First of all I want to thank @cryptokannon for starting this initiative for newbies. As users like me are learning a lot from her articles on Steemit.
So now, let's come to the Task which is
Achievement 2 Task : Basic Security on Steem

Security is always a major concern for any platform. But for steemit, it's more than important for you. You may loose your integrity, followers & money if you lost your security keys on steemit.
That's why I took my time to read the basic security on steemit which I successfully understood it. Security is protection and when you are protected, you are safe.
So now, Without wasting much time, lets move to the purpose of this post.
