How to protect your token's

3. If you keep your keys codes etc in your computer make sure you always have a backup a clone for the drive to be safe.

yes but to be honest for me, I prefer doing physic backup for our private key. like print them out to the paper, and laminating it with strong plastic. then save them in your private place. it will be better to write them one by one for restoring it than let the hacker or somebody take down your PC and steal all of your assets in the future

unfortunately you also have to be careful with natural disasters or fires, my friend has experienced it, the key phrase is stored on paper and at that time there was a fire at his home,
unfortunately, because my friend went out, so he didn't have time to save his property, especially the key phrase, this could be a lesson, we actually have to save our key phrases online and offline, just in case,
and to be online, of course, have to store it in a completely safe place.

good information, a little extra from me. in addition to negligence, lack of safety factors also causes loss of balance in the wallet.
I suggest to use a double security be it email, and other accounts.
then do not ever open a strange web, or that you have never opened before, even if forced to open it make sure the web is safe, you will see the connection in the upper left corner if you open it through chrome, the last if you use a public computer make sure you log out and delete your history , to anticipate theft.

To protect your token safety is sell your coin and withdraw your bitcoin or altcoin become cash money and put in on the bank, its one way how to protect your coin, or other thing you can save your token with new exchange wallet and never joined any ICO or airdrop, use offline hard ware wallet for access to new your coin, its the best thing for safety your token.

Indeed there's a lot of cases now saying they got scammed or they lost it that's why we should always secure our accounts and keys. Since we're in the digital era, it's more prone to such things since it's easier for people to find ways to scam other people. Make sure not to disclose your passwords with anyone especially when you don't trust that person. Also another precaution is to avoid using public internet cafes when accessing your account. It's more risky and vulnerable for theft and hacks. It's better to use your own pc, laptop, or phone.

This is not what is meant by protecting our altcoin, which is clear we ourselves must choose which wallet is good for us to use to store our digital assets from the bounty or purchase. we certainly do not want to get losses from investment or other results that are very detrimental to us

Thanks for your suggestion, I must said that never believe anyone even it's your closer friends, if not you never know that when the closer friends will stolen your crypto assets. Furthermore, don't screenshot or save the seed on computer while connecting the internet, make sure computer is virus free. Anyway, you can use usb drive to backup our wallet dat file, create a hidden partition in usb drivers and safe all the private file inside.

Although many suggest keeping tokens on hard wallets, for me keeping top exchanges like binance or okex is the safest thing, they are equipped with all security features including identity verification so that it is easier to recover if there is a problem.

Not your key, not your money. It all depends on the amount of money.
I would never deposit more than 10k $ at an exchange.
In the history I saw to many bad things with big exchanges, I trust not a single one.

I don't have many coins or other large portfolios, I only have a few tokens from the bounty campaign so I only rely on metamask and MEW wallets. the rest depends on the portfolio you have, if you have lots of coins or valuable coins. I recommend using a hardware wallet to make it safer.

this information is very helpful, I've done it. storing private keys in a secure manner is something that needs to be done. other than that, I'm also not interested in giving my password to other people, that's a dangerous thing. I prefer to send tokens directly. in the matter of storing private keys, I would certainly back up in a safe place like a hard disk, and so on. Yeah, but another safe way is to store it on the hardwallet

[Xanxus024]

In my own way I keep my private key to my hard drive then I'm not connecting my device in any public connection because we all know that hackers are always in there. I do not click any suspicious link because for sure it was a trap and every time i'll make transaction on my MEW I always clear my browser history and clear cache to avoid seeing what I'm doing because I have a relatives which is also using my personal computer.

I highly recommend to everyone that people should first educate themselves on how to handle their token and how to secure your wallet, this is not a secret, you can find a lot of educational articles and videos on Youtube the internet has full of it all what you posted are good but there are so many more to adds but we do not need to add just create your own unique way.

[anonallin]

I remember reading those threads carefully, back in 2012, then proceded to save my .wallet into two hdd with encrypted partion, then in 2019 i just simply cannot remade the insanely long pass phrase.
Been few years that i try to brute force it, no result as i remember adding a lot of special caractere.

Fast note, be safe, also back it up nicely.

Educating yourself is the main thing, however, you should be careful and consume information a little bit, so as not to overload your brain.
Otherwise, the benefit effect will be minimal. It is no secret that many security questions can be found on the forum using the search. I would advise everyone to do so, and only then ask questions if they remain.

The best way if you are using online wallet is to bookmark the wallet to avoid getting phishing and to keep your private key secured. If you want to secure your finds, better to put it in a hardware wallet than storing it in an online wallet. That way you can wnsure that your private keys are safe and to create a duplicate hard copy of your codes and access.

I do discourage people a lot about using online wallet because no matter how hard you try, as far as you are connected to the internet at all times, I think online wallet are at a very risk of being hacked no matter how hard you try to secure it when it comes to internet, hackers are very good at it and some of them do go for the training specially, although some hacker turned bad but they were never trained to actually use it for illegal thing which I believe that some of them even do swear an oath, but even at that I have seen some terrible ones turn against the oath, so the best way to still keep one's wallet secured to just strictly make use of hardware wallet, that is the only guarantee that we can get we will not be very much attacked.

Either hardware wallet, mobile wallets or pc wallets you still have to write the private keys or recovery seeds out, i think the best place to can keep them is carving them on a mini wood or plastics or even irons, they can never be damaged

Without saying much, the safest way to protect your tokens is by using a hardware wallet. In situations where you can't afford the hardware wallet, keep the private keys of your app or web wallet safe, do not share it, because it is a sensitive information. Avoid clicking on phishing sites.

You must always be careful when using crypto wallets, Minor negligence can harm you and even you will lose all crypto assets in your wallet. The security of your crypto assets is entirely your responsibility, so try to improve the security of your wallet, so it is not easily hacked by people who are not responsible.

private key is indeed a primary key that must be secured and should be stored in a place that does not have an internet connection and must be careful when accessing your wallet, don't forget to backup the data if necessary for the security of your wallet.

The thing is that a lot of us lives a care free life when it comes to keeping our cryptocurrency, before I paid attention to securing my wallet more with a very strong password, and activating all those necessary security tools like 2fa factor, I had really been reading lots of suggestions from people about keeping your key, and not until after some months it came on me that I have really not done as they have said because it has never happened to me before, but the thing is that, we should never wait till it happens to us before we start thinking of how to now secure the wallet, because before then, the damage may have been too much for us to bear, which could even make us to quite the cryptocurrency market complete if we don’t take care.

Hardwares are more advisable for long hold coins/tokens. Because the ease of access is usually a problem for me. I prefer a well backed up imtoken 2 or Trust Wallet with access to my finger print such that even if I loose the phone, someone can't crack my password. These mobile wallets are among the safest too if you observe basic safety precautions
