Have you retrieve your steemit keys

All my steemit have been retrieve, this happen when I was signing up to the platform and I also save it up in my hard drive

Yes I have carefully read the instructions and I fully understand the restrictions of of the steemit keys and there outlined below
The keys are listed below

  • private posting key

  • owner key

  • private active key

  • memo key

  • Master key
    It can be used to produce my steemit password or key and it was the first keys that I encounter before I was able to download my key. It is one very important key that should be kept safe because with it you account keys can be gotten

  • Private posting key
    It can be used to carry out steemit activities such as voting, posting and community, resteeming we even use it in muting

  • Owner key
    This key is very unique because it is being used by the owner to reset all other keys on the steemit account and it is very important, because you can change your key when you feel it is not safe.

  • Private active key
    This is mainly used for monetary transactions of carrying kinds e.g transfer of tokens, powering up and powering down of steem

  • Memo key
    This can be used for memo transfer, decrypting and decoding of memo and it is always being asked before transferring steem

How do you plan to keep your master password

As a safety measure all my password are being saved to my google account and back up files offline for security purposes, I also save it in my hard drive
