Achievement 2@felichi Task: Basic security on steem
This post is to fulfil my achievement 2 task as directed by @cryptokannon together with other steem greeters @kiwiscanfly, as it is a prerequisite in the completion of other achievement.
Writing this simply means I have come in terms with the basic knowledge of how to use and protect my keys on steem.
Basically, after creating an account on steem, users have their keys which they must safe guard at all cost.

Here are the keys:
• Private posting keys: posting keys are used for;
Posting articles, commenting on a post, editing, voting, following and muting other accounts. It also serves to
restrict damage a compromised account could cause.
• Active key: this key is very important because of its sensitivity. It is used for everything fund transaction-converting
steem dollars, updating profile details and so on.
• Owner key: this is another important key that can only be used when necessary. This key should be stored online as
it can be used to change key of other accounts.
• Memo keys: it is used to encrypt and decrypt memos when funds are being transferred.
