threat by allowing for changes to your account.

Active Key. The active has quite a number of functionalities including posting, voting, commenting, trading on the internal market, voting for witnesses, as well as transferring money from your account. This offers the user access to everything except changing the owner key.

Memo Key.
The Memo Key is used handling private messages. This isn't used a ton right now as we don't yet have encrypted private messaging.

Question 3.
How do you plan to keep your master password?
Undisclosed to anyone.

Question 4.
Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another steem user account?

Yes.
First you go to your Steemit wallet and input your posting key. Then go to the steem section and click the pop-down menu.

Select the transfer option and input the necessary details, which includes the username of the receiving account and the amount to transfer. Select next and click OK to confirm the vesting transfer. Input your active key and click sign up. To check the transfer history go to the history section in the wallet.

Question 5.
Do you know how to power up your STEEM?.
Yes, I do. I have gone through the steps in the guide given upon my sign up to Steemit.
