Beloved Steemians.

I have been able to complete my Achievement 1 post and this is my Achievement 2 post which will center on steem security.

STEEMIT SECURITY

In order to avoid fraudsters on the internet world, we have to be security conscious and becoming security conscious has to do with safeguarding your Steemit keys and preventing invasion of privacy. In order to properly guard my keys, I have a hardcopy of my keys kept in a hidden place.

FUNCTIONS OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF KEYS IN STEEMIT

  1. Master password
    This key can be used to unlock every other keys and it should be secured properly if not when it is lost it cannot be retrieved.

  2. Private Owner key
    This key is very vital in such a way that it can be used to reset all passwords and it can be used to alter and recover accounts within 30 days if it is hacked.

  3. Private active key
    This key is used for all monetary transactions and the functions are transferring tokens, powering up and powering down, SBD conversion, etc. If this key is a token it can be used to make transactions from your steem wallet.

  4. Private memo key
    This key is used to send and receive encrypted private message and it is also decrypts message.

  5. Private posting key
    The function of this key is to access your account daily, commenting, editing, posting, up voting, down voting, resteeming, etc.

HOW TO TRANSFER YOUR STEEM TO ANOTHER STEEM USER
