# Working with Regular Keys
Assign regular keys to your account to enable you to sign most transactions with regular keys, while keeping your master keys offline whenever possible. A master key [compromise](concept-issuing-and-operational-addresses.html) can be difficult to recover from, while removing or changing compromised regular keys is a simpler task.

If you already have a funded account, skip this step.
A master account, such as the one created in step 1, must be funded before you can assign regular keys to it. Use the [`Payment`](reference-transaction-format.html#payment) transaction type to fund your master account.
An `account_id`, such as the one generated in step 1, is not an actual account until it is funded. The act of sending a [`Payment`](reference-transaction-format.html#payment) transaction to the `account_id` creates the account in the XRP Ledger and funds it. After the account is created and funded, you can assign regular keys to it. ***TODO: Still working on this...***
In the request, send the funder's `account_id` as the `Account` value, the funder's `master_seed` (private key) as the `secret` value, and the master account's `account_id` as the `Destination` value.
In the `Payment` request, send the funder's `account_id` as the `Account` value, the funder's `master_seed` (private key) as the `secret` value, and the master account's `account_id` as the `Destination` value. ***TODO: Does not necessarily need to be the master_seed that signs. Could be whatever key the funding account uses to sign transactions.***
