Hi guys am very happy today because I was able to complete my achievement 2 post I have been busy lately with school work that why I have been postponing it.

Have you retrieve all your keys on steemit?

Yes, I have all my five permission keys on steemit.

Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?

Yes, they are:
1 . posting key ÷ I give it functions an acronym PCVF, which means it is used for posting, commenting, voting, and following other users on steemit. I call it the basic key because once you login with your posting keys you can perform basic operation on steemit.

Restrictions ÷ restrict users from performing any operations on wallet and changing of keys.

2 . Owners keys ÷ like the vice president of a country it is the second in control after the master key. it can perform all the work of a posting key (PCVF) and it restrictions, it is used during account recovery because you can used it to change the keys even the owner key itself.

Restrictions ÷ cannot decrypt any encrypted private message sent to you through steemit.

3 . Active key ÷ can do the work of a posting key and it's restrictions (power up and down transaction, transferring funds, converting your steem dollars to steem and placing a market order), updating profile details and changing keys but cannot change owners key.

Restrictions ÷ cannot decrypt any encrypted private message sent to you through steemit and change of owners key.

4 . Memo key ÷ used to decrypt any encrypted private message send through steemit

Restrictions ÷ the uses is limited for now.

5 . Master key ÷ can do the work of all the other keys and it is useful during account recovery. it is the most important and powerful key out of all the key just like the president of the country.

How do you plan to keep your master key?

I keep it safe by writing it on a piece of paper and keeping it in a safe place infact if by mistake you come across it you will thing it is just rubbish written on it only me can understand it.

Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another steem user account?

yes,
1 . login to your steem account using your posting key.
2 . click on wallet.

3 . you will see one three horizontal lines on the right side of your screen, click on it and click on sign in.

4 . login again with your posting key and username.

5 . click on the down symbol under steem

6 . click on transfer

7 . where you see username, type the username of the person you want to transfer to and where they put amount, type the amount of steem you wish to transfer. you can omit the memo if you like.

8 . click on next then click on okay after you have rechecked it to be sure it is the username and amount you want to transfer.

9 . type your active or owner key and press sign in. that all the steem will transfer immediately.

Do you know how to power up your steem?

yes,
1 . follow instructions 1-5 in question 4
2 . click on power up

3 . where there is amount type the amount of steem you wish to power up and click on power up.

4 . after you have checked and see that the amount you want to power up is correct click on okay.

5 . type in you active or owner key and click on sign in that all you have successfully power up your steem

Note ÷ you can use your master key for the two transaction but it is not always advisable to use your master key anyhow because once anybody has assess to it, your account can be hacked and all the keys change so keep it safely.

In conclusion,

Every key has it own functions and restrictions, no key is useless every key is unique in is own way.
