Why is it so important that new users have a solid foundation when it comes to steemit security?

We are used to that on any platform, we generate the keys or passwords ourselves, usually we always use words or figures that are easy to memorize, but these passwords or keys can be very vulnerable when it comes to an attempt to hack our accounts, since for these who try to steal our information it is easier for them to circumvent this security.

Therefore, when we start in steemit it may be difficult for us to understand why each password and / or key is used, since they are a bit difficult to learn. Returning to the beginning, they have been created in this way to avoid this type of inconvenience since as we know in addition to sharing our experiences and knowledge can also be monetized, and it is vital to have our account very secure, at the time of a hack, these keys generated by the system are extremely difficult to decipher and for us perhaps something impossible to learn. In this way we must learn the proper use of each of them and for which they are used.

Post Key
Activation Key
Owner Key
Memo Key

Post Key: It is the one that allows us to carry out most of the interaction activities on the platform, as well as make a post, vote, comment, edit the publications, follow other accounts, etc., it is also the key with which you log in. We use it more often than the rest.

Activation Key:
You must be extremely careful with this key, because we use it to move our funds, convert the steem dollars, and movements that have to do with our wallet, keep this key very well in a safe place, without it you will not be able to have access to everything generated on the platform.

Owner Key: It is the most important and of course the most powerful, with it we can change any other key and it is the only one we can use if we lose any key or if our account is in danger. We must be responsible and only use it when necessary.

the Memo Key: We only use it to encrypt or decrypt less when we are going to transfer funds.

Being responsible with our passwords is essential to be able to keep our account active, remember that if you lose your passwords, you will lose everything generated.

Having understood the above, we proceed to answer the following questions:

Question 1

Have you obtained and saved all your Steemit passwords?

If I have saved them in my storage, downloaded in PDF, saved in writing, and also in my mail.

Question 2

Do you know all the functions and restrictions of the keys?

If I know all their functions, as I mentioned earlier, as well as how important it is to keep them in a safe place.

Question 3

How do you plan to keep your master key safe?

First of all not sharing it with other people, or logging into unknown devices, in addition to protecting is places where the file is deleted, in addition to passing them in writing for greater security.

Question 4

Do you know how to transfer your Steem tokens to another Steem user?

First you enter the wallet, log in with the active key, select transfer

Then we place the username to which we want to transfer and the amount, and click on next.

Question 5:

Do you know how to perform the power up process in Steem?

Here we also go to the wallet, select Power Up

We place the amount we want to turn on, and press Power up and ready our Steem power will have increased.

To conclude, we must keep and take care of our keys in a safe place, since the proper use of our accounts depends on them.
