The question is what app that you have been used to store your money? If your 2 FA didn't work and i do believe if there would be something wrong with you or your app and if you didn't mention what kind of wallet or app that already used. You can try to enable 2FA verification and any withdrawal that will be happening in your wallet will require 2fa to be able to take it from your wallet. This is adding second security layer to your wallet but it's better if you can encrypt it as well. This is increasing the security of your wallet. Im always using 2 fa for every wallet or assets to make it even safer.

I use a lobstr wallet, I activated 2fa, but maybe it's true that you said something was wrong when I activated it, most likely the intruder had entered before I installed 2 fa

It is very important that all access that we consider important has security using 2fa because by using this system the possibility of our assets being stolen is very small so we will feel safe and calm when storing many assets on the platform. And seeing your case that you have lost tokens because the transaction has been carried out, you can only sincerely do it.

yes of course it is very safe, if the exchange platform requires using 2FA then use it,
because indeed 2FA will make your account and funds safe there,
we know the biggest enemy of the crypto world is only 1, namely hacker attacks, and 2FA will protect you, I'm sure that

2fa with mobile phone confirmation or email login code is the safest way for me. You can use 2fa alone but that leaves a lot of room to improve the security of your account. By pairing 2fa with an email login code or mobile phone login code, you'll have more leech way.

No security system is 100% perfect, there will always be loopholes to steal, hackers always think 3 steps ahead, this is what makes many companies pay dearly for security systems, and of course developments will continue to occur so the idea of using retina eyes is a solution for a better security system.

Yes, 2FA still has an exploit in which victims with 2FA devices got compromised and exported their master key to the other or hacker in this case. This requires getting victim's device hooked and compromised which is very hard but still not 100% impossible, especially if the victim is careless.

Nothing is 100% safe, but to protect our assets we should use the best asset protection methods and 2FA is considered the most effective solution today.

I also usually enable security features if it is available like 2fa, email, sms even prevent login from strange IP. This cannot guarantee 100% that my account will be completely safe but if hackers attack and try to take control of my account, they will take quite a while and I can react in time.

You should use 2FA with pin for transactions for full safety in your wallet. For using 2FA you should use extra phone by use 2fa aps. Although if you have completely all process then hacker can't hack your wallet. Even one plus point you need to avoid all fake message from your gamil account and never click any link.

Yeah for sure 2FA is safe in every way. it's secure your wallet by adding one extra step to logging into your Wallet/Account. 2FA is actually adding an extra layer of security to your Account/Wallet.
For the following Reason, 2FA is best for everyone
* Adding an additional layer of security to Account/Wallet
* Blocking hacker attacks automatically
* Secure your Account/Wallet rather than somebody knowing your password
After my studies at google, I discover that some new studies say that 2FA is not safe and
are being hacked and not using an intervention from the user. The assault is known as "man-in-the-center" but am not sure about it is the truth or lie.

It looks like the victim of "man-in-the-middle" accidentally clicks a phishing site that looks like a mirrored image of the target site. That way the user sends information to the phishers database then the phisher sends the data to the target website. So it is basically the owner sending information of his account to the phisher. Not the 2fa being hacked. No matter what the security in this scenario is, it will not prevent the phisher from logging into his account when the owner tries to log into his account.

Anything that adds a layer of security delays a hacker from breaking into our accounts. Email verification, 2fa, and mobile verification can increase the security of our accounts. Combining them can synergize the effect.

today I experienced an unexpected transaction from one of my wallets, all my assets were sold automatically, this is the first time I've experienced this, I didn't protect this wallet with a PIN and 2fa
can it be delayed after I use 2fa and PIN for all transactions?

I guess that transaction is already gone but it is important to always have a 2fa enabled in all your wallets apart from your pin too. There is not too much protection with your crypto assets. Regardless of whichever wallet it is, whether exchange wallets or other non-custodial wallets which are even regarded to be safer still I think we still need to have different levels of protection.

The cryptocurrency business is like Banking industries, as we see in our local environment, which every taller service customer care or cashier have it OTP, (One Time Password), for enable them to login into the given platform and also carried out transaction from one point to another. Having said that, it also applicable to a crypto wallet, which we have many wallet to store our Digital Asset, which you did not mention the platform your operating to store your asset. Therefore is very good to add and additional security on your wallet by Applying 2FA and PIN for a security purpose.

No, it's not safe. There is always a risk if the transaction is wrongly addressed. However, if the phone is damaged or we can get it back by saving the FA2Code, you can always set it up again in our wallet.

It seems like hackers are trying to steal and collect your digital money from your wallet by being hacked, especially if we connect Metamask and it turns out that the website token is a scam, our Metamask funds can be siphoned off like a dusting attack in my opinion.

There's no doubt that 2FA increases the security and control measure of the asset or account that uses it.
The issue about the safety of the asset due to the possibility of 2FA being compromised is another insight that should be thought through.

2FA is too effective in providing an assurance of security for most users. I was also having a hard time securing my funds before but when I started using 2fa, I feel more confident in storing my funds in my wallet. It's actually a struggle for more hackers because they can't hack wallets easily when 2fa existed. It may take a little time but you only have to secure your mobile number or email for the verification process.

We really need to set up the 2FA on our wallet for best security indeed.
I often heard about people losing his phone and the coins in the wallet are gone already.
Without 2FA, we will be vulnerable against hacks when we lose access of our wallet.

The same thing happened to me once but I sense I revealed my private key somehow, also the name of the wallet is coinomi, I later learnt that this wallet isn't as secure as trust wallet and other popular crypto wallet in the space, try using more popular crypto wallet and stay away from free offers or airdrops.

If I'm to choose between coinomi and trust wallet, I'll use both of them but will use most of the time Trust wallet. Also, the amount that I'll be putting there won't be that much because that's my first rule when it's about these wallets.
How can sort of revealed your private key somewhere? It's your practice that you've shown your private key to anyone and that shouldn't be done by yours.

Not every popular wallet is secured though. I would say that even my own local wallet sometimes blocks me out as I did not have complied yet into their KYC policy and it is quite annoying not gonna lie.
I don't think offers or airdrops itself would impact your security at all unless you were easily baited to a phishing site which what happened to me back then.

How can you reveal your private key of your wallet? Is this because your wallet is leaking data, or is it your own fault?

You think using trust wallet is safer, but this also depend on you. how you make your device more secure. You should make sure there is no virus in your device, if your activity is still not use and internet with safe browsing or installed app without checking permission request, then your account on trust wallet could be leaked. so, be careful.

2FA is an extra layer of security. I think everyone should apply it for all wallets and accounts. Because it will protect our wallet and account but it will not harm the wallet and account. So why don't we use it?

Quote from: Dollar_Hunter on June 27, 2022, 10:47:21 AM

In my opinion 2FA is very safe to use, because many exchanges also apply it, we as users must implement it,
but indeed one of the obstacles is when 2FA on our handphones is lost, it is difficult for us to manage it, this is the problem,

Even if you lose your handphone, you can recover your 2FA code if it is backed up. For example, if you save the QR code to import your 2FA code on google drive or somewhere else, you can import 2FA code later even if you lose your phone.

If we set 2fa on the wallet we use for every transaction here and other accounts we have, it will be very useful for our security so I think 2fa is very important for us if we use it. We will get a lot of security here.
