Hello everyone

Today I'll be discussing about the Steemit security system and how we can keep our Steemit account safe..

We all know that there are so many types of security system and the are protected with different types of keys such as face recognition, finger prints,key card etc

We also have different types of keys in the Steemit platform and I'll teach you more about the keys and how they can be used..

Types of Keys

Active key

This key is mostly used to confirm transaction or trades or change user settings.

Memo key

The memo Key is used for handling private messages and encrypted transaction.

Master password

The master key enables to retrieve all private keys of an account.

Posting key

This is the first and most used key type, it is used for posting, voting, and commenting.

Owner key

This key required to change all the other keys.This is the key that should be most carefully safeguarded against loss.

Ways we can protect our keys from being used.

  • Do not store your password online unencrypte

  • Encrypt your wallet and neverever forget your Password.

  • Remove all risky access from your system.

  • Keep your password hidden.

Just because the password is long it doesn’t mean you are safe.
If you believe somebody else is using your account, change your Password..
This is where I'll end

Today I'll also be teaching you how to transfer your Steem into someone else account.
In other to make transactions there are step's you should take. I'll show you the steps to take.
