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.

If we have a bitcoin password we must be carefull of such documents. We keep it in a safe place like hard wallet or we creat a flash drive and we put it in our bag that you are carry on everyday especially when we go to work. Avoid telling your friends about that information, that is my simple tips to bitcoin from hackers.

- 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.

Another simple tips : always check your address that you pasted when you are about to sending your bitcoin to other address.
Your pasted address may different with the one  you copy, always careful. thankyou

but maybe before her mother you are also in love if the story or that password at the end of her do not let the love know to others, and it became a memo for your mother.

use Google Authenticator for all your accounts on Exchange, so it can add even more powerful protection.

the problem if you store your passwords and private key and all your account information on your computer you have also to protect you computer very well because if any hacker get into your computer can know all your account information, you've to put all your information on an offline PC and make info encrypted  Grin

I do not use 2FA authentication in my wallet cause it really risk for me if my phone is missing. I just using email authentication to login to my wallet. It's easy to protect our wallet just because we are negligent in accessing or protecting the wallet.

The use of dual or 2FD authentication is a very effective way, in recent years a lot of hackers began to focus on the field of encryption, many people's purses were stolen, in the future this situation should be more, to maintain their own safety habits are the most important.

I believe these are very helpful tips especially for people who are storing their coins on online wallets. The 2 factor authentication is very essential and exchanges like COSS would even deactivate your accounts if you fail to activate the 2fa.However, it would be great to think of a secure offline wallet which gives you maximum control over your private keys.

Most important thing to use a  reputed exchange which is serious with security. There are some parameters to judge that :

1) Look that the exchange that you are using has some bounty program for finding bugs. The program should be old and should be paying decent money for finding bugs. This will ensure that users do not get targeted because of lack of security on exchange.

2) Give very much importance to the team behind the exchange.

As we read, I hope we will have people who will share other techniques we can use to keep our wallets safe from hackers. Securing my bitcoin wallet, bookmarking bitcoin wallet sites, secure private keys in offline and in the cloud. To prevent hackers, it's up to us who beat them.. Smiley Smiley

Strong passwords and 2FA will not do much good if the private keys are compromise, who ever owns those can simply export the wallet elsewhere and steal the funds in the account, good tips anyway, it cannot be over empasized

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 yoActually, I went through the post and most of the comments and wow learned a lot from this. And I myself use two-factor authentication for the safety and I feel like it is fully secured. what do u think?

try using metamask / mist and wallet hardware
and do not forget to always check MEW website address
original MEW website address always has secure information with green text on the left side address bar MyEtherWallet Inc [US]
