  • Security is the process of protecting something from harm or danger. Basic security on Steem is the way we protect our Steem from danger of being hacked.

This tool allows you to retrieve (both Public and Private) Owner Keys, Posting Keys, Active Keys, and Memo Keys from Your Steem Master Password. Once you retrieve the keys, please do remember to close the window (or clear the output).

When you finish registering your Steem account, you're given your master password, a single complicated string of characters you need to remember to log in to your Steem account. However, in reality, your Steem account is protected by multiple keys/passwords which each have a specific purpose/usage.

At the end of this tutorial you will have learn how to recover all your private keys.

NOTE: If you don't manage your keys correctly, you are putting your account at risk. And If you get hacked you are giving them access to every key you own on Steemit.

Hello @okpalakenneth, how are you? If you allow me as a recommendation, I would tell you never to use or place any information about your secret keys on the network, even when you cross out that information, it is not recommended, welcome to steemit, I hope you enjoy it and have fun, Best regards.
