@rentmoney when I opened hive blockchain account using ecency,when the keys are been generated,there was one called the MASTER KEY but I hardly use it.Even in other frontends like peakd,hive.io,and the rest,the only request for either posting key or active key.my question is,is the MASTER KEY not important?

It is the most important.

Owner Key/ Master Key can recover your account. It can be used to change the other keys. It's best to use the posting key when doing social actions like posting and commenting. Use the Master Key/ Owner Key sparingly. Store it offline somewhere just in-case you need to recover your account/ update your other keys.
