Hi All

What do you use for your bitcoin security, I have been looking into usb style password protectors, but don't know enough about them as to the trust that I should place in them.

Has anyone bought them and would you recommend them?

Many thanks

I strongly believe that BTC has a great secure system. Of course people should follow main tips concerning privacy and security because hackers and scammers can easily use their information

Comparatively bitcoin has the best security system than any other crypto currencies. You now need to secure you wallet from being hacked and for this you will have make a strong password and try to be updated with your password.

Well actually I only use an online wallet for my BTC I really think it is secure enough to handle the situation at hand, you just need to learn to activate the F2P security that the site will provide for you, Well all the given security purpose for you, But if you surely want a more secure you need to go in an expensive wallet that is truly off line so you can be sure that it will be safe against hackers, But it will be sure prone to lost or your can misplace a certain wallet that have a size of a USB, So you need to be really careful about it.

If you mean something like Ledger HW.1 or Nano S, then yes, they are the best security for bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies if you go for the Nano S, which is an a upgrade from the HW.1 with more features, albeit pricier). They serve as a U2F (Universal 2nd Factor Authentication) which simplifies the authentication process while providing more security, and they are the best at it (TREZOR as well). If I had to choose between the two, I would go with the Nano S as it is more secure and lessens your chances of experiencing Man–In–The–Middle–Attack.

Bitcoin itself is a safe and secure crypto currency. So there is nothing to be worried about if you wish to be associated with this coin. If you are talking about storage as in where to keep the coins, there are a lot of secure wallets out there such as Coinbase. And use 2FD for the verification purpose.

Two factor authentication offered by many websites is insecure. Many believe that SMS codes can protect one from password breaches. As we have seen, it's still possible to get control over one's phone number. Offline software wallet would be much wiser choice these days since it can't be hacked without a direct access.

The security of the bitcoin is really great and it has the strongest security but you will need to ensure the security of your wallet where you will put your bitcoin. You will need to have strong password and you can also use 2FD verification for security purposes.

Your bitcoin security is you. Do not publicize your bitcoin account's private key. Your coin will be safe and secured from theft, fraud and scams. Almost be vigilant about scam packages that demand your bitcoin detail, they may be steal your coins.

everyone here has ever bought bitcoin, those who feel they are losing bitcoin, they mean they have done carelessness, keep your address and private key in a place that cannot be accessed by the internet using internet access when you just want to transact

I think bitcoin already has strong security. It's hard to break down. Because it loses bitcoin. By going to our mess.

"usb style password protectors"

Password and login protection is different from hardware wallet. What exactly do you need? If you need protection for the Bitcoin that you have already bought, hardware wallet like trezor offer everything that you need. But if you need protection for your passwords, yubikeys are great. The problem is that not every exchange accept they. In fact, most do not accept. I know bitmex accept. But Binance and Polo don't.

The best bitcoins security is the use of cold wallet to store your wallet and if you can't afford that and you are using an online client, then preserving your private key from unauthorized person is the best way to secure your bitcoin.

You can always store your coins in Coinbase's system. They are not really a wallet system but you can keep your coins there and be content with it. Otherwise, hardware wallets are the way to go. Electrum, Trezor and Ledger Nano S are some great hardware wallets that will help you with storing your coins.

There are mobile wallets like Breadwallet, Coinbase, Copay etc and these are very reliable. However, if you can spend a bit more money then you should try out hardware wallets. They are very safe and secure to store you coins and they have enough layers of security to keep the coins intact.
