Achievement 2 ; Basic steemit security

Hi everyone

Security
I'm glad to submit my post for Achievement2 which is about Basic Security on Steemit.
Security is one thing everyone must be conscious of, either online or in real life situation. Security is one of the thing that must be carefully looked at when doing online transactions, and I'm glad steemit have placed more emphasis on that.

Yes I have those keys stored both online and offline in my personal diary. I'm very concious of where i keep them, because i know that if it is easily accessible,someone might tamper with my account. So i have decided to keep it where i am the only person that can retrieve.

Yes.... And I'm going to explain their functions and restrictions below.

Master key is very important. This key can be used to retrieve other keys.
The master key is often used in opening the account at first instance, and can be used for account recovery and should be kept safe.

𝙋𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙆𝙚𝙮
This key can be used for making post, vote, comments,resteem and for editing. This key should be known only to the owner of the account.

𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙆𝙚𝙮
This key is used in transferring funds, converting steem Powers and for power up. It should be kept safely.

𝙊𝙬𝙣𝙚𝙧 𝙆𝙚𝙮
This key is understood to be one of the most important key. The owner key can be used to change other keys, and hackers shouldn't have access to this particular key. It is advisable that this very key should be stored privately by the owner, and it should be offline.

𝙈𝙚𝙢𝙤 𝙆𝙚𝙮
This is for both encryption and decryption of memos. And it is mostly used for the transfer of funds by typing # before the message.

Master password is often regarded as the brain behind every steemit account.
Allowing someone who is not trustworthy have access to key can lead to the account being tampered with.
This key can be used in account recovery and i have intended to keep it safely offline.
