Achievement2: Basic steem security
Hello Steemit Community,
I am happy to learn at such an amazing pace because everyone here is ready to teach and find ways to help newcomers who are clueless about some basics become professionals. The Achievement 2 is of necessity because it guides you on the security system of the Steemit platform. How to use the respective keys and access wallet too.
I would be supplying answers to the questions asked;
Question 1
Have you recovered all your keys in steemit?
Answer
Upon entry on the Steemit Platform, I got the PDF file which contains all the keys and I saved it on my device, I also backed it up in a private place,, so I have gotten all the steemit keys .
Question 2
Answer
Are you familiar with each of these key features and restrictions?
I have keenly studied these keys and their different purposes and at what point they are used.
Let me show you the different Keys and their individual purposes.
Posting Key
This is the key assigned to functions like posting,resteeming,downvote,upvote following and even commenting.
Active key
This particular key is the transactional key that aids transfer on the Steemit platform which includes transferring of steem and Powering Up and Power Down. This Key is also required in the conversion of SBD to steem and upvoting of posts rich in content.
Owner Key
This is a highly sensitive key, and should be well secured because this key can be used to reset other keys and even itself, so you see how sensitive it is. This Special key is also used to redeem an account that has been compromised after 30 days period.
Master key
Going by the name this is the most superior key, Please note that this key is not to be shared, as it can be used to take over your account.
Question 3
How do you plan to keep your master key safe?:
Answer
The Master key is saved on my email which is inaccessible and I have backed it up in other online storage clouds that is out of reach to any third party.
