Simple Tips Keeping Your Bitcoin from Hackers.

[Sekyut]

- 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.

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

Uhm, those tips are clearly meant for people who are storing their coins on online wallets, since you're mentioning 2FA.
I would advise against giving away control of your Bitcoins to any company. It's always better to have your own secure wallet, one that gives you control over your private keys.

Two-factor Authentication isn't a perfect solution, it can also be broken in certain instances.

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.

OP probably had web wallets in mind when wrote this but 2FA is not necessarily pointing to web wallets only. you can have a cold storage with 2FA too.
for example using Electrum you can create a 2 of 3 multi signature wallet with TrustedCoin service which is your 2FA. this would be a desktop wallet which uses this option. it can also be used offline, although offline may be a bit weird setup!

I also actually only recommend using Google Authenticator, because I think the level of google security is very high and has been trusted. And the most important thing is we have to stay alert all the time because the risk always try some way to attack you.

Good sharing and thanks for the advice. I think that it will be easy to secure own account for the techie people.
So my additional suggestion is to study a bot on how to make crypto wallet well secured by googling.

I appreciate your effort in making sure people's bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not stolen because it is becoming rampant nowadays. As we read on, I hope we will have people who will share other techniques we can use to keep our wallets safe from hackers.

Use a unique email for your account,  use a long and complex password, (for coinbase) setup the Coinbase Vault and two-factor authentication for any send off-site and don't talk about cryptocurrency on social media.

If you want to be safe try to used trusted wallet like coinbase or trusted wallet in your country so you can deposit some of your money or bitcoin that you are sure that this is safe dont give your private keys or password to anyone save it into offline storage be safe.

what I do to avoid hackers is to secure my bitcoin wallet, bookmarks bitcoin wallet website, secure private key in offline and in cloud. To prevent hackers it depends on us who overcame it

Many are newcomers, unaware of the risks and security holes in the complicated yet lucrative world of cryptocurrency, making them easy prey for hackers and cyberthiefs.

2f authenticator since 2015

The bitcoin wallet client is the most effective way to ensure the security of bitcoin, because only you have the secret keys. Don't put your eggs in one basket, for example, put a small amount of money on a computer, server or smartphone for daily expenses, and then save the remaining bitcoins with the "cold storage". Both methods have strong passwords. Multiple signatures are another way to enhance security.

If you are storing bitcoin in your computer for sure you need to have protected computer and have an updated computer and anti-virus but as well you need to have a password on your wallet to make sure that no one will be able to access it or to make transfers but mostly for me I just used the two-factor or the authentication which is pretty good and it really gives a security in your account. You should not tell anyone that you have a bitcoin or that where your bitcoin is stored, for me I never tell anyone except my family but they don't know how it works and where do I store it to make a privacy with my coins.
