RE: What if today was the day you realised that you have lost your Master-Passwords & Keys for your STEEM-ACCOUNT?

Thank you fyrstikken!!

Ok, so you just got me to double check everything. And you reminded me that I have no clue which passwords to use when.
First, I have everything saved and also everything printed ON PAPER! EXCEPT, I can't seem to get my Active Private Key. when it says to LogIn it won't accept my gardenlady login. I'm hoping it really doesn't matter.
Second, when do I use these different keys.? I just want to log on (which I do), and post and upvote (which I do) , oh and Power Up (which I do). I'm not going to Power Down until Steemit reaches the moon :-) so I'll worry about all that on down the road!

Anyhoo, So I have
Posting/Public and Private
Active/ Just Public
Owner
Memo
and
Master

thanks again. g-lady

to see your active key, you must sign with your owner key.

thanks!
What I still don't understand is which key to use for what. So many keys!!

[fyrstikken]

These are the Keys you should use:

• Private Posting Key = Post, Comment & Vote for Posts & Comments ONLY
• Private Active Key = Money-Transfers, Internal Trading & Witness Voting ONLY

Those are the ones you should save and use.
The Master-Password/Owner-Key should never be used unless you have to reset your other keys or you sell your account as any key can be snapped up by a "man in the middle" on a week day.

Be safe & Steem On!
