RE: Security Question. Whats the point of changing the codes for our permissions if everyone can see them using steemd.com?
Public and private keys go in pairs. So you need to have both. A hacker, if he breaks your private key, may change the entire pair of public/private into something new.
So the backing up is more retrieval purposes than security purposes. I think I understand. Thank you for your time.
