Hello everyone in this great platform, i am a new steemit user i joined on the 17th of may 2021 and if you have not checked my introduction post you can check it here any way today we are going to be completing achievement two which is about basic security on steemit so let's begin.

Question 1: Have you retrieve all your keys on steemit?

Yes it has been secured because it is in a pdf that is in my phone and computer and i have many copies of the pdf in my memory card and flash drive and how i copied them was that i clicked on the pdf file then clicked copy and i just pasted in my memory card then from my memory card, more copies ended up in my computer the my flash so there is no way i am ever loosing it, before i forgot i also stored it in the cloud on the internet.

2). Question 2: Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?

Yes i know each of the keys and they are 6 keys in number and i will explain them.

TRON Public Key(TRON Address)
This is the key used for transfers, this is the key you send your token to.

TRON Private Key
This is the key or private key that has the highest authority on your TROM account. It is used for siging transactions of TRON, transferring tokens, freezing and voting.

Steemit Posting Key
The is the key that is used to log into your steemit account to post, comment, edit, vote, resteem and follow or mute the other account, if you are using a private computer it is wise to log in with your posting key because they can't do any transaction with this key.

Steemit Active Key
This is the key that can operate almost everything in your account like transferring funds, powering up/down and transactions, the private can also be used to change account details or vote for witnesses.

Steemit Memo Key
This is the key used to encrypt or decrypt memos while transferring asset, to do it you add pound or # in your message.

Steemit Owner Key
In steemit this is the most important key because with your owner key you can change all your keys, you can also use it to recover a hacked account so use this key when necessary.

3). Question 3: How do you plan to keep your master password?

I used a password that i can't forget because i only know that password because the password is what i use in other platforms so i can never forget, this key is important because it can be used to recover your account if it has been hacked.

4). Question 4: Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another steem user account?

• log in to your account and click wallet
• click on the steem balance then click transfer

• Enter the user name of the account you are sending steem to
• Type in the amount of steem
• enter your decription
• Click next

• cross check if everything is good then click ok to complete the transaction.

Remember that your active key is needed and also decryption is your memo.

5). Question 5: Do you know how to power up your STEEM?

Yes i know how to power up and i am going to show you how.

• logging then click wallet.
• click on your steem balance then select power up

• Type in the amount of steem you are going to use to power up to steem power.
• then click power up

• cross check if everrthing is correct then click ok.

Remember this process can only be completed with your active key so make sure you know your active key before trying to power up.
