Achievement 2 @ghosvisions Task : Basic Security on Steem
Assalamualaikum Everyone. I hope you all are doing well. Today, after completing my Achievement 1 task successfully, I am going to share my next Achievement 2 task which is about "Basic Security on Steem "
Designed by me on Canva
Question no 1: Have you retrieve all your keys on Steemit?
Answer: Yes, I have retrieved all my keys during creating my steemit account and saved them in a secure place, so no one can access them instead of me.
Question no 2 : Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?
Answer: Yes, I know each key functions and restrictions.
I will briefly explain one by one.
This key is used to perform daily activities like posting, commenting ,upvoting, down voting and resteeming. It’s always better and safe to use this key for daily logins instead of the master password to keep our account secure.
This key is only used for wallet related actions like for transferring tokens, Powering Up & Down, SBD conversion and for placing a market order. It is also used for making any changes to our profile details. I will not enter this key into any untrusted sites, because if someone gets my active key, they can steal my tokens.
The owner key is one of the most important and powerful key because it can recover our account and can change all keys of an account including the owner key. So, it is very necessary to saved it securely offline.
I will use this key for encrypting and decrypting messages during funds transferring process. If, I want to make my message private so publicly no one can read it, I will add # sign at the beginning of the memo.
Question no 3 : How do you plan to keep your master password?
Answer: I have saved my master password digitally in my Google drive on both of my mobile phones and most importantly I have also written it in my personal diary and kept it in safe place . By doing this, I will never lose access to my account if accidently any of my device fail. This password is very important if I lose it, I can’t get my account back because steemit has no “Forgot password” button like other sites.
Question no 4 : Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another steem user account?
Answer :Yes, I know how to transfer my steem into another steem user account.
At first, I will open my wallet . Then click on drop-down arrow beside the steem balance, a menu will appear as shown in my screenshot below.
Now, I will click on "Transfer" option
Then, I will enter the receiver account name to whom I want to transfer steem tokens. Just like as an example in my screenshot below, I entered cryptokannon name. Next, I will enter the number of amount I want to send and in memo box , I will write any message if I want to send her. Click Next and confirm transfer.
And in the final step, I will sign in with my Active key to complete transfer .That's it
Question no 5 : Do you know how to power up your steem?
Answer : Yes, I know how to power up my steem. I will open my wallet . Then click on drop-down arrow beside the steem balance, a menu will appear as shown in my screenshot below.
Then, I will select Power Up option from menu as shown in my screenshot below.
At the end, I will enter the amount of steem I want to power up and then click on Power Up. That's the process by which I can power up my steem.
That was all for my achievement task 2. I want to say special thanks ❤️ to everyone who supported me on my 1st achievement task. It motivates me to do better.
