I agree all of us need to be extra careful regarding in handling our wallet.We should make a back-up in order to secure our account and make sure all your private keys are backed-up.Nowadays theres a lots of scammers and thieves so never ever trust anyone regarding your personal account even if its your close friends.Be more extra careful in all your actions to avoid loss.

So true. You need to take more safety measures so that you can avoid losing your coins. Today more people or thiefs wanted to rob wallets because of the potential of growing of bitcoin. That is why you need to be smart enough in keeping your wallet. There are lot of thing to do it, and do it properly.

Maintaining wallet security is very important, especially avoiding theft. There are many things we can do, such as securing our e-mail account by creating unique and powerful passwords, installing 2-step verification (for example: google authenticator), maintaining and back-up private key, if available, use the SMS verification code, and also does not store bitcoin on a web exchange.

I recommend using a different device for that. One device (preferably a clean Windows with a good antivirus) for your bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This will serve as your wallet and this has to be extra secure and clean. You shouldn't install anything but Electrum. Another device for work stuff. It will be connected to the Internet a lot and will have access to your secondary wallets. Third is just a cheap netbook for downloading, torrenting, and pretty much just surfing the net that might potentially be unsafe. But all of this can be squeezed in one device when you have are running Linux. I personally recommend Ubuntu as they have a good community, lots of tutorials, plus there's an IRC for Ubuntu where some experts hang out to help others.

There's only 2% of Linux users in the whole world so it's quite unlikely that hackers will be focusing on making a virus dedicated for Linux users. It's believed to be the most secure operating system. It's not just about the wallet. It's also about the Operating System that you are running, the data that you get from the Internet (from downloading), and how cautious you are overall. If you're interested in installing Ubuntu, I recommend checking the following links:
*/r/Ubuntu
*Ubuntu: A Beginner’s Guide (MakeUseOf)
*Installing Ubuntu (from Ubuntu website)

There's also a book of Ubuntu Linux for Dummies available on Amazon. You can use purse.io to pay directly with Bitcoins or Bitcoin Cash and even receive a 15%+ discount.

of course it is very important, moreover it is related to the assets you have, which of course you also do not want to lose the hard work you have done lost quickly

In my own opinion, yes it was very important because you need to have a good security in order not to get hacked so choose a wallet that has good reputation to be secured.

Everything can be stolen when our smartphone is in handyman service, weaknesses occur when we cannot change our private key !! this is very detrimental to erc-20 asset users, but in this case a complicated wallet security system in the exchange market is still the best choice.

Yes it really is, wallet security is important because it shows how you will protect your digital wallet from hackers or people that have bad motives to it. Turning it on will make your wallet more difficult to hack and you can recover your wallet incase you lost your device. It may be a hassle to do but it is a big help to prevent your wallet being emptied without your permission.

Security is important in the cyberworld because you don't know who or when hackers will attempt to invade your privacy and stole something important from you.

It is definitely the main reason for using wallet. Because there are hackers who can even steal exchanges money. Anyway, you should give priority to offline wallets, then 90 percent of your money is secured.

Hardware wallet or offline wallet is best option to secure our coin and token. Hackers have many ways to stole our money and i think we should carefull with our private key and before visiting website. Always check the certificate of website and the security

Yeah make sure that you are access the right online wallet which is true. sometimes there are lots of incoming letters to your inbox mail. not from wallet sites but from hackers. they send letters containing links from their replica sites. this is called phishing. if you are not observant you might be fooled and could have all your money stolen by them

There is always something strange if we are bitcoin transactions and always make sure the correct address is important, I've also experienced when bitcoin transactions and then copy my xapo address and then paste the address change, unfortunately I'm not thorough and don't think it's a problem so I lose 0.62 btc.

Security is the most important thing in bitcoin, when we carelessly and do not activate the security feature, we can be sure that someday we will regret, there have been many theft cases so the most important thing is to pay attention to security.

I think that yes. You should always use the wallet security if you don't want to lose money and take risks. It is much safer than using any other way to protect your money. use this one and you will never regret Smiley Smiley

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.

Consider the following tips to avoid losses:

Perform regular backups regularly
Save the backup on another device like in flash or another computer.
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

Yes you are right, Wallet security is very important for everybody. It may loose at anytime. Everybody must be careful about it. Everybody can make different types of safe copy save to another pc or mobile that if one lose another can support.

Obvious wallet security is mandatory to use. Fully secured wallet will never get phishing attack from hackers. unsecured wallet can lead you to loss all asset which is deposited in the wallet. All the security features of particular wallet you should use for example-- 2FA, email authentication, OTP etc.

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 yes! Wallet security is very important to avoid those theft in the wallet and those people who hacks wallet. Better to secure all of your wallet and have a private key to avoid hacking of your wallet. Wallet security is very important bro.

If you have millions in your wallet or account and someone knows your password or you are logging in to your account in front of someone and he copied that then you are in trouble because he can access into your account and can simply cash out your millions. Now you have to take care of your privacy so that you will be safe and this is your security which is in your own hands.
