Hello everyone I am Rakesh from India and this is my second achievement task which is about all the keys of Steemit and its usage . I have read about functions of all the keys and on the basis of that I will reply the questions given in this achievement task.

Question 1

Yes, I have retrieved all keys as on the day of signing up for Steemit Platform with the option of downloading the PDF of all the keys I downloaded and kept the keys safely.

Question2
Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?

Yes, I know all keys functions and restrictions, as knowing about the key is one of the important aspect of this platform because once your key is lost it is next to impossible to recover it . So below is detailed understanding of mine:

1.Private Posting key

Private posting key is used for logging into the account for performing several activities like posting , commenting , voting and resteeming .

2. Private Active key

Private active key is one of the most important key which is used for powering up, powering down, converting your SBD into Steem and transferring Steem to others.

3.Private Memo key

Private memo key is another important key which is used for encryption and decryption of memo for fund transfer. This key helps to protect the information from being leaked and hence it is the third most powerful key.

4.Private Owner key

It is also an important key as all the keys except the master key is reset with help of owner key .

I have attached a photo of my handwritten functions of all four keys .
