Hello my fellow steemians,
Is a privilege to be here,how are you guy, hope all is well with you,please join me as we venture into the uses of all the keys that was shortlisted before we signed up on steemit.

DIFFERENT STEEMIT KEYS AND THEIR FUNCTION'S

THE MASTER PASSWORD
This key is the password with a veto power on its user's account in that with it the user's will be able to carry out all manner of activities such as generation of all other keys thus this key should be handle with utmost care because if it gets into the wrong hands the user's will no longer have access to his/her account where by losing everything he/she have acquired

THE OWNER KEY
This key is the most powerful key because with the key one will be able to transform any key in an account.
Its also used to recover a compromised account.

This is a key which is used in transaction processes like...

. Transfer of funds
. placing market order.

After these processes have been completed, a message would be sent to you confirming the number of steem that have been powered up.

Note; consider the red marker for proper understanding

CONCLUSION

After going through everything, I came to realize that a lost of any of the keys, especially the owner key and master key, the account itself is as good as useless.

So, in any case all the keys are found wanting (lost) the account itself is useless.

Therefore, it becomes of utmost importance you prioritize the safety of your keys or password so that your account can be secured.
I recommend that the keys/passwords be saved in the email and also in an SD card where you can easily assess them.
