Achievement 2 // Wallet transfer - Basic security on Steem // By @oadissin Entry

Greetings,

Peace Steemian,
I am grateful to write this article about the security of your account and wallet on Steemit. In the follow-up to my first achievement Link I would like to thanks the administration of this guide to all newly onboard bloggers on the platform. I have received my verification for the completion of my first achievement task.
Let us get to the main subject of my second achievement.

* Have you retrieved all your keys on Steemit?

Yes, I have claimed and written down on paper all my three keys on Steemit. Also, I have set up my Steem Keychain as a better means to interact with the various service offered on Steem Blockchain.

* Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?

Yes, I have read about the role of each key on the informative messages share on the wallet setting page.

  1 . The master key

The master key is the most important key of them all Steemit keys, it serves to generate not only all the other keys but also regenerate the master key. Even though the master key can help to log in to the wallet and do transactions, I prefer the protected keychain.

  2 . The Post key

The key called the Posting key is used to log in to our blog and share or publish posts, comment, edit, Resteem friend's articles, like favorite articles. The posting key can also grant access to features such as following and muting Steemit users.

  3 . The Active key

Active key is powerful and used to allow special actions from wallet-related activities, which means power up or down, Steem transfer, and SBD- STEEM exchange operations in the decentralized market.

  4 . Owner key

The Owner key is the only key that grants permission to change the other Steemit keys. The owner key should be kept secure at all times.

  5 . Memo key

The memo key is often used to decrypt private messages.

* How do you plan to keep your master password?

My keys including the master key are safely written on paper in my personal book. I place my book in a homemade safe that protects the page from any external alteration.

* Do you know how to transfer your Steem token to another Steem user account?

I have sent tokens to my friends on Steemit multiple times since I joined the platform.
I will describe the steps:

• Open the keychain wallet after unlocking the tool.

* Do you know how to power up your Steem?

I have powered up Steem on many occasions in my wallet using a keychain.
Here are some steps to power up your liquid steem.
I like to complete all these operations in Steem Keychain since all my keys are protected in the browser extension.
After unlocking the keychain, we select the user of the account where we will power up Steem

1. Inside the wallet we have Steem liquidity and a small arrow pointing down. Click on the arrow.
