Security is the state of being free from danger, injury or attack. It involves the act of protecting something. So basic security on Steem involves how to protect our Steem account from danger.

HAVE YOU RETRIEVED ALL YOUR KEYS ON STEEMIT.
Yes I have, immediately I was introduced to steemit I was given the the keys starting with the the Master password which was used to retrieve all the other keys namely: Posting key, Active key, Owner key and Memo key and I have kept the master password safe.

DO YOU KNOW EACH OF THE KEY FUNCTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS.
Yes, each of this keys ranging from Master password,Posting key, Active key, Owner key and Memo key perform different functions as indicated below. Be
(a) Master password: This is the seed password because it is used to generate all other keys. It is used to recover any key that may get loss. It is encouraged that we do not share this key with anyone. It is kept in a safe place.
(b) Posting key: Posting key as the the name implies is used more often. It is used to publish a post or comment, edit a post or comment, upvote or downvote, resteem content, follow people and mute account.
