Achievement 2 by @yaro68: Basic Security on Steemit

Hello Steemians. How are you today? Hopefully always in good condition and healthy. Aamiiin

After I complete Achievement 1 regarding introductions, then I will then go to the next task, namely Achievement 2 regarding the basic security of the steem accounts that we each have.

In my writing this time, I will explain about the function of each key and how to use it so that the steem account is safe from ignorant hands who try to break through security to steal the assets we have.

As we know, password is the key to login to an account. In a steem account, the password is divided into several parts according to the actions we will take. Therefore, we must be able to distinguish the use of each key that we receive when downloading a pdf file the first time we log in.

Next, how to keep your steem account safe, keep the master password or master password in a safe place and use another password to keep these security documents such as dropbox storage or google drive

To log into our steem account, we only use a password that corresponds to the function of each password.

1. Private Posting Key
   The Posting Key password that we use to log in everyday to write posts, comment and provide upvotes.

2. Private Memo Key
   Memo Keys are used to encrypt and decrypt private messages that we send over the blockchain.

3. Private Active Key
   The Active Key password that we use to perform actions related to our assets, such as transferring tokens, power ups, power downs, trading and markets. I already really understand how to use active keys to transfer steem to other steem account users and power up / down, I've done it many times.

4. Private Owner Key
   The Private Owner Key password that we use to reset or reset all of our other passwords and to restore accounts within 30 days if our account is compromised

5. Master Password
   The master password that we use to generate new passwords and generate new pdf documents, never share this password because it is the main password that needs to be protected to avoid steem account theft

I have obtained all the passwords that I described above in the form of a pdf file which I will save in my dropbox so that I can get it anywhere if there is a problem with my steem account while out of the house / city

Thus my post about the basic security of a steem account, hopefully this post can be useful. thank you.
