A few words about private keys and addresses:
Bitcoin and Ethereum private keys are both 256-bit random numbers, and both use the secp256k1 elliptic curve.
Think of an address as a receiving account and a private key as the only credential for accessing the funds: you can share your account with anyone, but only you should know your private key.
Avoid exporting your private key if possible. If you absolutely must export it, don't paste it into an online notepad.
