ACHIEVEMENT 2 BASIC SECURITY ON STEEMIT By @benez.png

basic security

Introduction Hi Steemians, it's my pleasure to use the achievement to talk to you guys on the basic security on Steemit involving having a broad knowledge on the different keys you previously downloaded in your pdf form while creating your Steemit account and thus know it's value and the need to secure these keys. The keys and their functions are as follows

The Master password:
it's the password that is gotten immediately after signing up for steemit account.
Posting key is a permission key just as the name implies,it allows the user to post,comment on a post and also follow other people on steemit.
The active key is also a permission key which performs functions such as transferring of funds,changing profile information, performing trades and also transactions etc. The active key can do everything on steemit account,but one thing it can't do is to change the owner key.
The owner key can perform all the tasks on steemit just like the active key. The owner key can even change the owner key itself. It is always good to keep the owner key secure by writing it down somewhere safe,where no one will see it, because if anyone gets it,he/she can perform anything on your account and call even steal all the steem in that account.
The memo key is used as a source of communication between steemians like private messaging. With this feature,one can easily encrypt and also decrypt private messages that will be sent and received.

The steemit wallet is used to transfer steem tokens.
I will explain the use of steemit wallet using pictures.

If you want to transfer funds
