Hi. I know desktop wallets are safer but I have a question regarding a web wallet. What is the safest way possible of logging in. Please can you rank these in order of safest to least safest. I see four ways of potentially logging in:
1. HTTPS address + Tor browser + Onion address
2. None HTTPS + Tor browser + onion address
3. HTTPS address + Standard browser + Clearnet link
4. HTTPS address + Tor browser + clearnet link
HTTPS is a must. Without it your password/other info would be visible in clear text. You shouldn't have to use Tor/Onion, as you aren't trying to hide which site you are visiting. The most important thing when accessing web wallets is:
1) Make sure you aren't on a phishing site. Always check the address of the website and never use a google search to get to it. I recommend bookmarking the website to avoid phishing links.
2) Ensure your computer is clear of malware. If infected, hackers can install a keylogger which can easily reveal all your passwords.
3) Always enable 2 Factor Authentication. This will GREATLY increase your account security, as the hacker would need both your password AND your phone, something that is extremely unlikely.
At the end of the day you shouldn't be storing too much on web wallets. Anything of significant value should go into a hardware wallet. However if you enable 2FA and avoid phishing sites you are most likely safe from any hacks.
