How do you store/secure your keys
Ans:-
Here we are taking about how to save ours keys from the hands of unauthorised person. All account are private and secure if we make it. When we make a account then we make a strong password to secure account. In the modern era there are many types of account according to our requirements. Some account have third party option. For example if we have lost our password then this third party will give you your password to access your account in the case of password lost. But another side some accounts didn't have third party. If you lost your password on these account you will lost every single things on your account. In this case you would have a secure option for your password. Like you will write your password on a page.
To secure our password, I usually store them on several devices that I frequently used, examples of devices that I often use are smartphones, PCs, and hard disks. Smartphones, PCs, and hard disks are electronic items that are not free from damage, to anticipate that I also put them in a some kind of notebook that I keep at home.
Question 2:
What are the different forms of PrivateKey(Examples/Screenshot)?
Ans:-
Private keys have 3 kinds or forms, Mnemonic, Private Key, and Key Store File. Below I'm going to explain these three forms of private keys.
1:
Mnemonic
Mnemonic key is not same, it will in different types like music Mnemonic, Name mnemonics, Expression or word Mnemonics, Model Mnemonics etc. Mnemonic keys appear in the beginning stage of creating account of tronwallet. These Mnemonic keys consist of 12 random and different work. It is really good thing. We can write this 12 word on some kind of note book and save it in our secure place of our house. We can also make a backup of these keys on our PCs, smartphones and our hard disk. And also make a picture and save it on our electronic devices. As you can see picture of example.
2:
private keys
Private keys are not same as Mnemonic keys. Private keys are dependent on different types of word like uppercase, lowercase, number and special marks etc. This key is really difficult to understand and memorize it. It requires more secure place to save it. It is a combination of different types of word which are not in rendom form. Below a example of this key.
3:
Key Store File
This file is more difficult to memorize or write manually then privet keys.Because the key store file consists of numbers, letters, brackets, periods, and other signs. Not that it can't be written manually, but it must be written very carefully without missing anything. This key store file is stored on another device as you know. If you want to save it outside the device, it is better to print is the best option for save it.
Download & Install TronLink Wallet(Android/iOS/Extension)(Examples/Screenshot)?
In this Question I will briefly explain you. How to download tronlink wallet on our android phones. I hope you will understand it. Let's start.
1; first of all go to your playstore app and open it. After this you will see a search bar or engine. Here write tronlink wallet pro. As you can see in screenshot.
After search you will see a app named tronlink wallet pro as you can see in screenshot.
After the installation go to the app and open it. After open you can see there are three options. First one is yellow one is created account used if you don't have a TronLink Wallet account, the blue Import Account is used when you already have a TronLink account and want to use it again, and the third Cold Wallet is used offline. As you can see in screenshot.
After clicking on create account you will see a user agreement which is too long. Scroll down and see a botton of accept agreement. And now you will see a field which requires a name what you want to appear on your account.
In the next stage a new field is available which want a password according to your taste. Which can remember by yourself. I always suggest you a password which is familiar with you.
In password section you need to write a uppercase letter, lowercase letter, a number and almost 8 characters. After this they required to retype your password.
After all app will give you a Mnemonic keys which is very important. Don't forget to save it and remember it. You can not take a screenshot shot of your Mnemonic keys. You need to write it on a hard or soft paper.
Question 3:
How do you store the key(Hint- write it down on a notepad, demonstrate it with examples)
Ans:-
It was given in the form of the mnemonic private key by app that I got during registration on the TronLink Wallet application. I saved by writing directly on notes and other devices. I save on another device the way I write it I take a photo. I will put it on the PC and also the hard disk.
I will show you a photo of my Mnemonic keys.
As I told you a example of Mnemonic keys here you can see the same keys as I found on tronlink wallet pro during creating my account. But still remember it and save it on your safe place.
Question 4:
Which form of the key are you comfortable with to handle your TronLink Wallet?
Ans:-
During my study and research I feel that the Mnemonic keys is best to use and remember. It is easy to memorize because it consists of simple words but others are very difficult. Others are consist of different words like number, letters and uppercase words.
Conclusion
I have learnt a lot here, about private keys which are divided into three forms. The second is very important to back up your keys to avoid losing and forgetting my keys.
