Good day wonderful Steemians I'm very grateful for this great opportunity given to me to express my thoughts on Steemit. Thanks so much @Cryptokannon, @kadosh2340 @focusnow, @steemalive, I really appreciate.

Basic Security on Steemit is the most important aspect of steemit which every user must strictly adhere to, in order to avoid being a victim of internet hackers and scammers. It also has to do with handling of your steemit keys like an egg, you need to store them in such a way that you can retrieve them whenever you want.
These keys are called private keys/passwords because your account is a private account, it is not to be shared with a second party or any kind of website. The security measures to be given to your account should be an authentic one, this is because once your account is lost , it can't be retrieved and if you misplace your private master key or your private owner key, your account can't be retrieved, therefore you need to be disciplined.

The 5 Basic Keys in Steemit Blockchain, and their differences and uses on your account.

It should be properly secured, because once it is misplaced, it cannot be retrieved. It should not be seen by another person or used on different websites. Keep your keys/passwords safe, ensure to store them in hard copy.
