We all agree that hardware wallets are the safest. However, if you cannot afford one at this time, I recommend that you check out the list of suggested wallets at bitcoin.org. The list includes wallets for the web, desktop, mobile, and hardware. Listed under each wallet is the six criteria that good wallets should meet. If the wallet meets any of these standards, it will appear in green. Therefore, you can choose one based on the standards that matter to you. https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

I use my wallet and it suits me on all points. Consumables such as time reserve are minimized as well as for ISO it is excellent.

If you really want safe bitcoin wallet . you should buy hardware wallet . it was like cold wallet or frozen wallet no one can touch . or if want more cheaper can do with Paper Wallet . im not both of them this wallet because i need active in market which is i always send and receive coin daily . so i choose wallet that have 2FA and authentication device . and makes sure your PC clean with Good Security like AV and original windows .

I'm from Philippines and I'm using the software wallet here which is the Coins.ph. They're the most trusted BTC wallet here in the philippines and also they're accredited with our government so if there are anomalies regarding with the BTC's people can report it to the government.

Like everybody has already said before in this thread, a hardware wallet is the best option when it comes to security.
If you still want to go with a desktop wallet, I can highly recommend Armory, as it's one of the most secure desktop wallets out there.

Do keep in mind that Armory does require you to download the full blockchain and it is meant for multi-signature cold storage.
You asked about a secure wallet, Armory is one, but it's not known for ease of use Tongue

You can use a hardware wallet if you want complete security but I myself just use a mobile-based wallet. It is called "coins.ph" and it is a popular online wallet in my country. I can store bitcoins there without worrying about my security as long as I don't let anyone touch my phone or get access to my pin. It is also accesible in web but I prefer mobile app to avoid getting phished. One good feature of this wallet is that it allows users to pay bills and get rebates from doing so.

I used Trezor's for the past 3 years.  Didn't even touch one for the past 2 years.  Opened it up in Dec and everything working like it should.  Seriously, who wouldn't want to keep your money safe as possible?

I would suggest coinbase as being the biggest and safest. They are well funded and have been around for a long time. They are also compliant with US law so are unlikely to be attacked from that front.

I would definitely suggest Nano S ledger. It is the most secured hard wallet I've ever encountered. nobody can steal your crypto coins and bitcoin without the ledger nano itself. Also, it is equipped with password. Just in case somebody is trying to withdraw from your ledger there is a confirmation needed that will show in the screen of your ledger.

If you like a secured wallet, you can try using hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor. Electrum for android phone is a secured wallet too. You can donwload Electrum in Google Play Store and I since I'm a Filipino I will also recommend you to use Coins.ph. It is trusted by many Filipino and other people from different country. And let me clear something. You are looking for a secured wallet right?  actually all Bitcoin wallet (Those trusted wallets only) are secured. You will only lose your wallet account if you are careless with your private key or password. Also those people who are victims of phishing sites are careless.

To avoid phishing,
1.Just dont click any links sent by pm from an unknown person
2.Dont click unknown links or websites. It has a possibility that it is a phishing site.
3.Think before you click

To avoid being scammed,
1. Don't trust someone you just met in social media or internet.
2. Make some observations. This is Important.

These are just some tips to avoid phishing and scam. It is not the wallet's fault if you lose your Bitcoin or you wallet account. Remember, all bitcoin wallet has their own pros and cons. All of them are secured. It only depends on you on how you take care of them.

Hardware wallets like Trezor[1] and Ledger Nano S[2] would be the best for security, but your wallet's security isn't going to prevent you from getting scammed and phished. Only your own knowledge and awareness can prevent your from getting scammed and phished.
Yes,you are right the security of the wallet can't prevent us from scamming and phishing we need to be aware of what we are doing.By the way hardware wallets are safest or the wallet which provides private key access.

I am using electrum for now because that supporting segwit already so we can save some penny while doing transactions too and it is one of the safest bitcoin wallet too.

While opinions here may defer I think a HARD wallet like Trezor will do anyone who sincerely wants safety and security a great deal of good.

