Why do I say so?
Achievement 2 enables you know how important it is to secure your account,

My account is one of the things that guarantees my relevance here on STEEMIT and that is where my efforts are been recorded, so any attempt or mistake of disclosing or loosing any of the keys especially my master password or owner key is totally detrimental to my account and it makes my efforts worthless.

I have gotten my keys with the help of my mentor @focusnow who took his time to educate us in how to get our keys and also their uses and I was also able to copy them to my memo for easy access.

I want to highlight the uses if these keys in the different areas they are needed and that will enable me provide answers tho the questions listed by the mentor @cryptokannon.

Question 1
Have you retrieved all your keys in STEEMIT?

Yes I have retrieved all my keys with the help of @dlioness that moment after my account was created.

Question 2
Do you know each of these keys functions and restrictions?

So money can not be loosed if someone else gets access to this key. But that does not mean you should not keep it safe.

Question 4

Do you know how to transfer your steam token to another Steen user's account?
