I would recommend against this. Online wallets are a lot more risky than cold storage, and putting all your eggs in one basket (aka one wallet) is never a good idea. That doesn't mean you should go crazy with tons of wallets, but spreading the risk is smart IMO. 2fa helps but is not foolproof. Are you using windows or another OS? IMO using windows makes it a lot less secure as there are so many ways for you to have malware on your computer.

It is not as safe as keeping them in 2 wallets. Reason is you might lose your private key to one wallet, or it's possible it could get hacked in some sort of fashion. You just never know. Better to spread your funds through multiple Paper Wallets/Cold Storage. But not too many that it is a chore to keep up with.

If you really need online wallet, you should activate 2FA, use strong password and don't login from unsecured/public PC.
But, if you only use bitcoin from your PC, i would recommend you to use SPV wallet such as Electrum which is more secure, lightweight and also easy to use.

I heard that it is not safe to keep all the bitcoins at one online wallet.

Keep it in different wallets and I suggest cold wallets are better to keep.
Good luck.

Is it safe to keep all your Bitcoins in one wallet in blockchain.info? I have 2FA activated but still.

Are asking about splitting them up on multiple wallets all on blockchain.info?

If so then yes, it is equally safe to keep them all in one blockchain.info wallet or in multiple blockchain.info wallets.

If someone hacks blockchain and takes the private keys for wallets then it does not matter if they are in multiple wallets or one. I guess maybe a small chance that they only get one of your wallets not both/all.  Tongue

Thats very risky to keep online all your bitcoins.
Keep most in paper wallet for example.

Need some spare btc for a new PC
Is it safe to keep all your Bitcoins in one wallet in blockchain.info? I have 2FA activated but still.

I'm keepin mine on blockchain.info without 2FA, and didn't have any issues at all, altho I'm keepin small amounts. If you have high amounts of btc, you'd be better off with a cold storage.

Cold wallet? Why not?
Online wallet? Bad idea.
