This is the beauty of public and private key encryption. Any system can validate your signed messages using your public key (i.e. ensuring you used the correct private key), but they don't ever have to have access to your private key to do so. That's why if you lose your private keys, they are lost forever. No one has a backup but you. :)

yes, but how does the private key get sent to steemit, after you input it into the box? This is the part i still don't understand....where does that private key go? To what area inside of the steemit website?
