Greetings to my Steem family. I hope everyone's doing great, it's been such a long time as I had one or two difficulties being here, but glad to be back, and am going to be sharing with you the reason why I wasn't posting but then I hope someone missed my posts!!!
Me too I missed being here, well sadly I lost my keys and found that very fraustrating and stressful and so I would like to take this opportunity to tell or advice everyone to be very careful as not to ever joke with their keys, please do keep them very safe!!

Steemit says;

The first rule of Steemit is do not lose your password,
The second rule of Steemit is do not lose your password,
The third rule of Steemit is that Steemit can not recover your password,
And the fourth rule is that if you can remember your password it is not secured.
This is just as a reminder to our fellow Steemians!

Security therefore is that act of safeguarding our keys (keeping them private) making sure we safe them like maybe to Google.

Have you retrieved all your keys?
I have retrieved all my Steemit keys. When I created my account my keys came in a PDF form. I have of course understood my keys shouldn't be lost as I would no longer have access to my account. Well if my keys were to be lost, I wouldn't have any access to my account like what happened to my previous account.
The keys which have been retrieved are as follows;

TRON public key
TRON private key
Master key
Private owner key
Private memo key
Private active key
Private posting key
Do you know each of the key functions and restrictions?
I know how all my keys function and I also know all the restrictions.
Below are the functions of my keys:
Master key; this is the main key which is used to generate this document.one should never share this key with anyone as of course your keys are supposed to be private.

TRON private key; this key has the highest authority one's TRON's account and the keys can only be used with transactions that concern your TRON account. You can use it to do transactions such as transferring TRON tokens and voting.

Private posting key; this one is the log in key, used to log into Steemit and also perform actions such as voting, commenting and posting.

Private active key; labelled as number four, this key is used to do transactions that concern wallet and money transactions, this key is also used for powering up and maybe powering down of steem.

Private Owner Key; used to reset all the other keys, it's recommended to off line all the times and if you account is lost you can use these keys to recover it withing thirty days (30) at Steemit wallet.com.

Private memo keys; private memo key is used to decrypt private transfer memos.

How do you plan to keep your master key?
** I have kept them in my Google account and also printed a hard copy and kept in my box.

Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another Steemit account?
** I do know how to transfer tokens to another account,as follows
-login into your wallet
-Click on the drop down arrow beside steem, a page will appear then click transfer.

Now enter the amount of steem you want to transfer.

Click on Next and take OK if you are quite sure all your info is correct, after which you fill your password and click Sign In then the transaction is complete.
