Achievement 2 @boboyanky : Basic Security On Steem

Hello steemians

I hope you all stay safe during this COVID-19 Pandamic because when there is life there is hope and when there is hope there will be a bright future .Today is a great day and I’m glad given this opportunity on this great day to share the knowledge I have gained on steemit which will eventually help newbies on here to secure their steemit account.The knowledge I will be sharing today is about BASIC SECURITY ON STEEMIT which is all about

1.The posting key

2.Active Key

3.The owner key

4.The memo key

I will breakdown this keys and explain them each into details so that even the lame man will understand

Question 1.Have you retrieved all your keys?
Note:newbies should put it in mind that their keys should be copied and saved offline. I will encourage people to save it in PDF on both android and iPhone or Notes on iPhones

         FUNCTIONS OF THE KEYS  

1.Initially,let’s breakdown the posting key.It’s used to log into your account and it can also be used to perform other functions like commenting ,posting and voting.It can also be used to follow steemians and mute other users.

2. Secondly ,I will discuss the active key.It is used when there is anything to do with money in your steemit wallet and it can also be used to transfer funds or power steam either up or down

3. Moreover,i will be discussing owner key.It is only used when the owner of an account wants to reset all other keys.I highly recommend that this key should be kept somewhere offline at all cost and it should be kept at a very secure place because if someone gets hold of it you could loose your account.If someone’s gets your owner key he or she could use it to get access to everything in your account.
The owner key allows you to recover your account within 30 days if it gets compromised

4. Last but not the least I will be talking about memo key.When to encrypt a memo use the pound# sign before it

How Do You Plan To Keep Your Master Password

NOTE: Your master password is very important.it is used to generate all the other keys including the owner key ,so I recommend you to save it somewhere very safe,I mean where no one can get access to.for me I have a soft copy and a hard copy of my master password and it’s all kept somewhere very secure.I will only say how I hide the soft copy,as for the soft copy I have it in a folder which contains numerous files and in that files I save it in a certain file which also contains numerous files and I believe no one can get access to my master password
