Achievement 2 @nellosimbo: Basic Security on Steemit

Hello amazing people of steemit
My name is Nelson Simbo and I will be sharing with you my understanding of Steem security.

HAVE YOU RETRIEVED ALL YOUR KEYS?

Definitely! I have retrieved all my keys on steemit which came as a PDF file. It's but normal that without those keys, I will not be able to access my account. I have actually saved my keys both off and online.
The keys I retrieved include:

• TRON Public Key
• TRON Private Key
• Private Posting Key
• Private Active Key
• Private Owner Key
• Private Memo Key
• Master Key

DO YOU KNOW THE USE OF EACH OF THESE KEYS?

I for sure know the function of each of these keys.

Tron Private Key

This private key has the highest authority on your TRON account. It is used for TRON transactions such as transferring tokens, freezing and voting

Private Posting Key

Used to log in to apps such as steemit.com and perform social actions such as posting, commenting and voting.

Private Active Key

Used for monetary and wallet related transactions such as transferring tokens or powering STEEM up and down

Private Owner Key

This key is used to reset all your other keys. It is recommended to keep it offline at all times. If your account gets compromised, this key is used to recover it within 30 days at https://steemitwallet.com

Private Memo Key

Used to decrypt private transfer memos.

Master Key

Used to generate all your password. It is NEVER to be shared!

HOW DO YOU PLAN TO KEEP YOUR MASTER KEY?

I have actually saved them in my handset, my Gmail, on my PC and written in my my diary offline.

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO TRANSFER YOUR STEEM TOKEN TO ANOTHER ACCOUNT?

Yes I do. I appreciate @sirkeyz101 and @darrellbass who introduced me to this wonderful platform. He has always relentlessly helped me and guided me with transactions on this platform. When I login to my wallet, by clicking the 3 horizontal lines on the top right hand corner, all my funds now appear in green.

Where I find steem, there's a drop down button. I clicked on it and selected transfer.

Another box appeared and I inputted the account name which I wanted to send the token go, the amount and public memo. This memo can be left empty at times.

I used my active key to confirm the transaction

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO POWER UP YOUR STEEM?

Definitely! I later came to understand that having a high steem power gives me the ability to vote a post and it gets rewards. In my wallet where steem is, I clicked on it and selected power up to convert my steem to steem power.

Entered the amount of steem I wish to power up. Then clicked on power up.

Then I was asked to confirm with my active key.

And that was it. Thank you for voting verifying in advance.
