Greeting And Introduction!

Hellow Steemians 🌟 ♥️💫🎊
I hope you are pleased and doing well,
Before moving further, I mean explaining the Basic Security of Steemit. We must learn the definition of security and privacy.
And now
Cybersecurity is no longer solely a problem for expert groups and information technology professionals.
Communication professionals(Network Experts),

Data Security&Privacy

In particular, We should exercise caution when dealing with security concerns (secure data from unauthorized access) and privacy(limiting your secrets to yourself).

You, your company where you work, and your customers value security and privacy for various reasons.
Although the data is protected, the identity of the user remains hidden.
More minor distinctions overlap with each other.

• The goal of data security is to prevent unauthorized access to data.
• It has been decided to implement secure data access.
• Security of user-related information is more difficult to achieve; that is known as privacy.

Now

Basic security with Steemit

Steemit is basically A decentralized Blockchain base social media, which means like Facebook and Instagram, it does not store user data
On central computer systems, servers, or hard drives.
Instead, it is run and operated by all people, and no one can claim either they run or have control over it.

How can I save My Steemit account from unauthorized access.

Just like others Facebook, Gmail, or Instagram
Steemit offers different types of security methods to protect you,
Because Steemit is just not only a social media platform, but it is A Bank that store your assets in the form of
SBD Or Steem as well, While It is a platform of Quality content, people groups, and a University or school where we learn about business and life.
So due to this, it offers a unique type of security to its users,
Instead of using passwords, it uses keys consisting of a long string of letters, numbers, and characters, making it challenging to break crack or hack.

How Can Someone Protect their account?

As I explained earlier that Steemit uses different keys instead of just one password, Means
If you lose or forgot them, there is no way to recover or go back,
Steemit says the dot save your passwords or provide no way to recover them if they are lost or gone into someone hands
• Master key sits on the top of all, so keep it in a secure place, all other keys are driven from it, It can be used to download all other keys or can be used to change password, so avoid from other keys to be overwritten on it
• Again be careful about Master Password
• Always use the proper key by understanding its scope and feature so it will keep your account secure.
• Never give your master password to a third-party site; otherwise, an account may be compromised or stolen.
• Always use the Posting key for posting, voting, reesteeming, or upvoting.
• Use active or owner key for power-up transfer or other wallet-related operations.

Now, Let me explain the purpose, power, and difference of all keys

Posting Key:-

We can publish, remark, edit, vote, follow, and Mute other users using the posting key. The posting key should be used daily by the majority of users. A compromised password or key is more likely to be compromised if it is used frequently. As a result, a restricted post key has been implemented to reduce the damage.

Keys for sensitive activities, including money transfers, power up/down transactions, Steem Dollar conversion, witness voting, and market placement orders, are stored on a secure server.

Owner Key:-

Only use the owner key when it is indispensable. The powerful key is the ability to change any key, including the owners. It should be kept inactive and only used in the event of a hacked account recovery situation.

Memo Key:-

This key is used to encrypt and decrypt memos that are sent along with payments. Create an encrypted note by using the pound/# sign.

What happens if I misplace my password or keys?

• If you forget your password or lose your owner key, there is no way to retrieve your account! Because of the importance of your account, you must ensure that your master password is kept safe at all times.

• In the event of a hard drive failure or another disaster, you must keep your password in a safe place. Make use of the most appropriate redundancy box. Consider the use of external CDs or printed paper as offline digital storage media, for example.

Is there a difference between the master password and the owner key?

This key is used to produce all other keys, including the owner key and sign documents. Exclusively when recovering should you use your master password; otherwise, it should be used only to retrieve the password from its secure storage location.
The master password is the one that you are given when you register with us. Once you have accessed your Steemit.com wallet, you can use the additional keys to access your account.
