Achievement post 2: security on steemit
Greetings dear steemians,I am glad that i am able to do achievement2 post in this community .
I have spent 4days revising and I am able to right down the following to my understanding of security/keys.
Every thing that has something to do with money has got passwords where the money is kept be it banks,safes and crypto platforms because passwords act as security hence if one is to get your password,they can take your money so that's why it's advisable to store the keys offline for security purposes.
On steemit we have the following keys/passwords and their functions;
The master password.
This is the password that is used to generate other keys.
Once one looses the master password,once they loose their account they cannot get it unless they put the master password.
It is the main password word that given after you have created an account.
Posting key
This is another important key key that does multiple functions.
The posting key is used in resteem a post,up vote or down vote someones post,edit a post or a comment, post on the steemit account.
This posting key mainly is used when posting and editing on the steemit platform.
Active key.
This one of the keys that one has to store carefully and in a secret place because it is used to perform very important functions on steemit.
The active key is used to transfer tokens/system,it is used to change sbd to steemit,used in carrying out an exchange and also to change /edit your profile.
Owner key
This key is used to recover your account.
It's also used to reset other keys such as active and posting keys.
Memo key
This key we use it to send encrypted messages or view encrypted messages.
Inconclusion
Keys are very important ndvwithoit them we cannot perform any thing on steemit therefore we should ensure to store our keys offline on the paper/document or a hard ware(external device) such as flash,laptop or desktop to be Safe.
Stay blessed
