ACHIEVEMENT 2 @RICKY-JOE TOPIC: BASIC SECURITY ON STEEMIT

in Newcomers' Community3 years ago (edited)

It's me again,
I will be discussing the basic security on steemit, i used to think that it wasnt necessary till i saw how imporrtant it was and it should be given the maximum attention. From the posting key to the master key. THEY ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND NOT TO BE JOKED WITH.
THESE KEYS WILL BE DISCUSSED EXTENSIVELY.
Lets get to it..

KEYS IN STEEMIT
PRIVATE MASTER PASSWORD: This is used to generate other keys and mainly the main key used . This key should be handled with great care and security. this key should be hidden always and tucked away from preying eyes. if this key gets in the wrong hands, your account is prone to compromise.

PRIVATE POSTING KEY: Just like the name implies, it used for posting , used for log in purposes, voting and can be used to access your wallet too. very important in the upvoting and down. alwyas remember not to give away your key..

PRIVATE OWNER'S KEY: These key is almost similar to the Mster key, although this is mainly for recovery in cases where your account has been compromised.
PRIVATE ACTIVE KEY: This is the key for wallet transactions, if you are conversant with power ups and power downs. these key helps in achieving those.

MEMO KEY:Used for encryption and decryption of notes in funds transfer.

ALL THESE KEYS ARE ADVICED TO BE KEPT OFFLINE..
DOWNLOAD YOUR KEYS AND KEEP THEM OFFLINE.. DONT EVEN COPY TO CLIPBOARD!!

Unto the Wallet, lets talk about it.
Just below you will see the screenshot of the wallet

So concering funds transfer, its important that one gets whimp of it and how it operates.
fund transfer is quite complex and must be carefully studied.. remember the key necessary for that.

STEP3: Fill in the boxes, and click on Next, this should take you to a "transfer successful" page.
now in the case you'd like to have the steem on your binance wallet, you fill in "deepcrypto8" at the To box, and in the memo, you should fill in your binance wallet address together with the desired amount.
