RE: Steem private keys analogy

in #steem • 8 years ago (edited)

Those are some nice ways of picturing this whole thing. It sure can be very confusing for new users.

I think when I did the translations, I described the owners key as the "main" or "house key", though I'm not entirely certain right now..

    Yeah, owner key is 2nd top priority that needs to be backed up. Many here has main password which should be 1st priority to back up, because it can change all other keys. 2nd is owner key, in case you lose main password you still can maintain ownership and change other keys...

    Yes, I may not have any main password myself... at least not that I'm aware of anymore. I use my posting key as much as possible though and have the ownerskey in safe storage.
