Achievement 2 @md-mohon: Basic Security on Steem
Hi friends, this post is based on securing the steemit account and use of the keys and also about the steemit wallet
Have you retrieve all your keys on steemit?
Answer:
You will be given five different keys (Master key, Owner key, Active key, posting key, Memo key)when you create an account in steemit.Each key must be used for different purposes.Out of these five keys, Owner key is capable of changing all the other keys but it cannot recover the lost keys but Master key is capable of recovering all the keys even the Owner key. So you must keep Master key very safe, if Master key is lost your account cannot be recovered.
