Achievement 2 by @yaroharuna68: Basic Security on Steem

in Newcomers' Community4 years ago

Hello Steemians.

How are you doing today? Hopefully what is desired will come true and always be protected by Allah SWT, aamiin.
After completing Achievement 1 regarding introductions, then I will go to the next task of Achievement 2 regarding the basic security of our respective steem accounts.

In this article, I want to explain the function of each key and how to use it so that the steem account is safe from the hands of bad people who try to break through security to steal the assets we have.

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

The most effective way to keep your steem account safe, keep the master password in a safe place and use another password to keep the security documents such as dropbox storage or goole drive

To log into your steem account, we only use a password that is in accordance with the function of each password.

Some of the cipher sequences that must be known by the steemian:

  1. Private Posting Key
    Private Posting Key can be used to log in everyday. Key post function is to write posts, comment and provide upvotes.

  2. Private Memo Key
    Private Memo Key functions to encrypt private messages that we send via the blockchain.

  3. Private Active Key
    Private Active Key functions to operate our assets, such as transferring tokens, power ups, power downs, trading and markets.

  4. Private Owner Key
    We can use the Private Owner Key to reset all passwords and recover accounts within 30 days if our account is compromised by hackers with their various malicious tricks.

  5. Master Password
    The master password can be used to generate new passwords and generate new pdf documents. Never share your master password with anyone because this password is the main password that really 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 keep in my dropbox so that I can get them anywhere if there is a problem with my steem account while out of the house / city.

This is the post about the basic security of a steem account that you need to know. Hopefully this will be useful for myself and new users who are still just learning.
