This was my post in Steemchat/help just now
Would someone please tell me how to get to all my keys, which to my knowledge are STORED IN THE WALLET, which now I need a KEY to access?
[I found a work around for this]
This has got to be the ULTIMATE offense to me; out of the blue, I find I am required to use a key I never had any reason to save anywhere, because it was SAVED IN MY WALLET?
It said "Ideally, it would be your posting key" to access my wallet. I just used my only key I had stored, my MASTER KEY, to access my wallet.
I did manage to make copies of the keys (that I am not sure are accurate) that showed there in my offline document, but this is all so totally unnecessary to me
from the new wallet
Any password or key is more likely to get compromised the more it is used.
(I've never used ANY key for ANYTHING because I STAY LOGGED IN) That's why Steem uses a hierarchical key system to keep you safe. You are issued with four keys which have different permissions.
For example, the Posting Key (which is intended to be used frequently)[NEVER USED IT BEFORE] has a limited set of permissions for social actions that require less security. You'll need to be more careful with your Active Key[NEVER USED IT BEFORE] since it has permissions to perform wallet related actions.
And NOW WE HAVE TO ENDURE ADVERTISEMENTS!!
this one is from last night, on my phone when I found I COULD NOT ACCESS MY WALLET
And now, unless I KEEP A SEPARATE TAB OPEN FOR MY WALLET, I must
SIGN IN EACH TIME I WANT TO CHECK ANYTHING IN MY WALLET!! OH MY GOD
So now Steemit is almost on level with the HATED FACEBOOK.
WELL DONE

Highly pissed off and disappointed user
