Hello friends on Steemit, how have you been? After a long while, I wish to start again with my acheivement 2 post to help me understand all that Steemit is all about so as to do better on the platform.

Question 1:- Have you retrieve all your keys on steemit?
Yes, I have received my Steemit keys. The day i was registered in the platform, my mentor helped me out in iy received and I was advised to keep them very safe them and guide them, i also did i s i was informed . my keys was stored offline and also i saved it as draft in my email address and i surely know that this can be very safe. I also printed it out and laminate it

Question 2:- Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?
Yes. I spentva lot time to study the keys and what they are used for Bellow are they keys and what they are meant for

• Posting key:- This key is the basic key of the Steemit platform, which is basically used in signing in and perform various actions like, post , it is also to resteem post , vote, freeze an account, join communities etc.

• Active key:- Active key is a Steemit key, that is normally for runningtransaction on your steemit wallet. It can be use to transfer steem sbd and also, if you want to power up, you will need to log in your active key, so that you can be able to poser up or transfer tokens to another user on steemit platform.

• Memo key:- This key is simply used when encrypting or decrypting a memo.

• Owner Key or Master password:- This is the most important of all the keys in a Steemit blockchain. This is because it can be used to change other steemit keys and can also be used to change the owner key itself. it can also be used to recover a lost account. For these reasons, this key is very important and should be protected with utmost care.

Question 3:- How do you plan to keep your master password?
Well, since our keys can not be recovered and the master password serves a the parent of all keys, so it need to be secure. So for me, i will secure my master password by saving it as draft in my email address, then also , i will print it out and laminate it then keep in a very safe place
