POSTING KEY: it is defined to control the entering of a document.
First you have to login in your steemit account by using this posting key . After login you can make post , comment , upvote, downvote and edit . An active user can use this posting key everyday.
The posting key is the safest way to log into an account. It do not extend to the other person using it to functions that do not have access to the wallet
MEMO KEY:The main purpose of the Private Memo Key is to decrypting messages when transferring funds. The memo key should be kept in secret.

The owner key is the key with the most important key. It is the key required to change all the other keys. This key you have to be very careful, keep it in a very safe place to avoid being loss or theft. With this key your account can be completely taken over by a scammer.
