Yes, nowadays hardware wallets are pretty good in security, safe to keep and very easy to use.

the best way is to have an hardware wallet, like somebody already pointed out, ledger wallet is also a pretty cheap solution to keep safe your BTC.
Even if you lose it, get burned, stolen with your recovery password (usually 12/24 words password) you can easily get a new one and recovery it just by putting the password and you are back on track.
On the other hand, if you lose your password you screwed yourself, better to carve it in stone to be 200% safer Smiley

no. one thing to remember is not to share your password,
two is limit posting your wallet accounts into pages, only send it to people whom you are making transaction with.
three is changing your password every month or annually or quarterly.

Hope this help.

Blockchain  main wallet 3 tier security is enough for me
1. sms verification While login
2. Email verification while login from new ip.
3. Google autho. Code Time based. App

After three steps i will get authority to login my account . these all settings you can find in setting option.

Best are to use hardware and offline wallets if you are holding for long term. But they are not convenient for making everyday transactions. If you wish to hold some coins for everyday transactions like for trading, move them to  a hot wallet. You can use your desktop wallet as a hot wallet. Make sure your computer is free from malware and virus. And don't forget to backup your wallet.

Even if there are some online wallets that seem to be safe , I'd rather recommend offline wallets / wallet paper / hardware wallet which give more security since hackers can reach'em as there is no connection to internet

yep, I also reccommend the Trezor wallet. It has a password manager, a pass phrase secuirty that when you enter the incorrect password it will generate a completely different wallet in case you have been forced to tell your password or simillar. it is super safe.

If you really want to have a secure wallet, I recommend downloading a wallet onto an external drive; hard-drive, solid-state, USB stick, whatever you think would work, then make multiple copies of it and have them all stored securely and in different locations you're aware of, so you can always make sure you have a backup in case something happens to one of the drives. If you want you can go a set further and get something like Electrum for your wallet and use the various passwords and security features on top of having a bunch of drives.

Alternatively, use an online service like blockchain.info, which has a lot of security features. But be aware that you are leaving your Bitcoin in someone else's hands and you have to hope it all goes well, they only have a guarantee of making your Bitcoin safe so their own business can grow.

If you holding the little fund or using for keep on exchanging it you no need to wait for buying the hardware wallet and all. It would be cost effective to you bro. So keep the bitcoins in the desktop wallet or paper wallet.
There are some users having fund in the paper wallet too. That is also not a bad idea guys. Simply if you keep secure your private key and not sharing the wallet.dat file means your fund will be secured.

Registering in a wallet will give you a password or private key to be kept in order to be safe or security of your wallet. Don't allow other people will use your personal device to log in theirs. if you log in to other device make sure that you log out.

One of the ways to safe keep your wallet is to use 2FA security app.  Also have a hard copy of your private keys and pass word and keep them offline. Have a separate  email address for all your transactions from your regular email address.

One of the best way to secure your wallet is to store it in a cold wallet, hardware wallet like trezor or ledger nano or use a desktop wallet such as electrum. Just keep always safe your private key at all times. Be careful with the website that you are trying to visit, keep an eye if it is phising, double check it!
