Introduction

Security is one of the biggest thing everyone wants in every aspect of life. Imagine you living in a house where everyone has your keys to the house your safety isn’t grantee . Here in steemit security is very important ,so a series of keys has been put in place which is unique only to one account each and which is not easy to by pass.
I will be explaining the security by answering the following questions.

Have you retrieve all your keys on steemit?

Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?

How do you plan to keep your master password?

Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another steem user account?

Do you know how to power up your STEEM?

I could not have done this work without getting some ideas from @event-horizon.
Question 1
Have you retrieve all your keys on steemit?

This another very important key which is used for login , posting of write ups, commenting on other posts on the platform or on your our post . You can also use it to edit what ever you want in you account, voting ,resteem,following or muting other account also requires this key.

Active keys

You can not talk of transfer of tokens, power up or down , converting SBD to steem, voting for witnesses without using the active keys also updating your profile details need this key.

Owner key

This key is used only when necessary because of the power it has. It is used to change any key of an account including it self.

Conclusion

These keys are put in place for the basic personal security measures in steemit in addition to many other security measures the platform runs .so keeping these keys safe like in hard drivers ,on papers will help you not to loss your account no matter what and make sure it doesn’t fall in the hands of a wrong person.
