Personally, I just use lastpass and generate random passwords for each account.

The best thing way to do it... you never have to worry about remembering different passwords either!

well lastpass is something new to me
i will try it, thanks guys

And you could also try Keepass which is open source. Smiley

recently i saw many account have been hack... Sad
Is secret question can doubling my account protection ?

Need more suggestion guys...thanks

1. use strong password with many special characters (min. 13 characters)
2. use best antivirus and firewall programs to protect your PC from malware and keylogger
3. don't use guess-able secret questions answer
4. don't install suspicious programs, it can make you hacked

we must be carefull since higher level account can use for signature campaign and many of them sold in markets

make sure always logged out before shutdown your PC and use 2FA more added security for your account
Bitcointalk doesn't offer 2FA. Why do you want to log out before shutting down the PC, I see no effect if its your own computer.

Use a relatively strong password, send a pm with your address to someone(make sure you can sign a message with it). Get a anti virus and do not install suspicious softwares.

Not if it's a simple answer to a common question. Make sure you have a wallet address posted somewhere and you can recover your account if it gets hacked.
I have lost my original acc/ and now trying to get back it using the post I shared which contains my bitcoin address..! I hope I get it back.
If you don't want to share it in a post you can just add  it to your profile.

Use a unique (not used in any other site) long (12 or more characters) password with numbers, letters and special characters. Log in using secure methods such as your home computer, tablet or phone; avoid internet cafes, library computers or public open Wi-Fi. I no longer trust SSL to securely encrypt data sent through unprotected streams.

Send a message to a user who wouldn't delete it with your Bitcoin address. Theymos (the admin) suggested sending it to the user DefaultTrust and recording the PM's ID which can be seen in the link of the message in the Outbox section of "MY MESSAGES".
