Security System on Steemit

It is very necessary for newbies and other steemers to know the importance of knowing the security system and how it works.

Question 1

Have i retrieve all my keys on steemit

Yes, I have retrieved all my keys on Steemit and I've also saved them in my personal computer and also saved them in my google cloud and also in my personal diary.

Question 2

How can I keep my Steemit account secure?

Save your master key and keep it somewhere safe, you can write them out on your dairy or backup your keys on your google cloud or icloud. Be mindful of any other persons claiming to keep your keys safe. They may not be safe and could even have vicious intentions.

Question 3

You see Keys in your account whenever you login or you have been hearing about keys, and you ask your self what are these keys? What are they use for?

Steem has five different types of keys/password and each of them are associated with an account. These keys are Owner, Posting, Active, Memo & Signing keys. Each of them has its functions and limits. Posting, Active and Memo keys all have a private key that you can view on steemit. Your private owner key is the key/password you use to login into your account. It is not wise for you to share it with someone else. Each key has a unique function they perform.

Owner key

It is a very important key apart from your master password. You have full control over your steem account. The user is allowed to everything a posting key can do. Such as to post, comment vote and to follow others.
With the Owner Key you can transfer any funds in your Account, Vote for Steem Witnesses, and granted full permission to change all keys, this includes the Owner Key itself. This makes the Owner Key as important so keeping it safe is very necessary, because if someone gain full control of your account, meaning that they can change everything in your account & restrict you from accessing your funds.

Posting key

The posting key allows accounts to post, comment, vote, and follow other accounts.
users can make write out post & comments via their Steemit user profile, while upvoting and follower other interesting Users. The Posting Key will restrict third parties from moving any funds from your Account such as moving any assets from your wallet or engaging in internal Market to trade.

Active key

The Active Key can perform almost all functions that the Owner Key can do with the account except for changing the Owner Key itself. However users change all other keys on an account, with the active key and it also can do everything Posting key is set to do
User can also transfer, trade the internal Market, move & control Funds and Vote for Witnesses.

Memo key

The memo key is the only key is specifically used for Private Messaging, used to encrypt and decrypt private messages sent & received via your Steemit account.
