Have a blessed day for each and everyone here in the steemit world. . Today I want to discuss Basic security on Steem. Even though I was a newbie I need to learn more about steemit and understand their basic security by researching or reading some posts in the newcomer's community and I need to understand what should I do to make my account safe.
I need to understand what are the keys that are commonly used in steemit? How I keep my password safe. How to increase your steem power. How to transfer your steem to another steem wallet.
There are different types of Steemit Keys
PRIVATE MASTER KEY - is used to generate a password when you lost or forgot your private keys. It will restore your keys in steemit. You can use this to open your account in steemit when you lost your private keys. It is important to keep this safe and secure.
PRIVATE POSTING KEY. This is usually used to login into your steemit account. It will authorize you to make an upvote to another steemit user. You can also make comments in their post. You can also resteem their posts.
PRIVATE OWNER KEY - this key is used to reset all your keys in steemit. It is mainly used to recover your account if the owner of the account will change their keys when their account was compromised. It is recommended to keep this password safe offline.
PRIVATE ACTIVE KEY is a key that is used in transferring our earnings to another steemit account. Also, it is used in powering up our steempower and power down.
PRIVATE MEMO KEY - this key is decrypted private memo when transferring funds especially on SBD withdrawal on your steemit account
Now, this steemit platform introduces the new steemit keys inTron account this public and Private Key.
TRON PRIVATE KEY is a key that has been allowed in your Tron account. This is used in signing transactions such as transferring tokens, freezing, and voting.
How to keep your password safe?
In my own opinion. Password must be saved offline like you will write the password on a piece of paper and put it into your wallet or in a safety box. You must also keep your password in the messenger. Or we must print in a hard copy and put it in a folder or envelope.
How to increase your steempower?
I must increase my steempower by creating quality content in my post. If I have sufficient money I will buy a steem to convert into steem power through powered up. I will show you step by step how to power up my steem to steempower
- We must check if I have an available balance in my steem wallet. Click the arrow beside your available steem balance and select power-up.
- Enter the specific amount of steem you want to convert into steem power. Then click the "power-up" button.
- You need to confirm the transfer
- You must Sign in again to complete the transfer of your steem to steempower. You must enter your active key password in this transaction. Then click the "sign-in" button.
