Really good article, thanks!
I made note of my keys and am now logged in with the posting key.
Just have one thing is unclear. The owner key that I found in permissions doesn’t work. When I try to login with it, I get the error message that it’s a public key!
I have resteemed this
Yes you are very much right.. Steemit received an update in which they removed the role of owner key. I cant believe that I missed that but i guess thats because i never use owner key.
Kindly re-read the post. It has been edited. You made a wonderful contribution and gave me the opportunity to make my post error free..
I will also give you the short answer here.. the owner key that you see now in permissions is just the public key to your master password. Means you cant use it login. So as of now, there are only 3 keys that matter :-
Please re-read the edited header of "owner key" and "master password" for detailed answer . Also re-read the diagram that explains the keys and their functions..
Once again, thank you for the contribution..
Great, thanks! It’s clear now!
Do you have any tips for me to store my master password? I’ve written it down but would also like to save it somewhere. The problem is that I’m on an Ipad and have no access to my laptop at the moment.
Hmmm.. my first suggestion would be to store it on a usb drive that does not remain connected to the internet.. but since you are on iPad, i would suggest that you should download secure notes application.. do not sync it to your iCloud. Create a note on it. Write your password on it without writing anything else like "steemit master password" etc.. Apply a password on the note that should not be your App store/icloud/email password.
You can also remove iCloud sync from your default Notes application and lock the note that has password on it..
