Having successfully gone through achievement 1, It is time to acquaint myself with the basic security on steem, how the master passwords work and also demonstrate the usage of my account posting keys, active key, private owner key and the memo key.

To get deeper understanding of the keys I engaged @oppongk to explain the function of each key and practically show how they are used.

Posting Key

Used to log in and perform social actions such as posting, commenting, and voting, follow or mute other accounts among many others.

Active key

The active key is meant for more sensitive tasks such as transferring funds, power up/down transactions, converting Steem Dollars, voting for witnesses, updating profile details and placing a market order.

Owner Key

This key is used to reset all other keys. It is advisable to keep it in a very safe place possibly offline at all times. If the account
is hacked, this is the key that will be used to recover the account.

Memo Key

The memo key is specifically used to transfer fund in encrypt and decrypt memos
To encrypt a memo, we use the pound/# sign before it.

Master Key

The most important key among them is master key .This key help us to acquire all other keys so it is of most importance and should be saved using WPS with an encrypted code on the document so that only you can access it and protect it from others safely.
