Achievement 2 @Tripple-e Task: Basic security on Steem
Hello my steemit family I greet you all,I am excited to be on to my achievement 2, please I need all the support I can get.
Question 1:
Have you retrieve all your keys on steemit?
Yes, I have retrieved all my keys the exact day my steemit account was created, I had to download a PDF through the help of my mentor @mesola in order to keep safe all my keys because of how important my keys are; let me outline the different keys that I have;
There are in two categories:
PRIVATE KEYS
*Private posting key
*Private memo key
*Private active key
*Private owner key
PUBLIC KEYS
*Posting public
*Memo public
*Active public
*Owner public
And the master password key, all these keys are at my disposal @ steemit.
QUESTION 2:
Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?
In the affirmative.
*Private posting key: this is used to login to apps such as steemit.com and perform all social activities such as posting, voting, commenting, editing, resteem and follow or mute account.
*Private memo key: This is another important key, it is used to decode private transfers.
*Private active key:
Yeah! This is another key used for monetary purposes and wallet related actions, such as transferring of tokens or powering steem up and down.
*Private owner key: this key can be referred to a mother or master key, because it is used in resetting all other keys.
Therefore it is recommended that this key should be kept very safe by keeping it offline at all times. If your account is compromised, you can use this key to recover it within 30 days. so you can see how important this key is.
Then, there is what we called "master password". This is the key used in generating this document, without this key this document wouldn't have come alive.
NOTE: it is not meant to be shared in any circumstance whatsoever.
And we have another category of keys called steemit public keys:
These keys are associated with usernames and are used to encrypt and verify messages. And there are not necessary or required for any login.
These Are: posting public, memo public, active public and owner public.
QUESTION 3:
How do you plan to keep your master password?
I plan to keep my password safe by having the offline copy stored in my Gmail account or in my PDF file or even printed it out in a paper and kept it safe where my other credentials are.
QUESTION 4:
Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another steem user account?
YES!
step1:
I'll login to my steemit wallet by using posting key.
Step2:
I click on the steem wallet icon
Step3:
Click on login, then I insert my username and active key, then I click on transfer
Step4:
Then it will take me to where I have "transfer to account"
Then I will Input the necessary details and it is done.
QUESTION 5:
Do you know how to power up your steem?
Yes
Then it will take me to this
Then you click on power up. Done
Best regards
