Following the announcement by @kronias and after understanding the tutorial given by @prayzz, the following information are what I was able to gather.
INTRODUCTION TO SECURITY KEYS OF HIVE
Security is a critical component of all institutions, social media platforms, and centralized and decentralized platforms, particularly in this era when sensitive information and assets may be stolen from anybody with a single click. It is critical to establish a secure means of storing and protecting data. As a result, same security measures are also available on Hive. The HIVE KEYS are what it's called.
IMPORTANCE OF THE HIVE KEYS
The importance of hive keys cannot be over emphasized because we all know what will happen to our accounts if it is not well secures, and that is what the hive key does for us. The keys in the hive are a mix of letters and numbers. The user is the owner of the keys and has the authority to use them as needed, but keeping the keys secure is paramount.
HOW TO LOCATE SECURITY KEYS ON HIVE
I followed the following steps;
STEP ONE
OPEN YOUR PROFILE AND TAP ON WALLET
STEP TWO
AFTER GAINING ACCESS TO YOUR WALLET, PROCEED TO KEYS AND PERMISSION BY TAPPING ON IT.
STEP THREE
TO SEE THE KEYS TAP ON REVEAL
FUNCTIONS OF EACH KEYS
It is very important that we know what the keys stands for and how they can be used to gain access to vital information on our accounts. Below are the functions of the security keys that the hive Blockchain provides for all its users.
The Posting key is the most prevalent key type, and it is used for posting, voting, and commenting. Using the "Posting" Key/Password, users can create posts and comments on their hive user profile while upvoting and following other relevant users.
The Active key is the second sort of key, and it is used for money/currency transactions. Except for upgrading the Owner Key, the Active Key has access to the account in the same way that the Owner Key does.
The Owner Key is the most powerful key type. Because it gives you entire control over your hive account, this is the most important Permission key. You have the ability to change almost every aspect of your account.
4.Memo Key: Only the memo key is utilized for Private Messaging, and it's used to encrypt and decrypt private messages sent and received through your hive account. This key, which was previously useful for reading and writing memos, is now mostly useless and can be ignored.
MEASURES OF PROTECTION
The following can help you protect your hive keys
SECRECY- Ensure that you and only you alone has the access to your hive keys. Do not share your keys with anyone be it your best friend or whoever they are. You never can tell the intentions of any human being.
AVOID ANY LINKS:Protecting your keys would necessitate double-checking the links you touch on as well as putting your keys in. Your keys are only needed for logging and executing transactions; otherwise, they will remain private.
OTHER MEANS OF STORAGE: Your keys can be preserved or stored both manually and electronically. Manually, you can get them written down in your private jitters that only you have access to and electronically, it can be saved on your email, stored on your Google drive or can also be stored on hardware.
Thank you for been part of my little sessions gathered together, and thanks to @prayzz for the tutorial on security. Hope we now know how to access our hive keys and ways in which will can keep them safe.
