What is a posting key you ask... Well it is a unique string of characters that allows other steemapps like DTube, DSound, Utopian-IO and so on to post content, upvote and follow other steemians as you normally would on steemit.com.
For security reasons most steemapps would request for your "private posting key" upon signin instead of your steemit generated password (which you should nevet loose)
I will now show you how to get your private posting key.

1- login to steemit and go to your wallet
2- click on the permissions tab. You would get a page like this
