During the sign up process i was given some particular keys, which I would like to take some few minutes of your time to talk about them, as I have been able to to retrieve and save all these keys successfully.

The posting key: Steemit users should always use this key to log into their accounts' so as to enable account users to be able post, comment, vote, follow a fellow steemian and also unfollow someone, share and perform other functions on the platform.

The owner key: This key is said to be very important since it is used to recover a compromised account and it can be used to Change other key's password. It is said or adviced to be kept offline at all times. since it can help recover a password within 30 days at https://steemitwallet.com.

The master Password: During the sign up process the master password was given to enable the account users to generate the other keys.This password is advised not to be shared to anyone and must be kept secretly.

The Active key: The active key is used to monetary transaction like powering up and powering down steem, transferring tokens or converting steem dollars, voting for witnesses placing market orders and updating profile related details and pictures.
The memo key: This key is used to decrypt and encrypt memos in the transferring of funds process by using pound /# sign when encrypting a memo.
As these keys are very important to me, i have successfully printed out a copy of it which I saved as a PDF document during the sign up process, I have also saved them in my email. The keys are kept secretly from any other third party.
These are some practical illustrations of how l have performed and understood Transferring steem to other accounts and powering up.
