RE: Google Ads On Steemit Also Shown To Logged In Users

So which of the keys is more preferable to log into your steem wallet?

Sort:  

Steem_it_ wallet which is at https://steemitwallet.com/

When you're done getting your active key, posting key and memo key from it by logging into it with your master key once, you should use your active key to manage your token transfers, power downs, power ups or anything else that has to do with money. You should only use your posting key to post (or to comment) and vote. Never log into any website with your master key. Keep it offline as much as possible unless you have to change your master key or any of the other keys.

Please take great care in storing all you keys offline in a safe place where you don't risk losing access to them or having someone unauthorized access them. If you don't have a computer and only have a phone available, I recommend that you check on Google Play (if you have an Android phone) for any apps for storing passwords in a safe way on your phone. I haven't checked but I think such apps most likely exist.

I use a password storing program on my laptop. I have copies of the encrypted password files stored on different physical devices just in case my laptop breaks down.

Storing ones keys on a single device, or worse, only in a browser is asking for trouble. A memory stick is a good storage medium for an encrypted password file as long as it is kept in a safe place. This topic is very much worth looking into.

Thank you @markkujantunen. It is very clear to me now.
