Achievement 2 : Basic Security on Steem

in Newcomers' Community3 years ago (edited)

Hello steemit family, I’m here to talk about the basic security on steemit.
Every good platform has means of being secure, so does steemit.
There are several security keys here on steemit, let me talk about them and their uses.

                                  KEYS ON STEEMIT 

PRIVATE MASTER PASSWORD:
Private master key, just like the master it is, is being used to generate every other keys on steemit. In other to be probably secured, it’s advisable to be saved offline.

. How I plan to keep my master password
Regarding how important the master password is, aside being saved as a document online, I plan on saving a copy of

POSTING KEY:
This particular key allows users to access various contents on the platform such as logging in, commenting, following, voting, resteeming, editing, unfollowing, posting etc. It has restrictions, too much usage will get you compromised. The posting key creates orderliness on the platform thereby limiting users from doing certain things.

ACTIVE KEY:
Active key is mainly used for limited tasks, just like the ones regulated by the posting key. It’s used for transactions on the platform, conversion of steemit dollars and editing profiles.

OWNER’S KEY:
Owner’s key is used incase of account being compromised, this is where it functions. It is used mostly for account recovery.

MEMO KEY:
This key is used for encryption and description of memos during funds transfer on the platform.

                       WALLET AND TRANSFERS

Talking about steem wallet and how to transfer funds within and outside steemit platform.
The wallet gives you control and maximum security over your assets. Below is how one looks like

Transfer

For a user trying to transfer steem just within the platform, you will first of all input the username of the sender which is you in the space (from).
After that, the next step will be to input the steem address of the person receiving in the space (To) and then, the amount to be sent in the space (amount).

Transferring steem outside steem platform:

Sending steem outside the platform is a bit different from when you are transferring within the platform, when sending steem outside the platform, you will have to input the username of the person sending out the steem in the space (From), unlike when transferring within the platform, when you are supposed to input the address of the person receiving in the space (To), in this case you will have to input their username name there and then input there address in the space (memo).

HOW TO POWER UP YOUR STEEM :

When you log into your steem wallet and click on steem and several options pops up, just click on power up. And it will be done.
