Hello everyone!

I have completed Achievement Number One task. And I was waiting to post my achievement 2 on this community.

Before explaining everything I have to inform you that my print screen option in my laptop is not working so I have attached photos taken from my mobile. You can see my details are clearly seen in the photos.

As we know that there are some basic security keys which are very helpful to us. These keys help us to keep our account secure.

Here are my answers for the questions.

Have you retrieved all your keys on steemit?

Yes I've retrieved all my steemit keys. At the moment I created the account on Steemit and logged in for the first time, I saw that I have the possibility to download all keys in PDF form and I downloaded the PDF document of steemit keys. I have saved it in my computer and Google drive. It's easy for me to access them from any place.

Do you know each of these keys functions and restrictions?

Yes, I know about all the restrictions and keys functions.

Owner key
Active key
posting key
Memo key
master password

Here are the functions and restrictions of keys.

Owner key:-

It is the key with the highest authorization level. This key can change all the other keys of the account. This key is not directly visible on the steemit.com website but it can be derived from the master password.

Active key:-

This key is used to change the user settings and mainly used to confirm transaction and trades such as transferring funds, power up/down transactions, converting steem dollars into dollars, transferring steems, and also for profile settings.

Posting key:-

This key is used to login to our account on steemit. It is the most commonly used key. It's mean we can up vote and down vote, edit, post, comment, like, mute and follow other accounts on steemit.
It is the safest way to log into an account by using the posting key.

Memo key:-

This key is used for encrypted transaction memos and also used for handling private messages.

Master password: This is pre-owned to acquire all keys above. To retrieve all private keys of an account you need to have the master password.

How do you plan to keep your master password?

If we lose our master password we definitely lose our account and also all the achievement we made.
So, it is very important to save the master password. My master password is saved in my Google drive and my laptop.

Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another steem user account?

First of all Login to your acount by using active key and go to wallet. Enter the steem username whom you want to pass steem.
In wallet go to balance option and click the drop down list in the corner.

After putting the data click “next”. As you can see I've no fund in my wallet to send that’s why I can’t press the next button. After clicking the next button a new window will appear and then click on the ok button. In this way we can easily transfer steem token to another steem user account.

Do you know how to power up your steem?

In the balance tab of wallet we can choose steem from drop down list. In the corner new window will appear then we have to select power up from the list.
