BASIC SECURITY ON STEEM
Before talking about security on steem firstly what does securing mean? To secure is to keep something in a safe state or free from potential danger.

The steem is fast becoming one of the most popular crypto currency out there. On the steemit platform instead of passwords, steem accounts have a set of keys that are used to control all activities involving an account. These set of keys are for personal use and are not meant to be shared with anyone. They perform different activities depending on level of security.

VARIOUS KEYS ON AN ACCOUNT
For your Tron account we have two main keys

1. TRON PUBLIC KEY: This is used for transfers, it is the address to which tokens are sent.
2. TRON PRIVATE KEY: This key has the highest authorization on your Tron account. It is used to approve transactions such as transferring, freezing and voting.
   There are also a number of keys known as the STEEMIT PRIVATE KEYS
3. PRIVATE POSTING KEY: used to login into steemit and perform social activities
4. PRIVATE ACTIVE KEY: used for monetary related actions on the steemit platform such as power up and transfers.
5. PRIVATE MEMO KEY: used to decrypt private transfer memos.
6. PRIVATE OWNER KEY: it is used to reset all other keys. It can be used to recover a steem account.

   MASTER PASSWORD: This is the most important and powerful of all. It can be used to recover an account.
