Based on the announcement post by @kronias , I have gone through the guideline post, which was presented by @prayzz in a Post
How to navigate through the Hive security keys on the hive Blockchain.
Actually am used to the #peakd settings, that's what I use in my day to day hive activities, so that's what I will be making use of, in showing the process of the hive key 🗝️.
Stage 1.
On your profile page, navigate to the icon with the three dots close to settings, then click on those dots.
Stage 2.
Once you click on the dots, it will navigate to keys and permission. Then click on it.
Stage 3.
From the keys and permission, you will navigate to reveal all keys,
then click on that option.
Stage 4.
From the reveal all keys, it will now take you to the last option. Which you will now input your master key, then all your keys will be revealed.
Here are the importance/functions of the Hive security keys on the hive Blockchain.
As we all know that security is very important, so we can be safe in what ever we do on the hive blockchain, most especially when it comes to Money. I will be talking about the different keys and the functions, which are Owner key, Active key, Posting key, Memo key and Master key. This to make sure the hive blockchain is safe for users.
Owner Key
This owner key is carry out transactions authorization on the hive blockchain. And it is also used for example, changing of keys, revoking vote, and sending token.Active Key
This Active key is used to authorize login to Hive accounts and also to recover hive accounts on the Blockchain.Posting Key
This Posting key is used for posting, voting, and commenting. posting key is for every social media activity on the hive blockchainMemo Key
This Memo key is used for the purposes of description of payments. It is used in sending encrypted memo.Master key
Master key as the name implies, it is used to recover hive account, login, transactions, and postings.
How to Secure your Hive Keys
I recommend cloud saving such as google drive. This will enable you alone have access to it.
So it doesn't go to a wrong person.
Avoid using your Keys on anyhow links on the website. Some website automatically saves your keys when you use your key on them.
And also make sure you don't giving your key to anyone, this keys are private keys just for you and your alone.
