Welcome to Steemit
Don't forget to read up on "keys" & passwords.
Basically don't log in with your "master key"
Use your private posting key.
TL;DR: You should have ALREADY saved your PASSWORD that was used to generate your keys
Next go to Profile >Wallet > Permissions and copy paste all FIVE keys to a safe place. (eg a text file on a memory stick)
The “OWNER” key is the ‘master key’, keep it VERY safe
Daily logins for posting should use your Private POSTING key.
Once you have copies saved, log out and log back in with USERNAME & your POSTING key
Hope that helps some.

I concur. People have fallen for a lot of scams lately too. If you ever get promoted to login with your master key, double and triple check to make sure you are in the right place and still actually on steemit.com. One scam was steemlt.com as an example. People were falling for it too easily.

Tried to log in with post key and it was not allowed. It demanded the private key. I am a little bit confused now.
