HAVE YOU OBTAINED AND SAVED ALL YOUR PASSWORD FROM STEEMIT ?

Yes all my keys related to steemit was obtained through pdf and automatically saved it using my usb drive it was also save in my web cloud for security purposes.

DO YOU KNOW ALL THE RESTRICTIONS AND USE OF YOUR STEEMIT KEYS ?

There are, posting keys, private active key, owners key, memo key and master key.

• Posting key
  Posting key is a key that is being used when ever I want to post a content, it is a key that enables me to access my steemit account then it also the key that I use in starting transaction because without it my steemit wallet can not be open and we used this key in doing thing such as to upvote post, comment etc.

• Private Active key
  This tye of key is being used only in the steemit wallet and is used when you are about to complete transaction you will be ask of it, and by this it means without this key transaction is incomplete, some of the things this re are use for is when an individual wants to power up and also transfer steem or sbd from one steemit account to another.

• Owner Key
  To individual that normally frequently change their keys for security reasons it is the owner key that is being used for this purpose.

• Memo Key
  The memo key though always ignore is being used to encrypt and also decrypt memo and you will see this when transaction is being made, it also used to put the purpose of the transaction

• Master key
  This key is the first key that I made use of in the process of signing up, it is a key that is being used in steemit in obtaining other keys and it requires so much security as other keys do.
