Computer security, cyber security or information technology security (IT security) is the protection of computer systems and networks from the theft of or damage to their hardware, software, or electronic data, as well as from the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. It is essentially important as cases of cybercrime is on the rise and it would be really risky and costly not to take note of it. Due to this, as a member of the STEEMIT community, I too have taken necessary precautions, so as not to lose my account, thereby costing me my growth and membership on STEEMIT. I have read and learnt about my keys and its uses, and they are as follows;

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.

Active key - The active key was created for more sensitive tasks such as transferring of  funds, powering up/down transactions, the conversion of Steem Dollars, voting for witnesses, the updating of profile details and avatar, and placing a market order.

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.

Owner key - The owner key is the most powerful and most important 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. It should only be used when absolutely necessary.

Why is it important to know about the keys? 
It is important learning about those keys and it's uses because losing them such as the owner key entails that the account has been lost and cannot be retrieved, thereby costing the account owner his growth, progress and earnings on STEEMIT. 

Question 1
Have you retrieve all your keys on steemit?

Answer: Yes, I have retrieved all

Question 2
Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?

Answer: Yes, I do

Question 3
How do you plan to keep your master password?

Answer: I have written it down offline, and have saved it as a draft message on my google account. 

Question 4
Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another steem user account?

Answer: Yes, I do

Question 5
Do you know how to power up your STEEM?

Answer: Yes, by entering the desired amount i wish to power up or by directly tapping on the balance, then tapping on the power up button. 

@cryptokannon this is my post for achievement 2. Thank you for the guidance and information passed, it was really helpful.

Hi  Friend , I see around 50% of your article is with plagiarism. 
>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,

From [Original Source ](https://steemit.com/hive-172186/@nithishkumar/achievement-2-nithishkumar-task-basic-security-on-steem)
and 
> 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. It's the most important key.
[Original Content](https://steem.com/faq/#:~:text=Owner%20key%20%E2%80%93%20The%20owner%20key,to%20recover%20a%20compromised%20account.)

And please add the original sources of the images too.. 

Every thing else is really great ! I went through the whole article and answers are very clear .. Can you please update your post and resubmit again clearing these mentioned facts .. so I can quickly send you through achievement 2 for the next task
Thank you
