BASIC STEEM SECURITY

in Newcomers' Community2 years ago (edited)

Hello, This is my achievement 2 and it is a great pleasure to participate in it and this are answers to the questions that are being ask.

Question 1

Have you obtained and saved all the keys and password of steemit?

Yes i obtained my keys while on the process of registration, and i have saved my keys and password on my google account.

QUESTION 2

Do you know all the functions and restriction of the keys?.

Yes i do know about all the keys and i do know about their functions too. There are four keys

  • private active key
  • memo key
  • owner key and
  • master key.

They are explained below:

  • Posting key:
    We make use the posting key to enter account and post, comment and also when we want to upvote quality post too and downvote a plagiarized post, it is also use when we are going to access our steemit wallet too

  • private Active key:
    Active permission key is used for performing transactions such as transferring tokens, powering steem up and down, voting to witness or delegating steem and in changing user setting.

  • Memo key:
    Memos are short straight to point pieces of writing that has the summary of your thoughts in regards to something. The memo permission keys of steemit is used to decrypt private memos. A message is sent encrypted so that it cannot be read during the sending process and when it is received it will be decrypted, which helps in securing the information.

  • Owner key:
    Owner key is the key that is used to change your account password, such as the active key and posting key to restore your account (used to reset all other keys if account is compromised).

  • Master key:
    This is the main key that we get after registering on steemit, this key is very important, it is the key that is used to generate all other keys and it should not be shared.

Question 3

How do you plan to have your passkey saved?

In order to do so I download the keys (pdf file) using WPS. After that I save it in my Gmail account.

Question 4
