Yes i have retrieved all my steemit it keys.

Question 2
Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?
Yes i am. As a matter of fact, i am very vast with them. I'll further explain to the best of my knowledge.

1. POSTING KEY:
   It can be used to login, comment, post, vote, edit, resteem, follow/unfollow other users.
   It cannot be used for tokens transactions, or recovery of lost account.
   It's solely used to permit social actions, and nothing else.

2. ACTIVE KEY:
   It is used for granting both social and token transaction permits, thusused to confirm important transactions on the steemit platform. Anyone with this key can steal your tokens.
   You can't use this key to process an account recovery action.

3. MEMO KEY:
   It's used for to encrypt and decrypt private messages that are sent through the blockchain, during token transfer from one account to another.

4. OWNER KEY:
   This key is used only when necessary, since it can be used to change any of the keys of an account (owner key inclusive).
   It can't be used to recover an account.

5. MASTER PASSWORD:
   It's used solely for the retrieving of lost a account, as such, should be saved offline as a hard copy, for security reasons.
