Have you retrieved all your keys on steemit

All my steemit key(password) are fully retrieve and this was done by the guidance of my tutor, she told me the importance of steemit key and how to keep it safe, so after that I decided to save mine in my cloud and also lock my cloud with passcode, I also write it down in my jotter and keep in a safe place

Do you know the functions and restrictions of each key

Yes I have read and I totally understand the functions of each of the keys on steemit and there explained as follows

  • Master key
    This key is used to claim password on steemit which is very basic and essential to a new steemian and by this it means that if this key is stolen your wallet is at risks because it is one of the important keys

  • Private posting key
    This key is used on steemit platforms such as steemit community, posting etc we also make use of this key to upvote content that is creative and also to downvote plagiarized content

  • Owner key
    This key is often used to reset password by the owner of the steemit account, another important key that is required to be safe

  • Private active key
    This key is often used for activities such as powering down of steems, transfer of tokens and powering up of steems, it is a key that is mostly use in the steemit wallet and with it transaction is being completed.

  • Memo key
    The memo key is used for the transferring and also for decoding and decrypting of memo

How do you plan to keep your master password

My master password is very important I have locked it up on my phone's back up files and google account for safety
