In this task i want to explain the function of each key and also want to explain how to use key so that the steem account is safe from any type of unauthorize people who try to break through security to steal our personal assets that we have.

When we are creating account a PDF file is downloaded , PDF file containing multiple keys.These keys contain different password that we can use on different level according to our requirement.

The most effective way to keep your steem account safe, keep the master password in a safe place.

Question #1
