Good morning steemians. It's a pleasure writing my Achievement 2 after completing my Achievement 1 task. Thanks to @ngoenyi who verified me and thanks to @steem-history and the rest who welcomed me dearly and encouraged me to join their community. Achievement 2 task is basically on security in steemit and how we can use those five permission keys effectively.

In the course of this task, I'll answer the question as to how one can transfer liquid steem to another user, how he can power up his liquid steem to his savings, and the functions of those permission keys. What is security?

Security

Security is the act or measures taken by official bodies, members of a community and others to protect what rightfully belong to them from unauthorized users or access. Steemit as a whole is a platform that has encryption keys to protect the account of its members from unauthorized users. Steemit has five permission keys which are;

• Master
• Active
• Posting
• Owner
• Memo key

Master key
This is the key that is master of all keys which controls other keys. If lost, the account is rendered useless.

Posting Key
We make use of this key to create quality content, upvote, downvote, commenting on post then when we want to perform transactions, it is the posting key that will help us access your wallet.

Active key
The private active key is a very important key and is mostly use in the transactions like transferring liquid steem and powering it up.

Owner key
We make use of the owner key in changing other key if they owner of the account want to.
