It's not preferred to use your master key unless you have no other choice than that, and it's for the security of your own account. Not only for MSP site, never use your master key anywhere else.

Hi @katteasis ! Thanks for replying! I honestly still am confused however. :( It is my understanding that we should never share our private keys anywhere, ever, and I get why that is important. But, it is the PRIVATE posting key that is needed to sign into mspsteem. I don't see how using one of my private keys to sign in could be more secure than using my master password. Maybe I am still missing something? I would really like to understand the logic here. If you can point me to somewhere that explains, I would be very appreciative!
Your master password is the main key for your account. If anything happens to it then you may not get your account back. Posting key gives posting authorization only(like post,comment,vote), and can't be used for fund transfer,so your funds are safe anyway. However using master key gives all the access, if a hacker get that then..?
