Is wallet security important to use?

[zidanw]

very important because the case of hacking is very big now and people should understand that they should not be wrong in choosing a wallet. as we know that there are many problematic exchanges and we must be able to carefully store our assets

[aad140386]

I believe that the problem of security of the wallets is very undervalued at the moment. A lot of people are already faced with the fact that their money is being stolen, they are losing passwords and so on. So this is when you consider that people keep a small part of the savings in cryptocurrency. And if you imagine that all the money a person will be stored in a cryptocurrency and he will lose it? How will this person continue to exist if he doesn’t even have anything to buy food for? This is a big problem. Crypto-wallets should not only be well protected, but also allow their owners to restore access to wallets in various ways. Otherwise in the future we will face big problems.

The title seems uncorrect .  wallet security important to use ?  Based on what i understand , we dont need to use to use wallet security . we only use the wallet . wallets security is already their working inside a wallet to protect us from potential threats  .

I believe What you are trying to say is ( " do we really need to activate the wallets extra security such as 2fa's and otp " )   its not necesary to activate them but they can add extra protection if you manage to have alot of balance .

I believe yes but the security still depends on us. To make everything sure, we should be mindful of our holdings and think of the best ways to hold it right. There are some instances where unnecessary things happen so we should just choose the safest way to keep our earnings.

Yes that's very much important dude, it is same as the key to your house if lost it how can you open it to get your valuable things. Same goes with the wallet too, you need to keep it in a safe place, then you must also have a usb back-up so that you can retrieve any time you want too, if ever there something happen with laptop or desktop.

It is about holding and for this choosing a wallet, I am going to choose bitcoin to invest and for its security I am not worry at all because there are so many wallets which can keep it safe for me, wallets actually act as security guard to help us for growing our money safely, I prefer using blockchain because it is reliable to use and easy to use at any time whenever it needed.

when we use a virtual currency like a wallet, we need to be extra careful, often with a wallet with a private key provided, so we must keep the things that are important to us so that others can not be burdened. And to avoid scams we should not trust much more about the things we take care of.

[RokokGudangGaram]

for wallet security it is very important because now the hackers are still willing to target our assets, so don't underestimate the security of your wallet if you don't want to regret it later

You must be careful to trust people quickly for now because some people can do anything to benefit them. Do the good thing for the future that you want. I Only trust my close family to say about the wallet key that I have from a new friend

more wallet security add the most safest wallet service.  this is the first idea are in my mine on the begining chosing wallet service. for some people wallet security are nesesary. but many people lose their fund if dont care about this. Choose the safest wallet service whether it's a software or hardware method and you can safe your fund for long time

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.

Wallet security is really important to use because you might lose all of your funds by hackers if you do not have a strong security in your wallet. The best thing to avoid theft in your wallet is by not giving any information to other people or strangers, avoid accessing your account in public, never forget you private keys, and always use wallet that has strong security like hardware wallet like ledger.

Maybe some of your questions have been answered, "security of the wallet", well for that your wallet security is like you are guarding your own house, a person who wants to enter and take your valuable, essentially the house key is safely guarded, never given to others as well asto your wallet wallet so that it cannot be stolen safely, if you can keep it all it is definitely safe for you.

The best idea to avoid theft in the wallet is by picking the right wallet that has a great security which no hacker could open it like blockchain, coinbase, and etc. You can also use hardware wallet like ledger or trezor that has more great security than online wallets because you are the only one who can access on it, you only need is to not forget your private key and misplace it.

Hey yes wallet security is very important for anyone who is holding crypto's, as an unsecured wallet could be hacked and one could loose his funds. I believe people often make the mistake of sharing their wallet details with friends and family which is a big mistake according to me. Also I would suggest you to use 2fa on your wallet, that will provide you more security, and use a 16 digit passwords as it's difficult to crack it.

Imagine using web wallets, they can easily steal your assets through web wallet. It's not the safest way to store your cryptos, especially on the internet.

You can also use hardware wallet like ledger or trezor that has more great security than online wallets because you are the only one who can access on it, you only need is to not forget your private key and misplace it.

Yea, it's easy to say. But most people are lazy to even buy these equipments, because it costs money and other shit.

right, with an additional security of 2fa it will give us a feeling of security. after all, a wallet is a bank for our assets, so I think this is the first time we have to secure it, before accumulating assets

I think anyone investing a significant amount into cryptocurrencies should consider a hardware wallet, thus making theft much more difficult due to its encryption of private keys. It can be very comforting to know that a hardare wallet is immune to even a compromised computer.

There are users who prefer long term holding. It is good to have a hardware wallet unlike the investment volume. Keeping a hardware wallet will ensure the security in a higher level. With cryptocurrency wallets serve as our own banks.

[mbluxs]

Certainly very important because the wallet is security for our assets. if our assets are able to be accessed, the potential inside is potentially stolen, therefore we must be careful in storing our assets to get a sense of security.

Even if you don't hold large portions of crypto a hardware wallet is essential.
You are not afraid that you will get phised by any website and this is the main source of scamming nowadays. I bought a hardware wallet along with my first crypto purchase.
