Question 1
Have you retrieved all your keys on steemit?
It is strongly recommended that one should store or save a copy of his/her keys (password) offline because there is no way to recover it if forgotten or one loses it.
So in regards to that, I have printed all my keys and also saved it on my external hard disk.

Question2
Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?
There are four (4) UNIQUE keys

Master password
The master password is the actual password that you get after Signing up for the Steemit account and that is given by Steemit.

Owner key
The owner key is the most powerful key because it can change any key of an account, including the owner key.

Active Key
The active key is used for transferring funds, power up/down transactions, converting Steem Dollars, voting for witnesses, updating profile details and avatar, and placing a market order.
The posting key enables its user to publish a post, comment on a post, upvote, resteem and follow other Steemians accounts.
It is advisable to always log in to your Steemit account with your posting key other than your master password because the posting key restricts users from certain tasks, such as transferring funds, buying and selling Steems, and changing the other permission keys.

Question 3
How do you plan to keep your master password?
The importance of the master password cannot play with because it is used to generate all the other keys and can also be used to retrieve all the other keys. Therefore keeping it safe must be paramount. i have printed the key and also saved it on my external hard disk.

Question 4
Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another steem user account?
