Achievement 2 @mesonia task: basic security on steem

Image source

Being new to this platform, I understand that after introduction and familiarities, being sure of how to use and keep your keys safe is of vital importance.

It's just like buying a new apartment or moving into a new room and when given the keys, you have to keep them safe because without them, you're as good as Living in the streets

So, because I love my room here and the neighbourhood ....I decided to know my keys and keep them safe

That's why as @cryptokannon said, I'm making my achievement 2!!! A task of vitality!!

UNDERSTANDING MY KEYS
Posting key - The posting key allows accounts to post, comment, edit, vote, resteem, and follow or mute other accounts. Most users should be logging into Steemit every day with the posting key. You are more likely to have your password or key compromised the more you use it so a limited posting key exists to restrict the damage that a compromised account key would cause.

Active key - The active key is meant for more sensitive tasks such as transferring funds, power up/down transactions, converting Steem Dollars, voting for witnesses, updating profile details and avatar, and placing a market order.

Owner key - The owner key is only meant for use when necessary. It is the most powerful key because it can change any key of an account, including the owner key. Ideally, it is meant to be stored offline, and only used to recover a compromised account.

Memo key - This key is used for encrypting and decrypting memos when transferring funds. In order to encrypt a memo, use the pound/# sign before it.
