Achievement 2 @khamara Task: Basic Security on Steem
I've heard stories of people's accounts getting hacked and tampered with. I've never had any experience personally but from what I've seen it do to people I'd never want to experience that, ever.
I'm glad steemit creators had the foresight to make our individual accounts tamper proof. The hierarchical keys system is GENIUS!
Question 1
Have you retrieved all your keys on steemit?
Answer
Yes, I have.
Question 2
Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?
Answer
Yes, I do. The keys are;
Power Key: This is used to log in and perform social actions like comment, edit, post, etc. It isn't used for financial actions.
Active Key: This key is used to carry out financial actions like transferring funds, power up/ down transactions, voting for witnesses, etc.
Owner Key: This key is the most important. It can change any key of any account and can be used to retrieve accounts.
Memo Key: This key is used for memo encryption and decryption during funds transfer.
Public Key: This can be used to look through transactions.
Question 3
How do you plan to keep your master password?
Answer
I have copied it to a document app on my phone and sent it to my other devices for safe keeping so unless an unknown virus hits every device I own simultaneously and scrambles everything in them, my master password is safe.
Question 4
Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another steem user account?
Answer
Yes, I do;
- Open your profile
- Click on wallet
- Click on the steem balance
- Click "transfer"
- Fill in the required spaces, click next and conclude transaction.
Question 5
Do you know how to power up your steem?
Answer
Yes, I do;
- Go to profile
- Click on wallet
- Click on the steem balance
- Click "power up"
- Fill in the blank spaces and click power up again, your steem has been powered up!
