Simple Tips Keeping Your Bitcoin from Hackers.

[CoinFoxs]

The only safest way to store bitcoins is hardware wallet, if you are planning to store bitcoins for a longer period of time then choose hardware wallets and don't store bitcoins on exchange sites because usually, hackers steal from exchange sites or from the data that is available online. Other bitcoin wallets like Coinbase etc. are also secure but don't take the risk and buy hardware wallet to store your coins.

- We must have our own way to keep our Bitcoin safe. The account we use must have a unique password, and not easily guessed.

- Do not equate account passwords associated with Bitcoin with other accounts such as social media, because it is vulnerable to hack, let alone the followers of its social media a lot.

- Use two-factor or 2FD authentication. Additional security layers are easy to apply. Quite a few apps like Google Authenticator as a 2FD installation provider. In essence, it works as a second security layer after the password. When you've entered a keyword into your account, the system will request a two-factor authentication code. The six-digit code does not need to be memorized because it changes every 30 seconds.

- And one more, do not trust everyone. Suppose we provide information about our Bitcoin account to our Mother, it is not impossible that our mother could just tell it to someone else. With the spread of such information will increase the potential for breaking.

Thank you for the tips that you shared to us, hope I can use it in the future. I believe that as a bitcoin user you must be control the cryptos you have, just dont depend on the wallet you have but also secure yourself and do the right things and trust no one.

Based on my own experience, you should be careful when choosing friends too and who will you trust because this thing really happened in my so-called "circle of friends" when one of these so-called friends stole tokens from the other in his Ethereum wallet and why did that happen? because he shared his private key with the one who he trusts and all in a sudden all of his hodlings are gone and we detected through transactions that one of our so-called friends stole it.The lesson is never ever to trust your private key even in your best friend because money can make people do evil things that they might regret.

the triggering part is password haha, it's too long so i take lots of time to remembering it just in case T_T

Use a password manager like KeePass2[1]. That way, you'd only need to remember one long password(master password), then you're other passwords would be as long as it can for maximum security(at least 40 characters). Just make sure your master password is secure as well.

Never knew about this website but thanks a lot I'll try to use those and I think it would be really helpful to me but before that, I'll try to do some research about these websites that you share for maximum security purposes.

in my opinion Don't match the account password for buying and selling Bitcoin or bank accounts with other accounts such as social media, because it is prone to hacking, especially those with many followers. Then, also use two-factor authentication or 2FD, the additional security layer is easy to apply. There are quite a number of applications such as Google Authenticator as the installation provider of 2FD on our platform.

For me i protect my bitcoin by SMS phone verification when i want to access to my bitcoin account from another computer

i don't think it is completely safe. Hacker still can hack your account in this way.

All of us are prone to hackers. To prevent to be hacked we must aware in the things they might do to hack our personal account.All of the stated above was correct. We need to have a back up to our password and do not tell to everybody how much you have on your wallet because it can be a cause to stole all of your coins, do not trust somebody to your wallet account. Its just a piece of advice that can be used to keep your wallet safe.

[bakkang]

I think all you need to do is to have a strong password not just unique but hard to discover. You should also be aware with the sites that you signed because some them are phishing. Hoping that the moderator and creator of many apps and sites they should also trace all the accounts so that they can filter who is hacker and not.

[Tipsters]

There's really no 100% hack proof or steal proof system in place when it comes to virtual world or even in the real one. You can only go so far with multiple system to attain the highest security possible. Proper risk management is also we need to minimize the losses in security system.

paper wallets thats it

[wow.magic]

The best and simple way to avoid your bitcoin being stolen by hackers is to educate yourself from the internet you need to know what types of attacks a hacker can hack your account. Because no matter how secure a system is, sometimes humans is the greatest flaw exploited by social engineering.

I agree, we need to educate ourselves in our personal information in investment in cryptocurrency cause sometimes we are careless to used internet, hackers are always there thats why we need to be careful all the times.

[fistteam]

The simple measures we need to take to be able to protect the number of bitcoins we hold. And I think it is very important that you do not save your passwords in the web browser because it is easy to be stolen by hackers. This is not a measure but an advice because I see many people still make this mistake.

If you are having problems remembering your passwords there are many applications that you can use that can create passwords for you and that can store them in your computer, this way you can generate unique and almost impossible passwords to crack with just a few clicks, you will need to dedicate some time to store and to create new passwords but once everything is set up it is very easy to log in your wallets and exchange accounts knowing that they are now very safe.

And if you also add  two factor authentication then you are going to be as safe as you can be and you can forget about losing your coins to most hackers since they do not have the skills to overcome a well structured defense against them.

[mekie]

Good advice, but I would add-don't store your Bitcoin etc on exchanges or wallets on your PC, Tablet etc, use strong passwords-not the same one you use for email, social media etc and lastly use a hard wallet such as Trezor etc. I assume your anti virus and anti malware are up to date and your os is fully patched.

[WebTera]

Keep bitcoin - this is a very important moment for investment. I use a cold wallet to store and do not store passwords in the computer, they are written in my notebook. I think it's pretty safe.

[William.vk]

Keep it cold storage or desktop wallet. Keep your private key safe. Don't share or don't put your private key any exchanger. Don't keep your private key something like google drive or any other storage. Keep your computer antivirus update.
