Instead of posting link of someone's post, get yourself a Google Authenticator and enable the 2fa on your email or gmail account. Create a unique password.

You have not written anything new. Just posted a link which was posted a long ago by another user. In this case what is the purpose of posting it?https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-sign-a-message-990345
I had written a instructional, but then I found the link above, which is far more detailed and experienced than what I had written. Since it is an old post, that had been lost, I decided not to delete this thread, but link to the very informative post.
You're welcome.

Well, staked Bitcoin address with signed message can't protect us from hacks. Risk that your account can be hacked still remains. You can protect account by using strong unique password and using 2FA on email. Also, avoid phishing websites. Signed message from Bitcoin address is only a tool to recover hacked accounts. And to be honest, even if you will have it, there are no guarantee that admins will recover your account. They rarely responds to these messages and many users are waiting months or even years to recover their accounts.

There is already a great tutorial from @shorena. It explains everything someone needs to know about how to sign a message using different wallets.

What's the point of generating a safe and offline paper wallet if you are going to import it in Blockchain.info's web wallet? Wtf.
Please change your tutorial from "using Blockchain.info to sign a message" to "using Electrum to sign a message"; Or even better: "using Electrum offline cold-storage to sign a message".
