I am new here and there is a lot to learn i signed up for zappl with my master key before i even knew their were other keys to use, after i found out i was like man i hooe that password doesn't get compromised. Since then when signing up for other sites i do try to use my posting keys but most want the master key and since getting all these warnings i'm scared to use it so just don't bother signing up just ti be safe than sorry.

Don't wory, in time you will have enough experience to be able to tell if certain actions are safe or not. Also developers will be trying to make this realm a safer place by providing tools and solutions for safe authentication and authorization to various services on the Steem platform.
Thank you, one question if you would like to answer would you consider it safe for me to use steemconnect to log into busy? can't use the posting key to log in there need the active or master key.
While taking appropriate precautions - yes.
First make sure that you are really on a busy.org site by checking address bar of your browser, it should start with
https://busy.orgThen follow the link from the top right corner of a page. Make sure that's the link from busy site itself, i.e. not a link from someone's post.
Then you should be redirected to steemconnect. Again check your address bar. It should start from
https://steemconnect.com.It will ask you:
Important part is that it will ask you to authorize account
busy.app(no other) and yourposting role.So it will in fact be authorized to use only posting-key operations, but you need your active key to confirm that you are allowing this.
Here you can see details about what exactly you are authorizing
busy.appto perform on your behalf.Thank you so much you have been so kind to a newbie like myself i will not forget your kindness.
