The Different Basic Key Functions.
Being on steemit has taught me how to be curious and also made me leran what the different keys are made for.

Private Posting Key

This is the pan ultimate key . it can perform virtually all activities on steemit like making posts, editing post, making downvotes and up votes restemming contents and so on.

Private Owner key
To my knowledge this key can be used to reset any of the steemit keys including the owner key.it is also used to recover accounts,decline voting right.

Private Active key
This key is a very important key .it can be used for activities like transferring funds, power up transactions, updating profiles, Certain profile changes, voting for witness and many other important transactions.

Private Memo Key
This key is used for sending /viewing encrypted messages.
Have I Retrieved All My Keys On Steemit?
Yes, this is the first step that needs to be taken when you sign up on steemit.This platform form makes it easier for you to access your keys my helping you compile it into a pdf document, what you just have to do is to download it and you have all your keys at your very own disposal.To retrive your keys, you just go the permission tab inside your steem wallet where posting keys will be shown to you with a link that gives you access to the rest of your private keys.

How Do I Plan To Keep My Master Password Safe
To be very security minded and adherent,I printed out the pdf document sent to me and kept it in a place where my important documents are stored and I also backed it up on my google cloud.

How To Transfer My Steem Token To Another Steem User
