## Howto Use

This newly created **download able** webpage generates new public private keys for you to secure your account.
The procedure is very simple:

* Download the offline generator on the bottom of this post
* Unpack the zip/tar.gz file and open up `dist/index.html` in your browser
* Provide your account name
* Provide and confirm your password

The page will generated **four** new keys for your (owner, active, posting memo).
After creation of your new keys, you should print out the page and write the password on it with a pen!

You can change the keys on your permission page:

## Recomendation

[First read @pfunk's excellent article.](https://steemit.com/steemit-guides/@pfunk/a-user-s-guide-to-the-different-steem-keys-or-passwords)

I **highly** recommend that you generated a

* distinct key (with a simple password) for **posting** (so that you can comment, post, and upvote)
* another key for **active** permissions (for transferring funds and trading) and
* a very secure **owner** key that you can recover your account after loss of any of the above keys!

Put at least the printed **owner** key into a safety deposit box and make sure to have it printed out multiple times!!

## Notes

* Do not mix the types/authorities, if you pick the private key from the posting key, then only use it as posting key, nothing else.
* The source code is open to be audited and verified by anyone. I have signed the commit with my private GPG key for everyone to follow and see my identity. I mean you no harm :)
