I learnt about hive security and hive keys

What is hive security

as @Bruno-kema defined it as a person been very conscious not allowing your keys leek, I also understand that those keys are meant for just the account owner.
He also made mention that those keys are five, the consist of

  • memo key
  • posting key
  • active key
  • owners key
  • master key

memo key

  • it is one of the least powerful keys because it has a less relevant function it functions are : it is use to send and view private messages

Posting key

  • This key is more important than the memo key this is because when you first got registered this key was need for you to start making post and it's still Important to the user in cases where you will need to change your mobile phone or your login device. You also need it to make upvote, reblog,

Active key

  • this is use to only power up or down You can also use it for your hbd conversation.

Owner key

It is one of the most powerful keys it can be used to recover your account should incase you forgot your login details.

Master key

  • It can be used to recover all the keys that's why it's called the master key it can't be seen in the hive wallet as oders you can only get it in the file sent to you by hive.

Account recovery

  • We where thought how to recover our account if it's hacked or if we forgot our login
    You need to attach you account to a trustee or change your trustee to someone you know you log unto the hive account recovery site there are three options you select the recovery account and follow the process

Tips on how to keep your keys safe

  • This has really helped me a lot this is because I have changed my phone severely.
    What you must do when you get your keys downloaded just sent it to your email and do a backup in so doing your key is secured.
