It's common and good practice to use a unique, strong password for every website. I use keepass to manage my unique and strong password. Changing your password regularly might make your account look like it was hacked... Sounds silly, but changing your password might actually make you look less trustworthy in some people's eyes. I know SMF (the script used for this forum) doesn't have 2FA included, but in a while, bitcointalk will be migrated to epochtalk, so i hope 2FA will be an option in the future.
Tips to avoid getting hacked/scammed on this forum would include: - when doing business, always check out the trust feedback of your businesspartner - when doing business, always check if your business partner changed his password (not a good sign) - when doing business, always ask for a signed message, signed with an old, staked address - when doing business, always use an escrow - double-check the url : h t t p S : / / b i t c o i n t a l k . o r g - avoid doublers, HYIP's, ponzi's - don't gamble more than you can afford to lose - if a deal looks to good to be true, it usually is - check any external website: search the forum and use google for reviews, see if the whois info is hidden, look for contact info, lookup the company in it's country's company database, look for pictures, use google maps, ask advice on this forum,... - listen to the advice of trusted members... Guys like Vod, lutpin, mexxer-2 can be really stubborn, but they're usually correct when spotting a scammer - always be extra carefull with reversible transactions, including paypal or accounts that can be re-claimed trough social engineering
