Hello Steemians Community,
This is @simonnwigwe again, am here to present my second task "Achievement2 Task."
Thanks very much for your great support and encouragement on my first post on #introduceyourself, the much love, upvotes and healthy comment I got from this Noble platform. I really appreciate all that you did for me.
I feel very honored and proud to be with this amazing community. Today I wish to pursue my next task as new comer, as I am eager to know more. My Task today is about "Basic Security on Steem."
@simonnwigwe Basic Security on Steem
One would ask what is security? In my opinion, security is the fundamental rule one should obey in order to get protected from thieves, loss of property, saving ones life or accident. So, transferring this knowledge in steem is similar to protect one’s account from losses, hackers, compromising one’s account that can lead to discontinuity.
Having known this, it's very important to save the number of keys that one generated from steem as this is the most important for one to be secured in steem blockchain.
In view of these, I have retrieved all my Steemit passwords and saved them on my computer and Email. I also saved copies on my external hard drive.
We have both public and private keys as stated on the steem keys manual
I've learnt that there are five (5) levels of keys and permissions for which I saved the passwords. They are as follows:
(1) Master Key
(2) Private Posting Key
(3) Private Active Key
(4) Private Owner Key
(5) Private Memo Key
Then you have the Public Key associated with usernames and are not required for login on Steemit.com. No need to store them, either.
I have read and understood the functions and restrictions of these keys. I keep the blog post on Keys in a handy place so I can be able to refer to the notes often.
Why should I be careful with my master password?
The master password is used to derive all keys for your account, including the owner key. It is the most important key
Question 1
Have you retrieve all your keys on steemit?
Ans: yes, I have retrieve all my keys.
Question2
Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?
Ans: yes, I have
Question 3
How do you plan to keep your master password?
Ans: I plan to save it offline
Question 4
Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another steem user account?
Ans: yes, I do after clicking on the steem in my wallet you will see transfer, then follow the instructions that follow.
Question 5
Do you know how to power up your STEEM?
Ans: yes, I know how to power up. When I enter the digits, I tap on the power up button and it does so automatically.
Conclusion
I have just began my Steem journey. I would therefore want to learn and know more. Thanks to @cryptokannon, @elliamor1 and @josepha for their wonderful guidelines. I really found these tools by @cryptokannon very useful which is guiding me to learn more. I know by the time I finish with all the six(6) achievement tasks I would acquire more knowledge in Steem.
Thanks to everyone in Steem.
I Remain Eternally grateful for this privilege, I couldn’t have achieve these without you guys, may the Almighty God Bless and keep you all. Amen.
