Wow OP you have really done a good job putting all this together, it would really help a lot of newbies here who come to forum without learning how to ise the search button.

Security is one of the most important section of the crypto space and internet as a whole.Security in the internet simply refers to measures we take to prevent our device, assets or privacy from cyber threats or attacks associated with the internet.Alot of persons spend much time on this forum while others spend little intervals of time on the forum however both categories of users require security measures to protect their accounts from hacks and other cyber threats.below is a series of things one can do to protect them from such threats.
A lot of people may think the term “security” may be over hyped and are careless in handling their online accounts and it have seen a lot of of them lose their assets and accounts. In the internet and crypto space security is the most important thing one need to learn before any other thing else.

2.limit your logining into your account via public cafes or computer centers as this can pose threats to your login details such as email and password.if possible avoid using public cyber cafes for logging in, instead stick to using a particular personal device this will make it even easier to monitor your IP logins using this function below.
This is a very important point because when you log in to your account with different devices it increases the chances of your account being compromised as your account is being exposed. Having a private device where only you can access your account is the best because when there is a new log in to your account from a different device you will be logged out from your main device so one can easily know when there is a log in attempt.
3.Avoid using similar or same passwords on majority of your accounts or logins on different platforms.(try to make your passwords distinct and different.)
A lot of people are used to this practice of having same password for all their social media accounts and platforms which is a risky practice because once one account password is compromised then every other accounts is compromised and can easily be accessed. Just as OP mentioned it’s best to have a different password for each accounts.
5. Use the forum hide email address button to conceal your email.This feature is usually turned on by default for added security. However here is a guide to setting it up.
This is a good point and newbies should take note of this, their accounts might not be useful for hackers now but in the near future when they have increased in rank losing their account will be painful after moving up the rank so it’s better to safeguard your accounts from the earliest days so you don’t regret being careless in the future.
