in Newcomers' Community3 years ago

Hello steemit family 🤗🤗 it's @greyc and today I will be completing my Achievement 2.

Todays post will be on the "Basic Security on Steemit. This post is very important as each steemit account holds much value and as such should be well secured because, once your steemit account is lost you cannot retrieve it again thereby loosing all your hard work.

It is imperative that you save your password and keep it safe and be careful not to overwrite or misplace your original master password.

Once a Steemit account has been created keys are generated for each subscriber as each account is protected by keys. We have different keys that has been put in place to ensure smooth access on the Steemit blog. Below are some of those keys and their uses 👇👇

  • Master keys

  • Posting keys

  • Active keys

  • Owner keys

  • Memo keys

Master keys:

The master password is used to derive all keys for your account including the owner keys.

Posting Keys

This key allows accounts to make a post, reply a post, comment on a post, edit a post, vote in a post, resteem and follow or mute other accounts.

Owner key

The owner key is only used when necessary. It is the most powerful key this is because, it can change any key of an account, including the owner key and as such should be stored safely.

Memo key

This key is used for encrypting and decrypting memos when transferring funds.
