Apart from defining how this this various keys work's, I have practical used them with the help of my mentor @talktofaith from the day I signed in to steemit decentralized social media, we are not at the same geographical area when she registered me, so she sent me the link through instructions I got my master key password which i used to login to my account. I equally login to my wallet, l practiced on transfer of fund's to another user, by using my active key. I equally practice on how to create memo for Transfer's. When I login to my account I clicked on the steem dollar drop down arrow and I clicked on transfer i put in the person user name who I want to transfer to and the amount i want to transfer, I create a mamo and submit then use my active key to confirm it.
