Today we have lot of issues with cyber criminals and other internet based criminals and this people are working extremely hard to find ways to extort resources from people, they are just waiting for the slightest mistake or opportunity for them to strike and when given the chance they can bankrupt someone and even lead one to a state of depression.
This is the reason why we need to be the very first source of security in our lives and environment.
On Hive Blockchain people are trying their best to earn resource for themselves why some set are lazy and find pleasure in extorting or stealing from other people, this is one of the reasons why the blockchain decided to create various keys for various purposes on the blockchain and this key are handed to a user upon creating an account on the blockchain, this key are expected to be protected by the owner as treasures because they are actually treasures.
There are various ways to save you pass keys that it can't be easily accessed by anyone, such ways are;
1).Save it in your Gmail. Make sure your mail is secure and can only be accessed by you alone
2).Save as pdf and lock your pdf properly so that only you can access it.
3).You can write it in your diary but while doing so make sure no one has access to it too and if you are not sure if your diary is safe you can still write it but omit some letters that only you know what letters it is and where it has been omitted from.
4).You can also save it as a contact on your phone but here you will also have to omit some letters because it can be accessed by anyone.
These are some ways in which we can save our pass keys. There are still other ways but for now this is the best ways I know how to say my keys with.
If I decide to change my trustee account or recovery account I will simply go to my profile (my blog) beneath my profile picture there is a column for setting and beside it are 3 dots, I will click on the dots and a page will open with some options, I will select the key and permission option then from there I will have to select recovery account option on the next page and go down and change my recovery account to whoever I please to choose but it has to be someone I trust and someone I can easily reach out to when in need and he/she has proper understanding of the blockchain.
First of all we have 5 keys namely; Active keys,owner key, posting key and memo keys.
*Posting keys are used for posting,commenting and voting on people's posts, this has nothing to do with resource transactions (transfer of money). So if licked your funds are safe only that the person may use it to probably vote on his or her own post.
*Active keys, this has more access to monetary transactions on your account,like transferring of funds and tokens to other people. If exposed then your resources can be wiped out.
*Owner key This key as the name implies is made for you alone, it can be used to reset or recover other passkey/password.if exposed it can be used to strip you off your account as all your details will be changed.
*Memo keys This is a key used to send encrypted messages and also decrypt encrypted messages. It is hardly used.
When your Active key has been exposed the next thing you should do is beat to the chase by changing your keys before further harm is done to your account. If there are further activities that you can't comprehend, quickly reach out to your trustee so they can help you out.
I believe with this we now understand the reasons why we most protect our keys and Ways in which we can save our keys and also how to set or reset our trustee account from the default account to who we see fit.
Thank you for stopping by my blog.
