I have recently made my first BTC deposit into my blockchain.info wallet. I have printed out a paper wallet. I have also had a backup created and I have downloaded the multi-bit desktop app to use the backup with if needed.

I created a 10 digit password and another longer digit double password for transfers. Double encrypted now.

From your experience, are my BTC still vunerable? If so, what steps should I use to secure further?

Thanks in advance.

Get a Yubikey. If you have a keylogger on your computer, you could be tripple encrypted with 20 character passwords and it means nothing. If you've got bitcoin, you basically need One time password devices. I use Google Authenticator as well as Yubikeys.

more or less retired.

Two factor authentication is must. If you do not have Google authenticator or YubiKey, at least enable email in two factor.

Cheers

Yes, you can have the hardest password in the world, it will be useless if your computer is compromised. A double authen with phone will prevent that to happen.


And can't be brute forced
