Achievement 2 @anwarullah01 : Basic Security on Steem
Assalam-o-Alaikum Steem Community!
I hope you are all doing well. I am excited to share my Achievement 2 post, which covers Basic Security on Steem. In this guide we will learn about the different types of keys and how to use them effectively.
Now, I will answer all the required questions:
1. Have you collected all your Keys on Steemit?
Answer:
Yes, I have retrieved all my keys in PDF format and saved them securely.
2. Do you know the main functions and limitations of each of these keys?
Answer:
Yes, I am well aware of the different keys used in the Steem blockchain and their specific roles. These keys include:
Posting Key:
Used for social interactions such as posting, commenting, voting, and resteeming.
Active Key:
Required for sensitive financial operations like transferring funds, powering up/down, and converting STEEM/SBD.
Owner Key:
The master key with full control over the account. It should be kept highly secure and used only when necessary.
Memo Key:
Used for encrypting and decrypting memos during transactions.
3. How do you plan to keep your master password?
Answer:
To ensure the security of my Steem keys, I follow a multi-layered backup strategy. I store encrypted copies in Google Drive and secure note-keeping apps. I also keep a backup on an encrypted USB drive stored in a safe, along with a handwritten copy as a last-resort recovery option.