If you hold a decent amount you should really consider a hardware wallet ,in the meantime i would use electrum.
For online wallets i use blockchain.info , it is pretty safe with 2fa , but you don't have access to your private keys.
MEW (MyEtherWallet) is good and safe for Ethereum and ERC20 tokens. I agree that Electrum is good and reputable wallet for Bitcoin. In fact, they both pair with hardware wallets too, so you can use Electrum or MEW and secure the private keys with a hardware wallet.

3 Common ways to store Crypto

Hardware Wallets

Pro: Hardware wallets keep your investments secure against cyber attacks. Since coins and tokens do not exist in physical form, the wallets instead hold the private keys to the addresses owned by the user.  Hardware wallets store your private key on a small physical device that can be connected to a computer USB port when you are ready to make a transaction. Private keys are generated on and never leave the physical device, preventing them from being compromised by cyber attacks, even if you make a transaction on a computer infected with malware. Commonly-supported coins include Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum Classic, and Dash.

Con: The only downside to hardware wallets is that, unlike other options, you must purchase them.


* Examples and cost:

KeepKey: https://www.keepkey.com/

($129 each, *https://[Suspicious link removed]/yd73on89* (https://www.amazon.com/KeepKey-Simple-Cryptocurrency-Hardware-Wallet/dp/B0143M2A5S/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1517947712&sr=8-3&keywords=keepkey&dpID=41fqIceeeEL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch))

The coolest looking tech gadget to show off to your friends. Made by a relatively new company, KeepKey offers a hardware wallet of a polished design. KeepKey is said to be a port of Trezor’s code and firmware, so their main difference is the material. KeepKey feels like a ‘premium’ wallet but might be a little on the heavy side and hence more susceptible to drops. It comes with a standard, simple to use client UI.

Nano Ledger S: https://www.ledgerwallet.com/

($135 each, *https://[Suspicious link removed]/y93f92rm/)*

Is just as secure as the other two hardware wallets. It is popular because of its relatively low price  to its competitors. Being smaller than KeepKey, it is more portable and easier to carry around. It is a hardware wallet that comes at a very competitive price.

Trezor: https://trezor.io/

($110 each, *https://[Suspicious link removed]/yb46zkfd* (https://www.amazon.com/Trezor-bitcoin-wallet-Black/dp/B00R6MKDDE?th=1) )

Is one of the first movers in the hardware wallet industry and sets the gold standard for crypto security. Trezor has a reputation for providing top-notch security, protecting against both virtual and physical theft. What Trezor lacks in style, it more than makes up in the security department. Even if your PC is compromised with malware, your private keys will still be safe with Trezor. In this sense, Trezor is more of a vault than a wallet.

Alot of these prices fluctuate, and you can find them cheaper if you want to dig.  I just linked amazon for quick reference

Here is some more handy info on software apps:

Desktop or Mobile

Pro: Support for multiple cryptocurrencies. They may also include additional features, such as an integrated currency and token exchange. These wallets create and store your private keys on your computer or smartphone

Con:  However, since you most likely use these devices to access the Internet, your wallet may be at risk if your computer or smartphone becomes infected with malware or spyware. Additionally, some desktop clients download a full copy of the blockchain, which can often take up a significant amount of hard drive space.


* Examples and cost:

Exodus: https://www.exodus.io/(Free)
Mist: https://github.com/ethereum/mist/releases (Free)
Jaxx: https://jaxx.io/ (Free)

Browser/Plug-in

Pro: Though only available on Google Chrome, these easy-to-use wallets create and store your private keys on your computer and are always readily available.

Con: As with desktop clients, a web-based wallet is only as secure as the device on which your private key is stored. If the device becomes infected with malware, your key could be compromised.  Highly insecure.


* Examples and cost:

Myetherwallet: https://www.myetherwallet.com/ (Free)
MetaMask: https://metamask.io/ (Free)
Jaxx: https://jaxx.io/ (Free)
