Achievement 2 @itysamj ||Basic security on Steemit|| mentorship by

Hello Everyone, I'm glad to meet you once again in this community In order for me to complete my achievement2 task, of which I learnt a lot things concerning security and how to manage my wallet account.
Here's the summary of what I learnt today

WHAT IS SECURITY

"The state of being free from danger or threat" is known as Security. And with this definition, I will say that in steem, there's basic security on Steem refers to areas in which I can protect my account as a newbies in order for My account to be free and protected against the hands of fraudster (hackers)

HAVE YOU RETRIEVED ALL YOUR KEYS ON STEEMIT?

From the question ❓❓❓ above, I wilfully answer 'Yes I did', I've saved all my steemit keys.
Because upon my registration, immediately i signed up, i was provided with my

master password which i used and went to my steemit.com wallet and retrieved (download) all my keys.

DO YOU KNOW EACH OF THESE KEY FUNCTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

I answer affirmatively..... 'YES'.

Here's the summary on how I understand this keys and their functions.....

1. Master password - Master password is the password you get upon signing up and If I will like to generate all other keys on Steemit, I'll usemaster password. After that, it is stored in a safe place that I should only be used when I'm going through my account recovery.

2. Posting key - Through this achievement, I learned that 'Posting key is used to publish a post or comment, edit a post or comment, upvote or downvote, reteem content, follow people, mute accounts'. Also, to login to steem account More often, posting key is more preferable. i.e, posting key is my login password not master password.

3. Active key - 'To transfer tokens, power steem up or down, convert steem dollars, vote for witnesses, place an order or an exchange, perform certain profile changes, publish a witness price feed'. I learnt that Active key is the key 🗝️🗝️🗝️ to the above tasks

4. Owner key - 'It is the most powerful key' and it is used to reset all the keys including Owner key, Posting key and Active key; recover your account, decline voting rights.

5. Memo key - In memo key, I learnt that I will useit to send an encrypted message, view an encrypted message and a lot more.

HOW DO YOU PLAN TO KEEP YOUR MASTER PASSWORD?

Master password is very important, because it is used to derive all keys for one's steem account. Therefore, upon my registration, I copy that password and Store it in where it will be safe and also easily recorver it. I used a digital online storage (My Google Drive) of which it can't be easily lost, and I also write them down on my note, keeping it safe away from people view so that my token cannot escape without my knowledge and I've done that already (i.e Cookies).

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO TRANSFER YOUR STEEM TOKEN TO ANOTHER STEEM USER ACCOUNT?

'YES' Is my answer

It took almost Seven (7) steps to follow:

i. Login to your steem account using your
username and posting key
ii. Click on your image at top right,
iii. Click on wallet next to logout,
it takes you to your steem wallet,

iv. Sign in with your username and active key and click login.
v. Upon logging in,click on the drop down arrow
close to steem and select transfer

vi. Include the username of the account user you are transferring to ,
vii. Type in the amount and click next to confirm the transaction as shown in the picture below

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO POWER UP YOUR STEEM?

Yes
Power up is a sentence found in steemit, aand it's refers to a process where by steem can be converted to steem power.
Through Wallet environment that it can be done easily.

Four(4) Steps are as follow;

a. When you click on the drop down arrow close
