Hello Everyone
Welcome to Steem. When I first started with steem, I found myself very confused. Why do I have so many keys and what should I do with it.

nice post ...very useful
Thanks for this! You deserve an upvote! :)
Just up voted !!! This was actually really useful thanks so much !! 🙌🙌
hi @gaman. I really want to secure my account after the first three days of using it wrong.
But the master key that shows in my wallet is already different from the one I got the first day.
Does this mean my account is already compromised?
now I understand that what you see on the page is some sort of cover for the key.
Is the master key unchangeable? just the one you get for life, or is it to be changed.
It must be able to be changed, otherwise the thief couldn't lock one out. But I don't seem to have any option to change it.
I am still pretty confused, although I am certainly going to log out and then log back in with the posting key.
thanks for that much of a kick in the pants.
I finally got it together, have a new owner password, and am logged in with only posting key. Thanks for stirring me into action on this one.
It may be worth doing a more detailed post, although I am sure on exists somewhere.
You can create a post and share it with us!
lol, so much time has gone past that I have probably forgotten how to do it.
Goodness! And I thought the initial password generated by steemit was already a handful to copy down. Thanks for this post! It is really good information.
I need a real guide for steem power, ´cos Im very lost
Thank you for share,
The first step you give me I have done, for the next please guidance
@gaman
Heeyyy super helpful posts! It has been a little bit difficult for me to understand how steemit works, so I'll keep following your posts!
While I'm still a minnow, I hadn't quite taken seriously the consideration that someone might come after my account, but now that I think about it, if I ever become a dolphin or whale, it might make me more of a target, so better start playing it safe from now. Good tips, friend.
Didn't even know I could login with the posting or active keys...makes sense now actually.
Finished doing away with all digital copies of the master key, now just gonna use the other two.
Kudos to you for making this post and making this information known to us. Cheers m8, have an upvote =)
Gracias @gaman por tus sabios concejos, voy a estar pendiente de tus post para seguir aprendiendo, un abrazo amigo.
Awesome. So is the master password the one I am using now? Because I have not yet seen the private posting and private active? Really useful man.
You are such a nice person @gaman you are helping new person here your hospitality exceed any other. Thanks for this article of yours.
Nice
Thanks for the great and important security tips. Its super important to apply them
Speaking of security, there is a mobile application called steepshot. When I enter my password, it says invalid, and I do not understand because it is the same, the same code that was sent from the first time to my email. Who could help me with that?
I do not know if this helps, but the original password does not allow access to other apps. Try using your posting code to enter as password. I hope this helps

Thanks for this info sir @gaman, with this my account would be safe ^_^.
I wish I know this before my account was hacked. But know I regained it, I will try to be more careful now.
Thank you man, am a rookie and I have learnt a lesson from your tutorial. What an awesome write-up.

thanks for this helpful post
Thanks for the info
this is very useful article thanks!
Thank you sir! It is really helpful! :)
I was so busy getting my operation off the ground when you were making your first posts that I never got to upvote or esteem these articles and I wish I could go back and #resteeem old posts that are deserving such as this one @gaman!
Keamanan adalah prioritas utama, maka harus di jaga sebaik mungkin. Terima kasih telah berbagi
Thanks ! Very helpful.
Very helpful, thanks
Hi @gaman thanks for this post though I still have a few questions and would really appreciate some help with this.
The password that was given to me when I first registered - is that THE master password?
If the above is true then what is the difference between THE master password which was given to me in the beginning and the owner key listed in permissions? Also could they then be used interchangeably to do wallet transactions?
Also I tried logging in with my private key for posting & voting and I can still access my wallet and permissions?? Is there something that I am missing here? Because when I try to log in with the public keys it says that I need a private key to login. Can I just see my wallet but can't really do anything with it?
Thanks in advance for all the help
thank you, for warning key safe steem
Great post!!!
OMG! Thanks for that post.
I did the same mistake and logged in with my master key.
Thank you, thank you very much.

Hi Gaman.. am a newbie in cryptocurrency specifically steem. I just like to as.... which is better... converting sb to steem or just leave sb to grow without converting it to steem? What is steem? What does steem or steem power do to your upvotes or your reputation? I hope you enlighten me about these matters. Thank you.
