Achievement 2 post how well do i understand my security keys and their usage.

Security is very crucial in every aspect of our lives both in our homes, on the street and especially on social media, so having completed my achievement 1 post on steemit, this achievement 2 post is created to explain my understanding of the various security keys and their functions.

How do i keep my account save?

The best and secured way to keep my account save is storing my keys in a secured place mostly offline, by keeping the keys in a secure place and avoiding exposing my keys and also make sure to avoid using the keys on site that are not secured and giving out my keys to other people.

Question 1

Have i retrieved all my keys on steemit?
Yes i have retrieved all my keys and they are well kept on a safe place, i have saved it on my email and my diary where I can easily refer to it in the future.

Question 2

Do you know each of the keys functions and restrictions?
Yes, although I made a mistake at first but thanks to the criticism and advise I was able to understand the keys and their function better.

MEMO KEY - Memo key is usually for sending messages to other users of Steemit by using a hashtag in our message. It also shows when we are making a transfer, incase you have a message to pass across with the transfer you use the memo key. I have used my memo key when I sent a message during a transaction.

TRON KEY - this key is basically for the use of our tron account it can be use for transfer of tron in our account.

MASTER KEY- it is the key to all other keys, because it can easily be use to reset all other keys.
