Achievement 2 @mabubakar966 Task : Basic Security on Steem

in Newcomers' Communitylast year

Greetings, dear Steemians,

I am @mabubakar966, and today, I'd like to explore the topic of essential security measures on Steemit, a requirement for my Achievement 2.

Security is of paramount importance in the Steemit ecosystem. Steemit is a well-fortified platform dedicated to ensuring the safety of its users, their confidential information, wallets, and other critical assets. This protection is achieved through the implementation of a series of specialized keys, each serving distinct functions.

These keys can be grouped into five main categories:

The master key
The posting key
The Memo Key
The private owner Key
The active key.

Question 1

Have you retrieved your Steemit keys?

Certainly, I've completed that task since it's securely saved on my device in its PDF form.

Question 2

Do you know each of these keys functions?

Yes I know there functions and values, described below:

  • Master key: The master key is utilized to create and manage all other keys. It holds the utmost significance and should not be tampered with under any circumstances.

  • Posting Key: The posting key is in frequent use, serving to log in, generate and publish content, engage in post comments, cast votes on posts, connect with fellow Steemians, and participate in communities. It proves to be an incredibly adaptable key.

  • Active Key: This key serves as the gateway to your Steem wallet and facilitates all financial transactions on Steemit, including Steem transfers, powering up, and other monetary activities.

  • Private Owner Key: Think of this key as your safety net. Its primary purpose is key recovery, allowing you to regain control in case of any mishaps or losses.

  • Memo key: This key is employed for the encryption and decryption of messages.

Question 3

How do you plan to store your master key?

I've securely stored my master key in a PDF file in my USB. This approach provides me with confidence in their safety.

Question 4

Do you know how to transfer?

Ofcourse I know,
I have described it step by step below:

First I will login to my steemit wallet. There I will click on my Steem amount and below it will show me a dropdown, which will have different options and among them there will be an option of transfer I have to click there.

Well, when I click on transfer, a section will show in which I have to write the username of the user I want to steem send, then I have to write my steem amount, and then I have to give a memo about why I'm doing it. And after that I'll click on Next.

After that I have to click OK to confirm.

To complete the transaction I have to paste the username and my active or owner key and then click sign in to complete the transaction.

And after that I will write my amount and then I will click on power up.
