SteemIt Security Keys and Scam Alert - How to be Safe from Scammers - Condensed / Summary Version.

In my post: SteemIt Security Keys and Scam Alert - How to be Safe from Scammers.

https://steemit.com/steemit/@freedomshift/steemit-security-keys-and-scam-alert-how-to-be-safe-from-scammers

I described in detail about the security issues relating to:

master password
owner key
posting key
active key
memo key (not used ATM)

There are public keys that you will see after you logged in with your master password - the one given to you at the creation of your account.

These are the points for security to not suffer scams or attacks or losses:

keep your master password safe - see FAQ
keep your owner key safe - see FAQ
do NOT log in with your master password <<< My recommendation from reading about the scam alert
log in with your Private Posting Key only when you are posting or commenting
provide your Private Active Key only when you are transferring or trading (buy or sell) Steem or SBD

And obviously, keep all Private Keys safe as the Master Password and the Owner Key.

Great tips! I just wanted to add, that you shouldn't be powering up 100% on your payouts while the price of SBD is higher than $1. You are missing out on rewards :) You get paid out half of SBD and SP with the 50/50 option which you can then trade for SP!

@emmyem84 (54) - Day 28 for me, so, I still have a lot to learn. Thank you for your contributions to learning and growing here.
