Either paper wallet or a cold hard disk which you don't use and just put it somewhere.

Why a cold hard disk? Couldn't a USB drive do the same job? IMO, cold hard disk would pose a problem if it's quite old as it would be prone to hard disk failure. A new USB drive doesn't cost a lot while being portable and durable.

You could use new Multibit HD wallet. it is very secure and let you save your Bitcoins even on hardware wallets.

during this time I was quite safe never hacked or lost. just use blockchain.info and security use google authenticator (2FA) and its use is very easy Smiley
Even in coinbase wallet also they have the 2 factor authentication feature. I think this guy does not use two factor security. as you said best choice is this one only but I don't how many people are using this. let them do else they only will face risk from hackers

Make sure if you're visiting internet cafe, you're browse it with igcognito mode to prevent save cache that can be used by hacking purpose

I'm wonder how to recover if my 2Fa device got stolen or drop away unaccidentally ...

Some 2FA services offer users to have a backup on their server. They have to be very secure, if not, it's very hackable. Services like authy have this. Alternatively, most 2FA services have backup on the user's devices. If none of it works, the user can possibly just contact the support.

online wallet is just a temporary option. At least use electrum in my opinion. Online wallets however safe they are if the hackers got access from the inside then nothing can be protected

Hi,

Your best option is to have a paper wallet for storing long term, as long as you can keep it safe.

For daily use something like armory or greenaddress.it is best

Thanks

For long term, make an offline (heavily encrypted) .dat file and send the coins to that address. Offcourse paperwallets, yet you never know if your computer or the website you take it from is hacked. So for all options, a clean and fresh installed computer is the way to go
