Like I use to tell most cryptocurrency investors that cryptos wallet and exchanges will not give you the security that you need but you alone have to determine the security of your wallet. There are tested majors and steps which you need to take to ensure your wallet is safe. Things like keeping your private keys safe, avoid downloading malwares that could led to attacks of hacking on your wallet.

Don't use your private key to import anything anyway, anywhere. You can use other methods, but do not expose the private key.

But now, indeed, the cases of hacking of e-wallets. In many cases this is facilitated by the owners themselves, the owners of the email accounts in payment system Yandex, WebMoney, etc do Not recommend to store your password on file or computer. It is desirable to remember it or store it in paper archives in an inaccessible place.A reliable way to protect it is to switch to one-time passwords.By activating this service, no one except you will be able to perform transactions on accounts.

I think the security of my wallet is very important and necessary. Because it seems all the possessions you have are in it. It can be stolen if you reveal your wallet or access an unknown link. Besides, we can completely save them on standalone hard drives, it is quite safe and convenient.

I once read for security wallet,
this is just for discussion how to secure the wallet. I do not think there is a security system and there will be no theft in the wallet.

If you choose your wallet or phone software, you need to be extra careful! Remember that bitcoins are stored inside your device. If your computer or phone breaks down, your bitcoin is gone too! Thieves can also take your bitcoin if it gets access. Consider the following tips to avoid losses:

Perform regular backups regularly
Save the backup on another device like in flash or another computer.
Use the encryption feature
With encryption, each transaction requires a login with a password. This prevents thieves who manage to gain access to your computer.
Do not forget the password
Losing a password equals losing your money! Wallet does not provide a password forgot feature.

Do you guys have a better idea to avoid theft in the wallet?
Your Knowledge and Ideas will be more helpful if shared.

Of course this is a very important element. Security in this money technology where we can not get a refund after any theft is the first thing to pay attention to. We should use cryptocurrency, taking a lot of security precautions, especially if we think that nowadays there are big problems like account thefts. We only need to activate important security measures like 2FA, which is more than just a strong password.

Of course, security should be the top priority in this kind of trend. Our wallet holds the amount we have invested and profit we gained so frequent checking on our wallet is a must to do.

Yes of course, security of wallet is very important because it is where you put your money so everything such as transactions of payments will be get and putted in there. But I think as of now I don't heard any feedback about losing their money using bitcoin wallet as long they will not forget their password. Hope that it will stay secured as years goes by.

Always be vigilant and alert, I've been in crypto for about 6 years, and the only time I've lost crypto was through btc-e though that was out of hands. Some people can really be lax protecting their private key, forgetting that, that is all a person needs and your funds are gone! Definitley read up on latest sec and encryption news to learn how best to protect yourself.
Exactly. When you are in crypto market, you have to put security and vigilance on top priority in every activity or asset. Yep, Security of a wallet plays a very important role. Truly, it’s completely not easy for anyone of us to protect our wallet. Especially, when we use an online wallet, we have to extremely cautious because it goes without saying that anything which is connected with internet always bring us a partial risk. Some hackers probably keep an eyes on our wallet and steal it whenever they want. I’m mostly prone to use wallet that does not need internet connection because it’s partly much safer. Most importantly, we should keep learning to have an intimate knowledge which can help us to protect ours better.

What I do is put it into a 7-zip with password, and save it in multiple different places, including the cloud. And not have it my daily computer.

For bitcoin inventors and users, their wallet is everything because if their wallet is lost then everything is gone. I think one shouldn’t give his/her wallet password key to anyone except one of the family member if necessary. I think digital money or bitcoin is good if the wallet is good because no one can afford to lose all his money. The security of wallet is everything; it must be secured tightly at any coast and any time.

Just keeping your private keys safe can keep you away from losing your Bitcoin even if the device is broke or lost. You can save your keys at some cloud storage or other online secure storage so that you can access it anytime or from any device.

You can store your cryptocurrency coins on a cold wallet or on a paper wallet, so you will protect yourself 100%. These are the most reliable ways to store cryptocurrency today.

May I ask what wallet specifically? Is it like myetherwallet?

Yes wallet security is very important to store the coins. You have to be very careful while choosing the wallets,  the main thing for bitcoin holdrrs is their wallet only. If the wallet has been hacked everything will be lost. Always backup is very important, keep the private keys very safe. If the wallet lost we loose our money also. Dont share or give your private key to anyone. Hackers will easily take the money from your wallet.
