Achievement 2: Basic Security on Steemit @aasifwani

Hello Steemians,

I am back with 2nd achievement and believe me completing this task is a huge learning process.

Source

As described by @cryptokannon this task has been designed to impart knowledge about basic security amongst newcomers on steemit and to give them the idea and understanding of wallet usage. In other words, we can say: this is a crash course for every newcomer, like me to get the safety valve activated.

5 different keys have to be pressed into use to perform different actions on steemit. In this task, I will not only help you to get a basic idea about security, but I will very much learn about it myself simultaneously.

So, let's tour together...

Question-01

Have you retrieved all your keys on steemit?

Of course, I have. Not only retrieved but I have skimmed through the pdf document -- that I downloaded at the time of landing at this platform -- to know about the usages of different keys.

Question 2

Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?
I can say, yes: With the help of This blog, I have got a better understanding.

Brief information about Keys and their usage:

Posting key - As the name suggests, this key enables us to post, vote, comment, edit, delete, view or mute other’s posts, explore communities, re-steem. Having to perform all these functions you are going to need this key on daily basis.

Active key- You will need this key to enter the sensitive chambers of financial transactions like converting Steem Dollars, transferring funds, power up/down, voting for witnesses, updating profile details and avatar, and placing a market order.

Memo key - the unique process of encrypting and decrypting memos during fund transfer, will not be possible without this key.
Note:- To encrypt a memo on the blockchain, a pound/# sign is to be used.

Owner key - Also known as private key: using this we can change other keys and secure compromised accounts. Hence this key is very important and needs to be guarded with a bit more caution.

Master key - Besides giving access to the wallet, this key can singularly generate all other keys: If the master key is compromised there is no fun in guarding other keys.
Losing the master key is losing the steemit id and once one loses the steemit id there is no way to get it back.

Question 3

How do you plan to keep your master password?

I have already mailed the pdf to my email address, saved it in my laptop's secret folder and also made the hard copy which is with my important documents.

Question 4

Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another user account?

It can be undertaken in 7 easy steps. The process is explained with the help of screengrabs:

Step 1 - Log in to your wallet by using the Active key for the password.

Step : 1
Click on your profile photo and once you see the options as shown below in Screen shot, click on Wallet.

Step: 2
Log into your wallet with the help of yohr username and posting key.

Step:3
After logging in, click on transfer

Step: 4
Enter the username of person to whom you want to transfer, then enter amount and click on, 'Next'. To confirm thr transaction you have to then click on, 'OK'. Make use of Active key to get through.

Do You Know How To Power Up Steem ?

Yes, lets power up togather with the help of screen grabs:
Follow the same process, like logging into wallet, then click on power up as shown below.

Enter the amount and click on 'Power Up'.

Guard your passkeys, learn and impart knowledge.
See you in another task.
