Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): Utilize 2FA whenever possible to add an extra layer of security to your Bitcoin accounts. This typically involves providing a second form of verification, such as a code generated by a mobile app, in addition to your password.

All passwords are only on a flash drive, preferably encrypted, and also never write information in messengers, even to yourself and do not connect wallets to unverified sites.

I prefer to keep my cryptocurrency in a cold wallet and not worry about the safety of my coins.

I would recommend storing in a hardware wallet. Hardware wallet is a type of cold wallet, providing one of the most secure ways to keep cryptocurrencies. It is an external, physical device that stores your private keys to keep your crypto assets safe from online threats.

You can only use it when connected to a computer or mobile and only transactions authorized by you gets approved.

Choose a hardware wallet that is open-sourced such as OneKey as it means that the code is transparent, and also to have your private key stored in a separate microchip, which makes your hardware wallet truly offline and secure.

[font=Söhne]对于Trust Wallet,我最欣赏的是将安全性护理作为考虑因素。对于一个经常使用数字货币的用户,Trust Wallet 的本地私钥存储让我感到非常放心。它简洁的界面和丰富的功能也让我感到非常放心。让我的交易体验变得更加美好。无论是存储、交易还是探索新的DApp,Trust Wallet都是一个不错的选择。[/font][/size]
