Question Number 3

How do you store/ secure your keys.

When I was doing my achievement 2 I was enlightened about my keys safety.
I will secure my keys in my device my saving it ad draft in my email account, and also as a draft in my inbox not only that I also save it in cloud.
My keys are also save by writing it out into a 5 different paper and keeping it differently in the house one in my room another in order room I make sure I have a metal box to prevent it from damage easily or possible outbreaks i know the metal box will not be easily damage.
I do all this because I really went through the steemit term which says they are not responsible for lost password and once your password is gone the account is also gone.

What are the different forms of Private Key(Examples/Screenshot)?

We hav basically 3 forms of private key and there are.

mnemonic key
private key
store key file

MNEMONIC KEY
This is the simplest of all keys because this type of keys is readable and can memorize easily.
It is a 12-24 words that can be memorized and the are neatly arranged in rows and column
This type of key is found when tron link wallet is created.

PRIVATE KEY
The private key are key that has a mixed up of both the number alphabet and number and the letters will be both lower case and upper case.
This 2 things(numbers and alphabet) are fixed that it is not memorized. Here in steemit we make use of this type of key we have so many key in steemit that are like this such as the private posting key, private active key, master key etc.
KEY STORE FILE
This is the type of key that is not easily memorize or read, it is very complicated and scary, it is the hardest of all the keys.
This type of key has to do with the combination of 3 things which are the number,alphabet(upper and lower case) and symbols making it hard to memorize even to write it down is not advice due to rhe risk that you may miss one of the thing and you lose the account instantly.
It is the that exist in JSON file .
It is advisable to be save as draft due to how long it is.
