Hi everyone all
Regards on all the Hive Learners community team. Responding to important notifications about Learning Stage 02 and is a mandatory task to complete for accounts whose reputation is 59 and below, so through this post I submitte my account for the verification process for Learning Stage 02 as shown in the attached instructions.
About Hive security lock.
Hive lock is a security system or password that is very different from other social media. There are 50 numbers as well as lower and uppercase letters in a random line of sentences in an algorithm. The goal is to keep the account free from theft and hackers.
Hive key is important to guarantee the life of an account.
I've kept it in some really safe place. Master Key is the primary key that is secret and private in addition to the other 4 keys in your wallet account. So, the Master Key must be really well guarded
How to find Hive Security key.
After my hive account is active with the Master Key, first I go to the Hive wallet account to find the 4 important keys, I select the Keys & permissions menu as shown in the image below.
What are the functions /permissions of each keys ?
Post Key
Post Key must be used for social networking actions, such as posting, voting, interacting in the post comment area, downvoting, reblog post, follow and can be used for other social networks supported by Hive such as Hive.blog, Ecency and esteem. Losing this Posting Key will not be fatal for your hive account.
Active Key
Losing an Active Key is a very bad thing! you will lose money (token). The active key is very sensitive because it can function for wallet account activities in carrying out monetary actions such as exchanging and transferring tokens, power up, powerdown Hive, HBD Convertion and Vote for a witnesses and create a new user.
Owner Key
The owner key is one of the keys that must be stored safely (offline) because its function is to change all other keys and also to recover accounts.
Memo Key
Although the Memo key is rarely used, it doesn't mean it's not important to keep it safe. Memo key serves to encrypt and decrypt a private message sent through the blockchain system.
Actions I take to keep Hive keys safe.
Computers, laptops, cellphones are not safe places to store these important keys. I've also printed and saved it in a special file outside the app/device. So, when one day all those devices are broken or lost, I can still have my Hive.blog account.
I hope that those of you who have just landed (newcomers) on the Hive Platform can take a moment to read this important article Learning About The Hive Keys & It's Security.
My hope is that this post will be a part or requirement for my account verification process for learning stage 02 in the Hive Learners Community. Thank you.
