      POSTING KEY

posting key is a primary key,which in other words not too relevant but it shouldn't be toiled with because is it quite important basic on it functionality, as a primary key not much are required from it in terms of higher level of security,and one cant get official permission to any operations that is linked to the token in your wallet.

The functions of posting key

*It is use to publish & edit a post or comment

*It is use for upvoting & downvoting

*mostly likely for resteem content

*It enables one to follow people

*will be use to mute accounts as well

       THE ACTIVE KEY

This key is basic,and most likely more advance in terms of the posting key above an should be kept safe because it has authority on details that links to financial aspect of your account, thus an individual need this key to access your wallet.

   The  functions of active key

.The can be used to transfer tokens

.This can also be used for power up & down of steem

.This can be use for editing your profile

.This can be used to Vote for witnesses in steem community

.It Create a new user in steemit

  OWNERS KEY 

This key serves almost as the masters and i would call it a secondary key ,but it not the masters key by any chance but can act as one in some minor cases,it is also powerful and very useful because it can be used to change any other keys on the account, including itself . You're advised to save this password offline and in any other Google account manager for safety just to avoid displacement, also external disk(memory cads) or flash drive are to be use in saving as well and we only uses it to recover a compromised account or stollen account.

The functions of owner key

.It is used to reset Owner, Active, and Posting keys

.It help in recover recovering your account and declining voting right

   MASTERS PASSWORD

This key is the almighty key that is the tertiary over all keys which is the most valuable access password you can't afford to misplace, it is used to unveil and unlock all keys on your account, even the owner key that was discussed earlier . and when you sign up for steemit it is the first password that will be given to you to login and access your wallet. This key can not be found when after you have access your wallet,nontheless but provides it been stored in a save place you cant be lose,but not a If your master password is exposed to any third party site or if someone sees it, they can steal your account and all of the finance and valuables in it. it is advice you save this password according to the saving suggestions specified for other keys and more above,if you eventually loss it you cannot recover it and thereby losing access to your steem account and wallet at large.

MEMO KEY

It is a secret keys and it one of the keys that are not frequently used in the steem ecosystem and blockchain atlarge for the mean time though has it importance values however it has some trategic values.

 The functions of memo keys

.This key is used to send an encrypted private message

.It is used as well to view an encrypted private message

SUMMARY

I strongly advise you save your master password properly etc, for it is the most powerful of all password.you can only login into your account using the key with the appropriate permissions for what you are doing. If logging in with your posting key, make sure you don't overwrite it. Do not disclose your password or keys with any third party site as mentioned above and the reason for all this emphasis is for the knowledge and consciousness of holding your key safe to stick in once mind to avoid tears ,except you are sure of that site, they phishing site that has been created to steal peoples credentials are all over the net thus one need to be very careful while using your keys, so take note of this, don't fall victim. Always remember, there is no way to recover your account if you lose your master password or owner key as well. If your account is stolen you can only recover its ownership and not the funds.
In other words i for sure i have expend the essential value of all this keys and i hope i have brought to your understanding the importance of this keys.
