Achievement 2 @etieno Task: Basic Security on Steem
The post made by @cryptokannon on the basic security on steemit is very comprehensive and as a task, I'll write on this too.
Question 1
Have you retrieved all your keys on steemit?
Yes, I have done this.
Question 2
Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?
To safeguard and avoid compromise, each key is afforded more permission than the other.
- Private posting keys
It is used to create and make posts or comments, edit, vote, follow and mute other accounts. It has the least authority to perform functions.
Active key
This is used for everything that involves fund transactions, updating profile details etc.Owner key
This key is another powerful key that is best used when an account is compromised as it can change other keys and even change itself. Users should store this key offline.Memo keys
It is used to encrypt and decrypt memos when funds are being transferred.
Question 3
How do you plan to keep your master password?
I would have mentioned it here, but safeguarding my passwords start from now.
Question 4
Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another steem user account? </centre
The steps:
- Click on the wallet from the home page or login to steem wallet through www.steemitwallet.com/
OR
- Click on the icon that looks like an arrow pointed downwards under the first item "steem".
Choose transfer.
Finally, insert the receiver’s username and other useful pieces of information before clicking on send.
Question 5
Do you know how to power up your STEEM?
To Power Up, select power up on the options listed under “steem”.
Then, move on with the next instructions.
Special thanks to @ukpono for guiding me through this achievement task. I'm looking forward to completing the next.
