Achievement 2 @heartsayings Task : Basic Security on Steem

Hi Steemians!
I hope you all are good
This post is about Basic Security on Steem
I have kept it as short as possible so do not worry and relax! 😊

Have you retrieve all your keys on steemit?

yes ! I have retrieved all my keys

What are these key functions and restrictions?



Posting key : This key allows you to post a comment, edit, vote,resteem (if you resteem any post it will appear on your profile's blog ), and follow or mute other accounts, by the way, you can follow me here @heartsayings

because you need this key every day to use on steemit, you can keep this key in your phone's note app, or WhatsApp yourself on your number (yeah you can do that) then you can access it at any desktop by logged in to WhatsApp.

The next key after posting key is

Active key: This key is useful for sensitive tasks like transferring funds, power up/down transactions (power up to others so they can earn money and you popularity), converting steem dollars(to steem coin), voting witness (curation reward). This key also helps in updating profile details and avatar( only in case "remember me" was not checked at the time of login then it will ask active key), placing a market order.

Owner key: This one is powerful it is useful to recover other keys, it can change any key of an account, including the owner key, it should be stored offline.

Memo key: This key is used to encrypting and decrypting memos when transferring funds. in order to encrypt a memo, use the pound/# sign before it

Master password (VERY IMPORTANT)

it is used to generate all the other keys, including the owner key (it is used for account recovery)

I have kept my master key written down on a paper safely offline which I would not like to tell also the keys pdf which was downloaded when signing in.
