(I rarely use it) *** If you haven't found or saved the 4 keys, the first thing you have to do is open the swallow, then press keys & permissions, and you will find it there. **you can see an example below 👇**  ***  ***  <div class="text-justify">For security in storing passwords, of course everyone has their own way, and I'm sure everyone will consider where they think is safe to store their important keys, what people usually do is save in Google Drive, Email, and many others. and I also keep it in the one I mentioned above (Maybe).</div> *** <div class="text-justify">I think what I have said above is sufficient enough to be applied, especially for myself personally, and maybe for all of my friends, and it would be even better if there were other alternatives from other friends that might be even safer in in terms of security in storing password keys it is worth a try too. Together we provide input for mutual safety and progress in a community, in the end I would like to say thank you very much to all Moderators, especially to @prayzz and @kronias who have given very good directions regarding this stage so that I can understand it and now I've finished it.</div> <center>**THANKS**</center>
