in Newcomers' Community3 years ago

Hello everyone!

I hope you all are having an excellent day. Recently, my achievement 1 got verified and now I'm moving onto achievement 2 which is about steemit's basic security. Steemit is a blockchain that provides people numerous opportunities to create content and earn a Lil on the side, but one must be very careful about security. Steemit has made it quite easy for us as they provide us several keys for different purposes, reducing the chances of our account getting hacked. But one has got to confirm that each one his keys are written down at some safe place and no-one else should have access to them.

Question1

Have you retrieved all your keys on Steemit?

Yes, I retrieve all of my keys after making an account on Steemit. These retrieve keys are saved on my laptop in PDF file format.

Question2

Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?

1. Posting Key:
Posting keys is the most widely used key. Posting key is mainly used for Posting, Following, reply and edit posts/comments. These keys are also used to logging into the Steemit account for posting purposes.

2. Memo Key:
Memo key is used for encryption and decryption of blockchain messages for transfer funds.

3. Active Key:
Active keys is used for more sensitive tasks like transferring funds, convert steem into dollars, powering up/down, and voting for witnesses.

4. Owner Key:
This key can be used to recover any key of an account if you lost that key. This why it is a very important key. This key must be stored offline at a safe place due to its key feature.

5. Master Key:
Master key is considered to be the mother of all keys. Master key allows getting hold of your account and other keys.
