Q#1: Have you retrieved all your keys on steemit?

Yes, on the first day I created my steemit account and I received all my keys. Firstly I downloaded PDF and took a print out of it and kept safely with my other essential documents. But I did not save them in online drives because a third party can access it by any chance.

Q#2: Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?

Yes, I do. I went through several articles and got my knowledge on functions of each key used in steemit. For example I used Keys & Permissions page in steemwallet.com , "Steem Basics: Understanding Private Keys" post by @Steemitblog and other verified achievement 2 posts that are published by other newcomers.
