GREETINGS !!!

Hello !!! my associates in the Steemit platform, I believe you are all doing great , I’m writing to expatiate on the Basic security on STEEM

MEANING OF SECURITY

Security is the state of being safe from harm, danger, or threat. It can also refer to measures taken to protect something from harm or danger.
In addition to being a state of protection from danger, security can also be defined as a sense of confidence, certainty, or trust.

HAVE YOU OBTAINED AND SAVED ALL YOUR STEEMIT PASSWORDS ?

It is a step that shows that your registration in the platform is successful. These passwords pop up for view and are always downloaded as Portable document format (PDF) and saved in the device which carried out the registration.

DO YOU KNOW ALL THE FUNCTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS OF THE KEYS ?

I’ll talk about all of it

  • MASTER KEY: This is a super essential key, it is used in the recovery of all other keys, it must not be disclosed but retained in a secured location. It can be saved into internal device storage, cloud storage, emails and also on external devices like USB flash drives, memory cards and External hard drives etc. This key is only used for account recovery.

  • POSTING KEY: The function of this key is to enable a successful log in of an account on Steemit in order to carry out tasks like setting up and editing of your bio, posting on your account, following and commenting on other people's accounts, voting. This key is limited to only the log in process.

  • ACTIVATION KEY: This key which is required in the monetary and wallet related actions is used to perform functions related to the exchange of funds between Steemit users. It can be used to transfer tokens or powering STEEM back and forth. This key is an essential part of using the platform, and it allows users to manage their finances.

  • OWNER KEY: Being the Core key, this key gives you full control of your STEEMIT account, including the ability to manage your wallet, and reset your other keys. It is recommended to be kept undisclosed and saved offline at all times, only to be used when your account seems compromised.

  • MEMO KEY: This key is specifically used to decrypt private transfer memos, in other words it is used to attach a message to a transaction on the Steem blockchain.

  • PUBLIC KEY: This key is not required during the login process, it is associated with usernames and is used to encrypt and verify messages.

HOW DO YOU PLAN TO KEEP YOUR MASTER KEY SAFE ?

Here's my reliable method of storing my master key securely.

I keep it totally undisclosed, to avoid other people or device users from having access to it, by saving it in my Cloud storage and email which is private and authentic, thus it will always require personal passwords from me whenever I want to retrieve the key, therefore making it only accessible by me.

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO TRANSFER YOUR STEEM TOKENS TO ANOTHER STEEM USER ?

I have the knowledge to carry out this process and the screenshots below are steps on how to successfully transfer Steem tokens to other users.

STEP 1: Click on your photo icon, then click on wallet.
