DIFFERENT KEYS AND THEIR IMPORTANCE

1MASTER PASSWORD
This is a password that owns veto power on the account of the owner, and it is used in performing or carrying out all manner of functions, such as the realization and generation of other keys which makes it pivotal and vital to the user which he/she must heavily guard it with utmost care,this is because in an eventuality that it gets to the wrong hands the owner can loose his/her account,money and many more.

2OWNER KEY
This key is a very powerful key because it can be used to change any key in an account and also used to regain or recover an account that has been infiltrated or compromised.

3ACTIVE KEY
This key is used to transfer, fund, power down or power up transactions,voting for witnesses, convert steem dollars, place market or dear and update profile details

4POSTING KEY
This is the key that allows account owner to post comment,vote,edit,resteem and follow or unfollow other account .

5MEMO
This is used or its function is encrypting and decrypting memos when making trandfer of funds. it Should be noted that for you to encrypt a memo,you must make use of the pound or #sign before it.
