"warning, do not read this sign." Too late, lol.

Good advices, its very important to keep the private key private, thats why its called private, dont use it anywhere else besides steemit to assure you are safe.
Thanks for the information

Thanks for your call man

Thank you for the information and for the warning. I think that nowadays the security is the most important thing

Good call.  I have been on Steemit for a while and still not doing this.  Now that my account is worth more than pocket change need to tighten up on security.  

Just don't sic that dog on me man!  I'm on it.

This is really nice, really loved the explanation. 
It was just on point.

Thanks for sharing this very important information. I have read a lot about the scams going on and hope all the new users find this post before it’s too late.

Is the owner key and master password the same?

Thank you. Heard a lot of chatter about this in the last day or two and you happened to catch me at home on my computer, so i've updated my login.

I didn't even like logging into dtube tbh.
anything that asks or a code from another site seems sketchy to me.

I was just talking about this with some peeps in comments. I think a lot of new users need to be aware of this. Thanks for putting the word out, resteeming!

You explained this incredibly well. I think it will help many new members.

My husband @harleymechanix made me read this.  I'm new to crypto.  Steem popped my cherry!  Thanks for posting stuff like this and looking out for the newbies!

nice piece of reminder for all steemians that are new and old.  thanks.

Thanks!

Your post is really helpful .....got to know more about steemit.....thanks for sharing

@neoxian,
OMG actually this is the 1st time I got a clear idea about it! Thank you very much bro! Really useful stuff for us!

Cheers~

Time to change the password then. Thanks!

I am sending you a chat on Steemit chat with a question about owner key. Hope you can help clarify for me. :)

excellent post; I've been warning others but there are new users every day

Thanks a lot for sharing this with us.. I am relatively new to this community and I used to think Master Key is the only thing I need to keep safe. 

You just demonstrated what this platform is all about - Words have the power to express, share, help, empower and be used for all the rest of the right things in life! Thanks again! :)

Thanks for the info. I made a smaller mistake in this vein earlier in my steemit career. Thought I needed to put my posting key in a memo sending money to and from bittrex. 

Was my public key so no biggie, but at the time I had no idea everyone would be able to see it and could have gotten destroyed had it been a little different.

Thanks for educating folks.

THANK YOU!!!!! and Thank you some more for this advice. You definitely saved me from potential misery down the line. You are AWESOME @neoxian!

i never tried using them BTW thanks for sharing this advice i will avoid using them on other third party sites :)

Thanis for post!  I needed to read that and am going to make some changes immediately. Thanks again!

My lord. Just when I thought I was beginning to understand this intricate and technologically sound world just a little bit... THANK YOU, I HOPE YOU KNOW YOU'RE A LIFESAVER.

I am glad you write about this, many users of steemit especially the newbies fall victim of this. All keys are important for safe keeping.

Interesting! Thank you for the info!

yes of course, the most new stemians do not read the faq of steemit, overtou or technical details, and the notions of several type of password in a social network is casi unknown. even the warned users need a little reminder like this to change their passwords. thanks sir @neoxian you are awesome.

Thanks so much, I just was helping someone get back into their account.  I knew how to, but I didn't know why.

Thanks. So.. what to think about apps like eSteem ? They are asking your owner key to log. Personally I don't like that, but it seems well accepted in the community. What is your opinion about this ?

I didn't know much about these four keys. I do use a key (I don't know which one?!?) to log in into steemfollower.com and that's it. The rest is already memorized in my personal computer. 
Thanks for the info! You are always helpful

Thank you for sharing this. Upvotes n follow u. Hope u wil.
