Achievement2 @wander98 Task: Basic Security on Steem

in hive-172186 •  4 years ago  (edited)

Greetings everyone!
Today I am compiling my task for achievement 2,"Basic Security on Steem"
This task is really essential as in this digital era to be safe and secure is one of the most fundamental thing.
I personally believe that Steemit platform assigning of this task is really thoughtful along with the Steemit 's strong security key system.
Lets get started.

Have you retrieve all your keys on Steemit?

Yes, as per the guidelines I have stored digital copy of keys in external hard drive, google drive and over my devices. I have also stored printed copy of all keys at safe place.

Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?

Yes, Kudos to the Steemit for briefing about each key so well. Al the keys are important. I have listed all about the keys below.

Posting key
Its the most basic key for user to login, hence it can be considered as login credential. Posting key is required for any sort of activity user wishes to perform which includes post, comment, edit, vote, resteem, and follow or mute other accounts . Restriction occurs because password or key may be compromised the more you use the key. Therefore, a limited posting key exists to restrict the damage that a compromised account key would cause.

Active key
Furnished for sensitive activities spanning from transferring funds, power up/down transactions, converting Steem Dollars, voting for witnesses, updating profile details and avatar, to placing a market order.

Owner key
Termed as the most powerful key because this key posses the power to modify/change any key of your account, including itself(owner key). Avoid unnecessary usage of the owner key. It is recommended to be stored offline. Remember to utilize this key only to recover a compromised account.

Memo key
Main purpose of the memo key is encryption and decryption memos at the time of transferring funds. You cam encrypt a memo, by using the pound/# sign before it.

How do you plan to keep your master password?

I have intended to keep my master password in google drive and external hard drive alongside a safe and secure place.

Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another steem user account?

Yes, I have figured out the steps required for performing this transfer. Firstly, go click on your profile 's steemit wallet. Then under steem press on drop down arrow and click on "Transfer".

The transfer button will prompt a new screen where you have to enter username of another Steemit account and the amount you wish to transfer.

Do you know how to power up your STEEM?

I have learnt how to power up steem by my friend @areebabaig.Thanks for the guidance.
To power up go in your wallet, go under "steem dollar" tab ,click on drop down arrow and select market.

Then, click on "BUY STEEM "and enter the amount of steem dollars you want to exchange for steem and confirm by clicking on "BUY STEEM" .After a series of click and some time you would be redirected to market with a notification "ORDER PLACED".

Now all you have to do is go to wallet after order completion, click on drag down arrow below "STEEM" tab and click on "Powerup". Hurray! Finally, you have powered up.
