Steem security will become easy for you to understand if you don't just read to post and earn ,but read to understand how it works make it easier for you to understand it's basic security etc

Posting key - The posting key allows accounts to post, comment, edit, vote, resteem, and follow or mute other accounts. Most users should be logging into Steemit every day with the posting key. You are more likely to have your password or key compromised the more you use it so a limited posting key exists to restrict the damage that a compromised account key would cause.

Active key - The active key is meant for more sensitive tasks such as transferring funds, power up/down transactions, converting Steem Dollars, voting for witnesses, updating profile details and avatar, and placing a market order.
Owner key - The owner key is only meant for use when necessary. It is the most powerful key because it can change any key of an account, including the owner key. Ideally, it is meant to be stored offline, and only used to recover a compromised account.

Memo key - This key is used for encrypting and decrypting memos when transferring funds. In order to encrypt a memo, use the pound/# sign before it
As a steemian you have to make sure you'd store your steem password on an online drive or flash drive ,and make sure you are the only one who can have access to it

Hello @elviskelvin, you have done great in taking the steps to complete your achievement 2, however, in the task Here it is given that you should answer the below questions:

  • Have you retrieve all your keys on steemit?

  • Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?

  • How do you plan to keep your master password?

For question 4 & 5: answer with image samples showing that you transfered and powered up steem.

  • Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another steem user account?

  • Do you know how to power up your STEEM?

You can do that by editing the post. Correct this so you proceed to your next task task and also receive vote from steemcurator03. Thanks

I look forward to your correction.
