🛡️ Achievement 2: Basic Security on Steemit by @islamalex🛡️
Hello everyone! 🌟 I have successfully completed my Achievement 1, and now I am here to share my understanding of Steemit's basic security.
Security is very important on this platform because if we lose our keys, we can lose our account and rewards forever 🔒. This is why every newcomer must understand how these keys work to keep their hard-earned rewards safe.
Question 1: Have you retrieved all your keys on Steemit? 🔑
Yes, I have retrieved all my keys. I have downloaded the PDF file containing all my keys and passwords provided by Steemit during the account creation process. I have also made sure to keep this file in a very safe place.
Question 2: Do you know each of these key's functions and restrictions? 📜
Yes, I have learned about the different keys and their specific jobs. Each key has a different level of power:
1.Posting Key: I use this for my daily activities like posting, commenting, and voting ✍️.
2.Active Key: This is very sensitive. I use it for money-related tasks like transferring Steem, powering up, or placing market orders 💰.
3.Memo Key: This is used to encrypt or decrypt private messages during a transaction 📨.
4.Owner Key: This is the most powerful key. It can change any other key of the account, including the Owner Key itself 👑.
Question 3: How do you plan to keep your master password safe? 🏠
I have saved my Master Password in multiple places to ensure I never lose access. I keep it in a secure digital file on an offline device and I also wrote it down in my personal diary 📔. I know that Steemit does not have a "Forgot Password" button, so if I lose this, nobody can help me recover my account.
Question 4: Do you know how to transfer your STEEM token to another Steem user account? 💸
Yes, I know the process.
1.I need to go to my Wallet.
2.Click on the drop-down menu next to my Steem balance and select "Transfer".
3.Then enter the receiver's username and the amount.
4.Finally, I use my Active Key to confirm the transaction.
Question 5: Do you know how to power up your STEEM? ⚡
Yes, I do. Powering up is essential for growing my influence on the platform.
1.In my Wallet, I click on the Steem balance and select "Power Up".
2.I enter the amount I want to convert into Steem Power.
3.I confirm the action with my Active Key. Powering up helps my account grow and increases my voting value 🚀.
Thank you for reading my post. I am excited to continue my journey here! I promise to keep my keys safe and follow all the security rules of Steemit 🤝✨.
