How to not lose your account and money?
Let's begin from Basic RULES. 1.Never....Never use simple passwords as 123454321, 123456, q1w2e3r4 and so on. Use passwords as 924jnjfanfAAJKJN)(_($. Why? Because this password will be decrypted for 2-3 years.. 2. Unfortunately, hard passwords 924jnjfanfAAJKJN)(_($ are hacking in a few seconds.How? Sometimes you entering this information on FAKE sites, you must to check correct link to site to exclude it. 3. Every time use DIFFERENT passwords. 4. Don't put in public your main EMAIL (spreadsheets and so on). 5. Change your password every 1-2 months. 6.Use 2fa authorization. Don't put "remember this computer" 7.Use Antivirus.. 8. Try to use Linux or Ubuntu. 9. Don't use public WIFI for sites,that need login-password. 10. Never give your private key. 11.Try to re-install your Windows regularly. p.s. Comments are welcome)

I don't ask for merit. I just say that they are welcome. Comments are welcome too. p.s. If I make a little help people- I will be glad. More than 90% are using the same password on every site.

You'd better learn the difference between "loose" and "lose". I feel pain in my eyes when I see that.
P.S: when you learn it, please edit the post.

In addition to what you have posted, other best ways to safeguard your account and money are: 1. make sure the passwords you use are a combination of numerals, alphabets whether a capital letter or small letter is very easy to recall, 2. don't ever try or by mistake expose your Private key address for anything, 3. Don't save your passwords or device that connected to the internet. 4. always use my etherscan.io for an account that is RC-20 compatible.

Contradictory tips? Two differents reasons. If you enter on fake sites ANY password-you will be hacked.

it seems that these are general rules. the list can be expanded. this is suitable for any user. but where are the bills or wallets? you can use a separate system for wallets. that also reduces at least breaking.

It's better to use Extensions that can show fake or fishing sites. Don't save private keys on computer. and everything will be good)

It's pretty much good suggestions. But there is one issue if we use strong unique passwords everywhere. How to remember all these passwords!? People have tens or even hundreds accounts on internet websites and it's not easy to remember which password belongs to which website. I'm trying to use unique password on every website and it's common thing that I have to click "forgot password" button on some websites, especially on these which I'm visiting rarely. I hardly can imagine how it can be convenient to use passwords made from random characters like kcfht3gf8 on every website that we are using. We would need to write down all these passwords or what?

1. Serf only trusted sites. Add it into bookmarks. 2. If you use WIFI-it's better to put safety DNS. But it's more safety to use direct connection with RJ-45. Because WIFI traffic can be sniffed by hackers.

Don't use MyEtherWallet now. Hackers attacked DNS. Wait for several days.

What LTU_btc ask is how to remember all of those passwords that we need for each sites. From my experience I use a password manager, like LastPass. I know that at some point we have to trust this third-party provider, but for me it is good enough to do. Don't use MyEtherWallet now. Hackers attacked DNS. Wait for several days.
Seems a little bit off-topic, but AFAIK they only attacked Amazon DNS server. Users that use other DNS servers should be safe isn't it?

8. Try to use Linux or Ubuntu.
Does using linux or ubuntu os really one of the tips for this? What is the advantage of using this os instead of windows?

I heard about password management tools such as LastPass, but never tried to use it. I wouldn't feel comfortable to give my passwords to a third-party services, no matter that these passwords are encrypted. For me it's similar like online bitcoin wallets - in general it should be safe to use but I'm not a big fan of it.

I can understand your feelings. I'm still looking for another alternative too, but not yet find the perfect one. Writing down all of those passwords increase the security risk and it is inconvenience too. I really hope to have a perfect memory so that I wouldn't forget any password that I used :/

How it will help? Reinstalling can helps to remove malware. If antivirus doesn't see it

Don't forget that the attacks might happen before you've got the chance to re-install your Windows and prevent any malware to attack your computer. Personally, I don't think this is a good choice, but it's up to you. Use Linux to lower the risk of malware attack.
