Let me take you through my understanding of basic keys of STEEM. Hope you will enjoy it.

THE OWNER KEY:
Utmost priority is placed on this key as it gives you access into other keys.

FUNCTIONS:
*It is used in changing the owner key itself
*It is used in changing other keys or password
*It is used in recovering an account to the original owner

THE MASTER KEY:
This is generated upon, as a user signs up on steemit blog.

FUNCTIONS:

It is used in generating other keys, upon signing up.
*This is ine of the most essential keys on steemit blog, optionless if any usser get loss of this key his/her account is lost infinitely, etc.

ACTIVE KEY:
This key plays a few remarkable and distinguishing role on steemit.

FUNCTIONS:
It is used in transfers of fund.
It is used in converting steem dollars and also placing market order.
It is used in powering up and down
It is also used in updating of profile.

POSTING KEY:
This key is precisely in consonance with it's name.

FUNCTIONS:
*It is used in posting and commenting of contents.
*It is used in resteeming, editing, deleting, muting and also to follow any one.

MEMO KEY: precisely this key performs a contingent and juxtapaced function in that, it is used in sending an encrypted messages or in viewing an encrypted messages.

Finally these are the keys generated on steemit and their possible functions. It is note worthy that every user should possibly keep an offline or hard copy of these keys.
I have started mastering these keys, and their functions are well defined to me, since my mentor @davchi introduced me into the system, though I have not made use of all of them, but with all the available information I have on me,these keys persay are at the tip of my finger to be made use of.

Nevertheless, I have retrieve all my keys on steemit. The master keys, The memo keys, The posting keys and The Active keys.
*Yes I have learned and master the use of each keys and there importance.

  • Change they say is constant, cause of that I have already transferred all my keys to hardcopy drive and also to my personal email account.for better security purposes.
