ACHIEVEMENT 2 @owura555 TASK: FUNDAMENTAL SECURITIES ON STEEM.
Hello steem world!!! Thanks for accepting and guiding me here since I joined this community. I have realised it is important for me to secure my account before I have problems with my passwords and these are some important security steps to protects your steem account.
Before I start, @cryptokannon guided me to protect my account and I would like to thank him on his achievement 2 post.
I collected all of my keys from my wallet "keys and permissions" portion, and copied all details offline in a written format and saved at two different locations(one of my google drive and one on my personal computer. I will definitely not lose it! That is my Posting key, active key and memo key.
Each key is assigned to it specific use. Here is a brief explanation of each key;
Private owner key 🗝
This key is normally offline because it is not used much but it is the most important of all. It helps recover your account within 30 days if you have problems logging in and resets it.
Private posting key 🗝
This key allows you to interact on steemit. That is, it allows you to login to steemit , post, follow, vote, resteem and comment on steemit posts.
Private memo key 🗝
The memo key supports money transfer. I tried to swap poloniex with it, and it helped me decrypt my account successfully.
Private active key 🗝
This key is used for transferring of steem dollars from one account to another user. It also helps me to power up and power down.
These keys are NOT shareable!!!!!!!!
Once again, a very big thank you to @cryptokannon for alerting me on his post.
