Achievement 2 post by @forthelove15

in Newcomers' Community3 years ago

Actually, it's been a great pleasure to go through this course. I have always wondered how to keep my keys secured.
First I thought of saving them in my google account. Basic security on steem has taught me the way to go and therefore teaching me the various keys and their uses.
For achievement 2, the various questions were asked and the following are my submission.

Question 1
Have you retrieve all your keys on steemit?
Yes, I have retrieve all my keys and I they are secured. I actually saved them in a lot of places including my google drive and also written them in a safe place.

Question2
Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?
There are four different keys, and for each of them I know their functions and the use of each of them.

  1. Posting key - The posting key allows me to log into my accounts to post, comment, edit, vote, resteem, and follow or mute other accounts.
    I have actually learnt that I can have my password and key compromised the more I use it. And this can be refered to this "you are more likely to have your password or key compromised the more you use it so a limited posting key exists to restrict the damage that a compromised account key would cause".

  2. Active key - I have learnt that the active key is meant for more sensitive tasks such as transferring funds, power up/down transactions, converting steem dollars, voting for witnesses , updating profile details and avatar, and placing a market order.

  3. Owner key - I have learnt that the owner key is only meant for use when necessary. It is the most powerful key because it can change any key of an account, including the owner key. And I have also learnt that it is best you store this key offline.

  1. Memo key - I have learnt that the memo key is used for encrypting and decrypting memos when transferring funds.
    This key is used for encrypting and decrypting memos when transferring funds. And before decrypting a memo you have to use (pound/# )sign before it.

Question 3
How do you plan to keep your master password?
I have come to realize my master password is very important therefore I have decided to keep it somewhere safe in my safe box which has a lock.

Question 4
Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another steem user account?
Yes I know how to transfer my steem to another steem user account the steps are below.

Step one; Left Click on the avatar icon to show a drop down menu.

Step two; Click on wallet.

Step three; Click on the arrow pointed down on steem.

Step Four; in the menu that appears, type the username of the account you are transferring the steem token to.
