Yes, you can have the hardest password in the world, it will be useless if your computer is compromised. A double authen with phone will prevent that to happen.


And can't be brute forced

I have recently made my first BTC deposit into my blockchain.info wallet. I have printed out a paper wallet. I have also had a backup created and I have downloaded the multi-bit desktop app to use the backup with if needed.

I created a 10 digit password and another longer digit double password for transfers. Double encrypted now.

From your experience, are my BTC still vunerable? If so, what steps should I use to secure further?

Thanks in advance.

Two factor authentication is must. If you do not have Google authenticator or YubiKey, at least enable email in two factor.

Get a Yubikey. If you have a keylogger on your computer, you could be tripple encrypted with 20 character passwords and it means nothing. If you've got bitcoin, you basically need One time password devices. I use Google Authenticator as well as Yubikeys.
