Hello Steemians, I'm @frankie97 from Cameroon. i will be talking on Steemit Security. Hope you enjoy and understand the write up.
Security is the protection of information or items from theft or any form of harm. As we can say Steemit security is to protect your account especially your keys and password from fraudsters to easily have access to it.

QUESTION1.
Have you retrieved all of your keys?
Yes I have. I copied and pasted it in a hard drive. The keys retrieved were;
-TRON Private key
-TRON Public key
-Private posting key
-Private active key
-Private owner key
-Private memo key
-Master key

QUESTION2.
Do you know each of the keys functions and restriction?
TRON Private key
This key is used to sign TRON transactions like transfering tokens and voting.

-Private posting key
This key is used to log into the Steemit app and perform social actions such as posting, voting, following and commenting.
-Private Active Key
Used for monetary and wallet related actions, such as transferring tokens or powering STEEM up and down.
-Private Owner Key
This key is used to recover an account which has been tempered with, which can be done within 30 days. It can also be used to reset your other keys.
-Private Memo Key
Used to encryt and decrypt private transfer memos.

Question3: How do you want to keep your master password save?
I wrote it down on a piece of paper and kept it where I can be the only person to access it.

Question4: Do you know how to transfer your steem to another steem account?
Yes I do. Thanks to @Saxopedia who introduced me to the platform and took out time to explain to me how it functions.
To transfer your steem to another steem account the following steps are been followed;
-Go to your steemit wallet, click into your login and enter your username and your private active key.
-Click on steem drop-down

  • Click on transfer, which it brings out transfer to account dialogue box,where you have to input recipients steem username, the amount to be transferred .
  • Click on confirm transfer page.
  • If you are sure of the transaction you can then click on OK. It will bring you to a page where the active key is.
  • Input the active key and click on sign, the transfer is done.

How to transfer your token from your account to a different account
You have to login into your account with your username and your active key password. Then you get to click on the arrow beside steem balance which you will then have to take transfer. After doing that,you can put the amount you want to transfer. Confirm the transaction and your transfer will be done.

How to Power up
Power up is transferring your liquid steem to your steem power. So in order to power up, you have to go to your wallet and click on steem. When the platform opens,you can then click on power up and then your Steem will get to be converted to power. After this process,you will be done with powering up.

Hello @frankie97
I love how you outlined the different keys offered to you on creation of your account. Happy you understood the functions of the different keys. I will love to point out that you can login to your wallet with your posting key. I advise you always used your post ting key rather than the active key. Your active key should be used only when u want to confirm transactions in your wallet.
Lastly, the question 4 and 5 is about transferring of token which you have explained meaning you have and understanding of it. Update with screenshot, same too with powering up your account.
