I'm very much happy I was welcomed on the platform. I did my Achievement 1 and here's my achievement 2 task on basic security in Steemit. I'm answering 5 important questions to test my understanding of my Steemit keys and transactions in my wallet.

Question 1

| |- >Have you retrieved your Steemit keys? Yes I have done that. I retrieved my steemit keys and saved the pdf in my Google drive.

Question 2

| |- >Do you know each of these key's functions? Ans: I know their functions and they are; - **Master Key:**: A master key is a key which will open all the locks in a set, even though each lock has its own different key. We can use master key in opening doors, and devices in steemit app. - **Posting key**: Posting Key can be used to log into steemit account, it can only be entered for an account type which is permitted for that document type. It can be used in performing social media activities or like commenting, engaging in online marketing, and creating of content for financial purposes. - **Active key**: This particular key used for transaction, and it's operated through a network of computers. It is known for its transparency and and decentralization which makes steemit a legit platform that will last for a lifetime. - **Owner key**: this key gives you owner the permission to your accounts. Having ownership of your own account. Exposing your owner key may lead to your account either steemit account or other account to be compromised. - **Memo key**: is specifically used for private messaging and receiving messages in steemit account.
