Question 1: Have you retrieved all your keys from steemit?

Yeah all my steemit keys were retrieved less 6 days ago, I did this while signing up and I was glad to see my own keys, I use to see my friend's keys and I was always curious to have mine after I agreed to join steemit.

There's various types of steemit keys like;
Master Key.
Active key.
Posting key.
Owner key.
Memo key.

I will talk about them randomly soon

Question 2 : Do you know each of these keys functions and restrictions?

Yes i do know these keys functions and restrictions. Each time I try to experiment and see if I can login with a memo key it doesn't work and that's when I believed each keys has their own functions.

Posting Key

Posting key is used to comment, upvote, post and resteem other blogger's post. We can't use the owner key and few other keys except from this posting key, to login when we want to engage and interact in steemit.

Active Key

The kind of key is used for monetary related actions to your wallet, is either you are using it to power up or to transfer Steem to another blogger's account.We can't use this key to engage in posts here in steemit.

It is used mainly for transactions.

Owner Key

This particular key is used for gaining all our keys and also recovering our account after misplacing it. Once this owner key gets missing, recover our other keys will be impossible. It is necessary to key our keys safely, especially this owner key.

Memo Key

This particular key has to do with the action of encrypting a message and also decrypting a message. I heard that it's rarely make used of in steemit.

Master Key

This key was used to be able to generate and download the other keys, while signing up I copied and pasted the key where necessary and downloaded my other keys. This key is the most important key than even the owner key. Is quite known as a master password.

Question 3 How do you plan to keep your master password?

After signing up in steemit, I saved mine by printing it out securing it in my drawer, I made a photocopy of it also and kept it in another safe place in case something happens to my drawer. These keys are so important and they should never get missing.

Question 4 : Do you know how to transfer your Steem token to another steem account?

Yeah I do, it was even the second I learnt so that I can be transferring half of my Steem. The following are few steps.

Step 1

Click the wallet button in your profile, click Steem and tap transfer
