Hello friends. This is another week of Newbies Innitiative. This is the post on 3rd week.This week's topic is very important. Its about hive keys and account recovery. Sir samostically@samostically explained all things to us very well.He is such a amazing teacher.

When we build a house, we build a door at the same time. The reason is clear. For security. Next we use lock. We use CCTV cameras to ensure extra security. Just like Hive e we need security. After locking the door, the key is in the right place should be saved. Also we should store the hive keys correctly. After locking the door, if the key is lost or falls into the wrong hands, the danger is just as certain, if our hive keys are lost or fall into the wrong hands, we will have nothing to do.


Best way to keep the keys safe


Hive keys are so important. So we must ensure that they are safe.

We have to save the keys in many places so that if one is lost we can collecte it from another sources .
We can store in both online and offline.But there are some issues in online storage.If we store them in online then there are chances to be hacked. But as the keys are so long and complicated so it is quite impossible for us to type it everytime .There is no way except we keep it in mobile.For this we can simply use note application of mobile which is in build.It is not connected with online.So this is more safe then keeping it in email or social media chat box.We must keep the keys in offline.We can use diary or papers. We have to write down the keys on paper and keep the paper in a place where no one can reach easily.
If we want to save the keys in online then must be kept encrypted so that you someone hack our devices then he could not get the keys.The benefits of keep online is there no chance to lost the keys.

We must be well acknowledged of the keys.So now we will review all the keys .What is purpose of different key.
Mainly there are 5 keys.Owner key,Master key, post key,Active key,memo key.Now individually we will learn about it.
