Hello dear friends, good night wherever you are. How are you tonight?. I hope you are all in good health and always successful wherever you are.
Tonight I'm back to complete my third assignment as a beginner which was published a few days ago by @newbies-hive. There are three questions that must be answered by beginners.
Make a summary of what you learnt from the tutorial post
In your opinion, what are the best ways of keeping your keys safe?
How do you check your recovery account and what process is needed to recover an account?
In the tutorial written by @bruno-kema there are 5 different important keys in Hive. Given the key is very important, so we have to keep it a secret no one knows the key. We are the only ones with access to the account.
Here are the five keys in the hive and their uses.
MEMO KEY : this is a key that is used only for viewing and sending private messages.
POST KEY : this is a very important key in hive blockchain. With this key you can make posts, comments, upvotes and reblogs.
ACTIVE KEY : this is a key that has more uses than other keys. This key can be used for HBD conversion, voting for witnesses and powerup/down.
OWNER KEY : this is the most powerful key in hive blockchain, it can recover other keys and even recover accounts.
MASTER KEY: this key is used when recovering a lost password, only this key will be requested during the password recovery process. You can see this key in the pdf file that Hive sent you the first time you created an account.
How to find the key on the blockchain.
Open the wallet in your profile.
Next you click Keys and Permissions
I keep it in a place that I can access at any time. These places such as email, Google Drive, and in other applications that I think are safe cannot be accessed by others. If you want to save it in a place like I mentioned, make sure you use the password for the application as well. Maybe someone touched your cellphone and wanted to open it like an email application. Then use the password in the application to be safe.
If your account is lost or someone has hacked your account, then do the following steps to recover your account.
The only way to recover your account is to contact the trustee. Send your old key to a trustee so they can assist you in the process of recovering your account. Every guardian you choose is of course someone you can trust and not just anyone.
If you are still confused about your guardian, please visit this site https://hiveblocks.com/@username. To recover your account, follow these steps.

Click "recover account".
Follow the instructions as described there.
Send the public owner key to the trustee.
In the last step enter the required details and click on recover account.
Make sure you keep your keys in a safe place and easy to find in case something happens.
