How to keep your crypto wallet safe?

[Grandeur]

I personally use the strong suggested password that chrome provides and keep it in the app, and I'll need to provide a two factor authentication code to gain access to it which makes my account safe

 

[Emmy]

I also make use of two factor authentication to lock my crypto wallet and I don't even release my device to anyone. I always make sure I'm around when anybody wants to use it. I kept my code in a saved place which is private

It is of top priority for you to use a very strong password for your wallet and also keep your seed phrase very safe where no one can be able to see them easily.

I read an article recently I think these morning or so, the writer made mention of how storing or saving our crypto on exchange plathfrom like binance and the likes is not actually safe, that It is safer to store it on a hardware wallet.

The best way I think one can secure his/her crypto is by applying the two step verification, even it's very effective when it comes to social media accounts and any other online stuff.

For now I don't have crypto wallet now but it is very important to have crypto wallet, and it is very good to have a strong password to avoid hackers.

 

[Setho]

There is what is now known as two-factor authentication which allows you to use your password and another means of verification before you can access your account.

You should always apply the two factor authentication for all of your cryptocurrency wallets. You may find it very stressful to do, but it only takes once to get it done and stay safe for long

No matter what you do, you are always prone to lose your crypto assets if you are storing your crypto currencies on wallets and exchange platforms. Wallets and exchanges are prone to hacking. Use a hardware wallet instead.

If you are depositing crypto currency for a long term, you should always use a hardware wallet, however, if you use crypto currency frequently use a hot wallet like smart phone wallet or web wallet.

You said it all , what I want to add is that as you are about to enable two factor authentication , you should ensure that the email to be used is not compromised ,so that you wallet won't be at risk.
Secondly , you need to avoid downloading wallet update from sites that are not trustworthy because it can be used to hack your account

That's why using the popular choice exchange or wallet platforms are the best, due to the security you get for your coins long time. Because, they aren't easy to be broken down totally by malicious hackers.

If you want to keep your cryptocurrency wallet safe then you should avoid telling other people your seed phrase. In case of password protection you should use strong password with a combination of both letters and numbers.

 

[HayKay]

One thing I always do for all my passwords not only my crpyto wallets' is to make sure I have alphanumeric characters in the password combination as well. That way, it's less easier to get.
I also back up my private keys on Google docs or other cloud storage.

Thanks. A lot of people at the same time are using their smartphone for investment in cryptocurrency for long-term purposes , don't you think it is the best option or is there any implications ?

The two factors verification has really helped me in so many occasions. This is one of the features that prevent people's wallet from being hacked by the bad guys on the internet

This allows you to set a password and lock your coins whenever someone attempts to access your account. The hacker won’t be able to steal your Bitcoin unless he knows the password you set.

 

[Emmy]

Keeping your code safety is the best and always freeze your wallet app on your device in order to prevent outside from seeing while with your device. Thus I keep my own safe in the freezer where it won't appear as an icon on phone.

Apply two-factor authentication security code and avoid unnecessary login in other people's device. Always observe security notification on unnecessary logins from other devices and create a strong password

 

[Bigron]

- Apply two-factor authentication, also known as 2FA.
- Create 16+ characters; a strong password generator would be perfect. Ensure you remember the password and store it somewhere safe.
-Keep your recovery pass phrase safe. If you lose access to this, YOUR FUNDS WILL BE GONE.

Anyone else has any other suggestions?

I completely concur with your assertion. It's a good idea to use special symbols in your passcode, while making sure that it is easy for you to memorize.Your protective barriers must also be strengthened by turning on two-factor
authentication .
