Title: I'm using two-factor authentication. Should I still be worried? Post by: bosco2010 on December 10, 2013, 03:23:10 PM So I use two-factor authentication on every bitcoin site where I have bitcoin stored. I also use password generators like this: http://www.random.org/passwords/
Should I still be worried? Are there any known incidents of people's accounts still being compromised? Anything else I could do to protect myself? Title: Re: I'm using two-factor authentication.

In case you have big amount, think about a paper wallet. It's most safe. Title: Re: I'm using two-factor authentication. Should I still be worried?

I also printed out the QR codes used to register at each site in case I lose my phone. Title: Re: I'm using two-factor authentication. Should I still be worried? Post by: investmentbtc on December 10, 2013, 03:55:10 PM I have been using two-factor authentication too and I'm also wondering if its safe. Too many scary stories out there right now.

Most secure would be a paper wallet, but 2fa is a pretty good alternative imo. I wouldn't store large amounts on any exchange for an extended period of time though. |
