Achievement 2: Basic Security on STEEM || by @mahirabdullah
Hello Everyone. I'm Mahir Abdullah from Bangladesh 🇧🇩. It's been a long time since I've published my achievement 1 post. So today, I'm going to describe "Basic Security On STEEM" which is listed in "achievement 2" task.
Basic Security On Steem
✔ Have You Retrieve All Your Keys On Steemit?
☞ Yes, I've retrieved all of my keys on steemit when I registered in this platform.
✔Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?
☞ Yes, every key works in different cases. Now I'll try to give a short description about these keys
Posting Key:-
To me, posting key is one of the most important key among all of the accounts. If you want to login into your account, you must need your private posting key. Also, you need this key if you want to post, comment, edit, vote, resteem, and follow or mute other accounts.
Active Key:-
This key is used while transferring funds, power up/down transactions, converting Steem Dollars, voting for witnesses, updating profile details and avatar, and placing a market order etc. This is needed when you are doing any money transaction related work. You Won't be able to do the tasks above if you forget this key.
Master Key:-
Master key is the most important key of one's account. If you lose/forget all the keys of your account except master key, You can recover the rest keys by using this only key. If it gets into the hands of someone else, your account may be stolen. So, you must be very careful about this key
Owner Key:-
You'll need this key when you want to change the password of any of the keys including owner key. It may not be used everyday, but this isn’t any least important key either
Memo Key:-
May be, this key is the most least used key among all the keys. In order to encrypt or decrypt a memo, You'll need this key.
Caution:-
Never ever share your private keys with anyone. This may result in losing your beloved account
✔How Do You Plan To Keep Your Master Password?
☞ I've saved my master password in both of my used device including a mobile and a tablet. Both of the devices can be unlocked using my fingerprints only. I saved these keys in my google drive account also. So, I Don't think I have to worry about my keys.
✔ Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another steem user account?
☞ Yes. In fact, I transferred my steem token to another steem user's account several times. To do this, you have to go to your wallet. Then if you tap on your current steem value, You'll see an option to transfer you steem. After tapping there, you’ll be shown a page like this..
From here, yoy can easily transfer your steem to other's account
✔ Do you know how to power up your STEEM?
☞ Yes. I know the process. To power up steem, You'll have to go to Your wallet & then tap of your current steem value. Then you have to tap " Power UP". Then you’ll see a page like this..
From here, you have to set the amount you want to convert your steem to steem power & then provide the necessary key. Thus, you can power up your steem
So, That's all about the detailed information about basic security on steem which is included in Achievement 2. I hope I've been able to complete this achievement by describing It's process that I've realised in the past few months.
