You should use core wallet for all ETH and your token! You should use it on a computer that is not connected to the Internet and peripherals can transmit information outside. Good luck

So simple mate , make more copy of your private key then keep it on your laptop or sd card which is no one can locate where it is and no one knows as well. And also don't ever share your private key to anyone specially to those people who always offer something for your private key 'cause it's obvious (ponzi) and stay away also from any ads that related on crypto 'cause nowadays there are some auto dload ads that can get your private information such social media accounts and etc which one's you click it ,
