Avhievement 2: Basic steemit security

in Newcomers' Community3 years ago

Hello everyone!
I hope you all are having a great day. Recently, my achievement 1 got veriferied and now I am moving onto achievement 2 which is about steemit's basic security. Steem it is a blockchain which provides people numerous opportunities to create content and also earn a lil on side but one has to be very careful about security. Steemit has made it quite easy for us as they provide us several keys for different purposes which reduce the chances of our account getting hacked. But one has to make sure that all his keys are written down at some safe place and nobody else should have access to them.
