Hello Fellow Steemians, hope your day has been good. I’m here again for my next achievement post on the 5 permission keys available in Steemit. Knowledge of these keys and their functions is very important to safeguard a Steemian’s account. Here are five questions I'll give answers to.

Question 1

Have you retrieved your steemit keys?

Yes I have and they are saved in my Google drive as backup in case my phone misbehaves

Question 2

There are 5 permission keys on Steemit. They include: the Master key, Active Key, Owner Key, Posting Key and Memo Key.

• Master Key: It is the most important permission key. This key is used to generate all the other keys(that is, it generates the active key, owner key, posting key and memo key).

• Active Key: It is used for transactions on Steemit. It must be well secured to prevent hacking/theft. Active key aids transfer of liquid steem and redeeming rewards on Steemit.

• Owner Key: It is the key used to recover compromised accounts. It is a very important key. Accounts that has been hacked or unauthorized access can be recovered using the owner permission key.

• Posting Key: This key enables the user to log into their Steemit Account. It is also used by the Steemian for publishing posts, editing posts, upvoting, commenting, following, etc.

• Memo Key: It is the key used to secure and decode messages, memos and transactions in the Steemit Account.

Question 3

How do you plan to save your master key?
Ans: I plan to do it offline since that's the best way to save my master key.

Question 4

Do you know how to transfer liquid steem to another user?
Ans: Here are the steps I took.

• I went to my wallet first of all and logged in with my username and posting key.

• After logging in, I clicked the drop down arrow close to my steem and then choose transfer.

• I then inserted the user I want to transfer to and then the amount.

• I then click on okay and confirm the details before putting my active key to process it.

Question 5

Do you know how to power up liquid steems?
Ans: Yes I do and below are the steps I took

• I went to my wallet and click the drop down arrow

• I then clicked power up and put the amount I want to power up and then I clicked Power up.
