in Newcomers' Community3 years ago (edited)

Good Morning everyone I am here to make my achievement 2 post, so I am moving to the next achievement level and with time. I shall be fine with all the achievement level.

A friend of mine @duckyextra helped to creating my account . I remember during the process of my account creation he told me about a file he download which contains different keys and he told me to keep it safe, he was even like I shouldnot keep it online that I could write the keys in a book and never lose that book and I did exactly what he said.

Question 1

YES.

And I have saved a copy of all my keys offline.

Question 2

YES OF COURSE

To begin with, the posting key, it allows accounts to post,comment, edit, vote, resteem, and follow or mute Different accounts. One thing is more likely to have your posting key compromised more you use it so an limiting posting keys exists to restrict damage that a compromise account keys would causes.
Secondly the Active key is meant for more sensitive tasks such as transferring funds, power down/up converting transactions steem dollars, voting for witness, updating profile details and avatar, and placing a market order.

Lastly the memo key, is used to decryting and encrypting memos when transferring funds. In order to encrypt a memo we use the pound #/ sign before it.

Question 3

Master password is an important key. It is used to generate all the other key including the owner key. The only way I plan to keep my master password is offline in a safe place.

KEYS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS

There are different types of keys And its different uses

posting key

master key

owner key

active key

memo key

master key
Like the name " master" master key is the most powerful key that can be used to generate all other keys like active,owner,posting, and memo keys. it is the most important of all keys and must never be shared.

posting key

The main importance of the posting key is to log into steemit account .It is also used for activities such as posting, commenting editing and voting.

active key

This key is used for important things like transferring of funds, for powering up or powering down, conversion of steem dollar (sbd) to steem.

owner key

This is a very important key .It is used resetting all other keys including the owner key itself. This key must be kept offline so people won't get access to it.

memo key

This key is used for encrypting and decrypting memo when transferred funds to other users.

NOTE:

  • there are some keys that's perform the same function like the owner key, the active keys and the master key are also used for a same function like conversation of Steem $ to steem And the posting key can also be used to get other keys. but not master key because, you log in to your steemit account with your posting key and the fact is that you are online on steemit
