QUESTION 2
Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?
Yes.
Just like any other platform has it keys or passwords that are used frequently.
On steemit we have the various keys and their functions as seen below.
(1) POSTING KEY
This is an important key that facilitate your account to post,edit,vote,resteem and also follow or mute others account.It is also used in daily logging and carrying out activities in the platform.
(2)ACTIVE KEY.
This key is usually usually used for more sensitive tasks such as transferring funds,powering up and down transactions,converting Steem Dollar ,voting for witnesses,updating profile details and Avatar,and placing a market order.
(3) OWNER KEY
The owner key is only meant for use when necessary.that is you can only use it when something important has to be done.It is also the most important key because it can change any key of an account, including the owner key.That is why it is meant to be stored offline,and only used to recover a compromised account.
(4)MEMO KEY.
This key is meant for encrypting and decrypting memos when transferring funds . Inorder to encrypt a memo, use the pound/# before it.
QUESTION 3
How do you plan to keep your master password?
Just from the name the master password it tells me how important this key is,so lossing this key eventually means lossing your steemit account.Because of this reason I have saved a hard copy of my master key and also save it in my Google drive in case I lost the soft copy I could still use the hard copy to login in to my account.

Hello @robless, you post is not 100% original. You practically copy some portion and pasted in your work. The practice of copy and paste is not tolerated on the steemit platform. You are expected to demonstration understanding of the achievement and put in your own words.
