Topic: How do you keep your crypto informations securely? - page 7. (Read 2652 times)
A handwritten diary performs better for me. I never keep passwords in any digital formate. I write down every key and passwords manually. It's the safest option for me. Now, do you want to know where I keep my diary?
This is easy to do. You don't have to do so much to be safe. The internet and apps has made it easy for us. Simply allow your browser save them for you and use similar passwords for similar websites. For example I have same passwords for all my betting sites and for my crypto site investments I have same email and same passwords. So it's easy for me to easily recall what I used as my password than save it somewhere it can be seen by anyone.
I use a back up file, I save my wallet key and everything on my USB and hard drive, I backed up 3 files to make sure its really safe.
I have everything on two computers, more important information lies on the additional hard disk and flash drives. I do not use cloud and similar services. The file names have been replaced so that they can not be found by hacking. 
You should avoid clicking links from unknown entities, only visit or enter sensitive information on secure "https" based websites, avoid surfing malicious websites and don’t download or execute any file whose source you’re not sure of.
I store my private key in a USB flash drive. I think this is a very safe method. Others cannot steal my wallet over the Internet, but you still need to be careful when trading, to prevent being cheated, not to trade casually.
This is one of the very basics of crypto: how to store your assets.
Absolutely do not listen to anyone else that tells you web, pc, or smartphone based wallets are ok.
The only two options are cold storage and hardware wallets.
A quick google will give you thousands of people with experiences where they got hacked and lost their crypto.
Now, try to find any that have had their stuff stolen when they had properly stored it using a physical solution (cold storage or hardware wallet).
The most hardcore of people will actually put their keys in a safe or a vault.
I haven't gone that far but I use a combination of cold storage and ledger nano.
For my daily trades I use my ledger, for my coins I am holding long term I use cold storage.
And here is one benefit of cold storage, if you are a true holder, you really just want to lock it away and forget about it for 6 months or more.
Having it accessible and watching the price constantly is just too stressful.

There are a number of important safety and security practices that can help to protect your private keys and therefore protect your funds.
1. Secure Your Wallets
First, it is wise to find a wallet with security measures beyond the normal wallet providers. Some wallets are now using encryption to protect the private keys. Companies like Corion have created a code package that encrypts the key data and protects it from insider hacking.
2. Separate Your Funds, Use Cold Storage
3. Wi-fi Wisdom
Be careful about where you go online when you’re using a device that has a wallet on it. Dangerous websites and risky wi-fi networks put your wallet at risk. At the same time, do not leave your device unattended, or lend it to anyone.
4. Service Safety
If your device holding your wallet needs service, be sure to move the funds from the wallet before having service done. Further, it is wise to change wallets every few months in order to not allow the wallet security to grow thin over time.
5. Gone Phishing – Email and Web
Phishing scams are becoming more and more elaborate, make sure email received from wallet companies have their domain spelled correctly and never look for their web address clicking on Google ads. Once you send a phishing website your private key you can say goodbye to your funds.

For me i keep mostly all my crypto information in a small notebook because its easy to keep in a safe storage and i prefer to use hard copy. all of us have a different way of storing our information it is up to us how we safely keep our information, it is our responsibility how we keep our records safe and secure.it is ok asking other how they keep their own information so that we have other options base on other opinion.
I think you just need to save your private key. Don't store your private key on your computer or mobile phone. I think it is easy to be stolen. Then you can record your private key to yours. Above the notebook, or remember it in your brain.
Hi. We all have too many passwords, private keys, adresses, registration informations. I want to askt how you keep them. I dont ask you to explain where you put your ledger wallet For example, I keep my passwords and private keys on a simple document which I created on my laptop. This means that if I lose my computer or someone stoles it, I may lose too many things. What are your solutions? Is there any safe option? I have to get precautions before it is too late.
hello my friend For example, I keep my passwords and private keys on a simple document which I created on my laptop. This means that if I lose my computer or someone stoles it, I may lose too many things. What are your solutions? Is there any safe option? I have to get precautions before it is too late.create print-outs such as private keys, phases in printed form. Then, to be safe, the mold is better stored in the safety box.
the safety box put in a safe place
I have backup on my flash drive and i keep in in the safe deposit box, i think it is necessary to have a backup somewhere except on the internet because hacker can find a way to steal it. Also be careful when you are using a public connection to open your wallet, get a strong password and always be careful. If you have hardware wallet it's even better because the private key never leave the wallet.
I think you can use third party crypto security entities. If you don’t want to worry about the safety of these or you misplacing them, simply have these companies take care of them for you by getting their hardware wallets and storing all your data on there. Companies like Trezor, NanoLedger and LedgerHQ are pioneering the safe keeping of wallets and encryption keys.
I advise you to use virtual private networks (VPNs). A VPN creates a private tunnel over the open internet. The idea is that everything you send is encapsulated in this private communications channel and encrypted so -- even if your packets are intercepted -- they can't be deciphered. VPNs are very powerful and important tools to protect yourself and your data
You should not carry around too much cryptocurrency in your mobile wallet. Mobile wallets are great for daily usage and carrying around some spending money. But they can be dangerous too if you ever get ambushed and are forced to relinquish whatever is in your wallet. Worse still, your phone could get stolen, and you lose access to all that “cash”.
If your cryptocurrency investment strategy involves buying and holding, you should first go with a core wallet. Whatever the case, never hold cryptocurrencies in exchanges if you aren’t actively trading. If you do this, your wallet is at risk of being hacked whenever hackers target specific exchange networks.
If you insist on using a windows based PC, you can use VeraCrypt. People using MAC can use FileCrypt. These software will help keep your hard drives encrypted and impossible to hack in the event of a stolen device.
If I were you, I would setup a two-factor authentication (2FA) system. This essentially means double layer protection on top of your passwords. So, if someone for instance, were to hack your account and wants to change your password, you would be notified via email, text messages and even an automated call.
I'm using an online wallet . All data from this wallet I keep only on the flash drive ... when you need to go in the purse I connect a USB flash drive
