OP, good suggestions, but still, it doesn't guarantee that your account eill be stay safe forever. There was cases when users who used most of avsilable protection methods and still lost their accounts.
Few my suggestions - don't visit phishing websites, it's one of main reasons of account hacks. It would be best to bookmark Bitcointalk in your browser. Always use strong and unique passwords. It's also very important to protect your email with 2FA. Without access to email hacker won't be able to use your account. If you will lose access to yourvemail it will be impossible to recover account.
I don't know if the forum can take some security measures. For example, changing an email address takes five days to change. At the same time, the change information will be sent to the mailbox. This should increase the possibility of anti-theft to some extent.
Email verification for password changes has been proposed in past and it would help to reduce number of hacked accounts, but it looks that this feature won't be implemented soon.
You effort is very much appreciated by me this can sure help protect once account especially that of the newbies.
But I would really love to see some day when 2fa can work on bitcoin talk forum account
In current forum version 2FA won't be added. There will be some kind of 2FA on new forum software, but the main question - when it will be released? Maybe after 1, 2, 5 years, we are already waiting for it for very long time.
