IMPORTANT !! You're going to go to Steam. Keys and Security

As time progresses the security of our Steemit account is paramount, today we will learn to use our keys wisely.

Many of us enter this financial ecosystem believing that there is only one password, and we use it for everything.

Well it is not exactly like this, when they give us our account we have the possibility of using several different passwords.

Why do we want so many if one is enough?

 

Well, we must also remember that it is not just a social network. We have our money in it, so we must take care of it using different encrypted passwords. So that we do not pass penalties when entering an external platform or simply enter steemit on an external computer.

 

Why knowing how to use the keys of the wallet (purse) will improve our security?

 

Let's Take an example:-

What happens if we get a lot of attention from an application linked to Steemit, this asks us to use our active key to enter. But the functions of that application has nothing to do with transactions or claim rewards suspicious? Some platforms can get to pose as officers and ask for passwords that are not relevant. To avoid misfortunes, we are going to use them according to what we are going to do and always investigating first if within their history they do not have a bad reputation.

 

What are our passwords?

 

Posting / Publishing.- We can use it to post, give upvotes, follow and comment. (This key will suffice for the majority of applications linked to Steemit)

Active / Active.- Used for transactions

Owner / Owner.- Reset the previous two

Memo.- It allows us to see the encrypted messages that we receive in our portfolio.

 
Safety is first, there will be many people who try to be clever with us, we must be careful if we want to progress in Steemit.  

We also have to be very alert with phishing, with the identity impersonation of the window that asks us for the key when accessing our account, many users are being victims of the theft of passwords without the possibility of recovering their money. 

 I hope you have liked it and that it will serve you for a future, try to pass the information with your loved ones so that they do not lose any penny .
