ACHIEVEMENT 2 - BASIC SECURITY ON STEEMIT BY @precious123
Introduction
I'm glad to resurface on this community to do my achievement 2 task having noticed that my achievement 1 task has been verified, thus giving me a go-ahead to continue with the subsequent tasks.
Achievement 2 has to do with the keys which aid many operations on the platform. It's time I get down to business by narrating all you need to know about steemit keys
All my keys have been retrieved by me
I know each of those key functions and restrictions
I think I do, we all know that without a key, it is impossible to access a particular thing. Steemit has it's own very important keys, I'll just list out and explain the functions of each key
- Posting key
- Owner's key
- Public key
- Active key
- Memo key
1. Posting key: posting key is a key which enhances all social activities on steemit, it is the most used key as it is used to vote, comment, resteem a post. It also aids login to the platform.
2. Owner's key: owner's key as the name implies is used only by the owner of an account. It is not used often unless in cases of emergency or alert pertaining to one's account. Owner's key is used only at crucial times when an account is tempered with needing change of keys. Owner's key is security conscious and helps other keys to function properly, it could be said to be the boss of all other keys.
3. Active key: active key is used to carry out stronger operations on the platform. Activities like conversion of steem dollar, powering up or down, updating of profile and casting of votes.
4. Public key: public key is not a really complex key, infact it is very simplest key, public key appears to be used on the profile and also aids transaction procedures on the platform. It is not safety guaranteed.
5. Memo key: memo key is use for encryption and decryption of memos in the course of transferring assets from one platform to another or within
How I plan to keep my master password
I can now transfer my steem token to another steem user account
Sure! it's actually very simple to carry out, below are the steps to a successful transfer;
Step 1
I logged in to my wallet, under the steem heading, I clicked the drop down menu beside my liquid steem coins. Many options were displayed of which I clicked the first one transfer.
Step 2
A box was displayed where I inputed the username I wanted transferring the steem to which is @ijelady. I also wrote out the number of steem I was about to transfer in the 2nd box as you can see below
Step 3
This took me to another page where I confirmed my transfer, I can actually make corrections at this stage. Look at it below 👇
Step 4
This is the final stage where I clicked the okay button to make the transfer transaction successful. At this stage you're done with the transaction.
I know how to power up my steem
Of course I do, it's quite simple too. Take a look at the steps
Step 1
I logged in to my wallet, under the steem heading, I clicked the drop down menu beside my liquid steem coins. Many options were displayed of which I clicked power up, it's actually the 3rd option on the box. Check it out below:
Step 2
Just like transfer, a dialogue box appeared where I inputed the amount I wanted powering up as shown below:
Step 3
After that I clicked the ok function for a successful power up as seen below. This is the last step to powering up liquid steem.👇
