Have you retrieved all your keys on steemit?
YES! My Steemit keys are retrieved and saved in my flash drive, my mail and i've also written them down in my diary.
Do you know the functions and restictions of this keys?
I sure do know the restrictions of my steemit keys and how to use each and every one of them.
Let me brief us on how the different steem keys works.
● Active Key: This key is mainly used for placing market irder, powering up, transfering tokens, updating prodiles, and also, we can use this key for converting steem dollars to steem.
● Posting Key: This key is an important key because its used to loggin our blog, and the posting key also use to post on our blog.
● Master Key: This is the most important steemit key, because with this key, we can gain access to all other keys, and that's why everyone is adviced to save this his or her master key in a safe and private place. Because if anyone should have your master key, they will have access to your money in your wallet. We can use the master key to transfer token to another wallet, login into our steem wallet, etc. It is the most important key on steemit.
● Owner Key: The owner's key can actually be used for recovering our steem account.
● Memo key: This key is used when transfering steem or sbd to another user. It has to do with the encryption and decryption.
How do you plan on keeping your master passward?
