ACHIEVEMENT 2. BASIC SECURITY ON STEEMIT : @sureway044
Security basically ought not to be
narrowed down to any law enforcement agent , the military or paramilitary ;but as steemit considered . Security need to be taken into consideration by an individual , business firm , small and large scale businesses. And just the government , by so doing even our environment would get to be more secure . Most importantly not just our asset but confidential information is being set on security priority . Thank so much Steemit for making security of the blockchain system and platform a priority , known that , hackers and thousands of fraudsters are out there . And special thank to :

INTRODUCTION
Steemit blockchain and platform hast initiated various keys which meant for respective functions , which further served such so as to get an existing registered account save and secure .
These keys are listed as follow :
1). Private Posting Keys
2). Private Active Keys
3). Private Owner Keys
4). Private Memo Keys
5). Master Password
WHAT ARE THE FUNCTION OF THE ABOVE LISTED KEYS
The above keys would be taken each for a brief , so as to enable usage understanding .
MASTER PASSWORD
"'
Steemit master password is as well known as the seed , yes because it gives birth to other related keys . It mainly the document that generate others . It major functions has no limit , and as an account owner you are expecting to keep your seed save and don't ever get it share with any body or on the social media . You can save it on your flash drive .
PRIVATE POSTING KEY
This is kind of security key required you to use for daily log in of your account to perform some functions such as : Posting commenting and voting
PRIVATE MEMO KEY
Private memo key is kind of security key that is being use for encryption and decryption of an account .
PRIVATE OWNER KEY
Private owner's key is a kind of security key which required for resetting of an account and as well use to recover and account when is being compromise , that can be possible within 30days in terms of recovery of a compromise account.
PRIVATE ACTIVE KEY
Private active key is the kind of security key which can only use for monetary transactions . Mainly to transfer steem to another user account and to get powering up steem and power down steem , this basically on steem wallet.com
After getting an understanding of the functions of those steemit existing keys
BASE ON PRIVATE ACTIVE KEY FUNCTION ,
Big question should be how can someone transfer steem to another user account and power up steem when desire to do so ?
The following screen shot would provide an answer to all of that question ;
Open steemwallet.com
First log in using your said private active key , then , something like page come up
Now trace a box like dot on the steem side an click , there a drop down like this as below pop up
Getting that , steem transfer to another user account is the focus , then click on transfer . There , a new page pop up as below
On the "To" column type another user account username , and amount type amount , click next . And another page would come with "Ok" to effect a transfer , such as below
Then , click Ok. Your steem hast been transferred , that if you first login but if not it would take you to a final page to input your private active key to transfer. That done
HOW TO POWER UP STEEM
go back to dropbox page as below :
Then click on power up , to power up steem , it open a new page like this below :
Then , input a proper amount and click power up . A new page come forth to effect the command , such as this below :
Then , finally click "Ok" to effect needed command . Perhaps if one did not initially login using active key it would likely open a new page to login using private active key . But if already currently login , process of power up is done here .
Proof: I thought I would be required to input my private active key in the end to finish my transfer but was not as I did thought . Because immediately I login I get to continue instant steem transfer
With the understanding of the above given illustrations , no problem than playing with any of the needed key for it specially meant purpose.
