This is great advice @onnovocks - thank you! I knew nothing about the posting key vs master/active key, I will look into it asap. Also I will check into "Powering up". Again, thank you.

There are 4 keys: Master, posting, active and memo. For most things you use the posting key and for transactions use your active key. Only use the master key to change passwords. If you lose the master, or if a hacker gets it, you lose control as the hacker can use it to change your passwords.
