Thank you for this useful meta-thread but I'm little bit surprised to not find any topic about multisig wallets there while it's one of the best ways to secure funds IMHO.
You just need to install a multisig wallet on your computer and another one on your smartphone to get a kind of secure 2FA wallet. Then you just need to scan the QR-code of your transaction with your smartphone when you want to send some funds.
I see two guides on it.
"multi-sig" or pay to script hash addresses (those with the 3)
Sending a transaction from a multi-signature wallet

It's good u really taken time to inform us of our safety of our wallet, indeen scanners are in the rampant, it's also necessary to work with the relevant security agency put in place to check cybercrime or scanner, constantly updating ur password and most time google authentication do help

I've read through some of the listed threads over the past couple of months and the contents were super helpful.

@OP, I wrote a security related thread in November 2019 about phishing attacks and I also shared some resources that would help mitigate if such a case does happen. I'll appreciate if it gets a spot on your list/collection.

Link to the thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.53078705

Security and privacy are two very important  things that should be taken very seriously. You're doing a good job. Keep it up.

It is good to see all the security & privacy related topics on one thread. Even I had started a topic(Missing Out The Important Topics!!) for collecting all the important topics which are getting vanished as the new topics created. Good job @OcTradism, I appreciate the effort.

I am contributing a few threads related to security and privacy here. I hope that helps!

Nice thread, as of this community quarantine, we should make something productive. Securing our wallet is really important, it will make our accounts away from hackers. Those wallet that is not well secured are prone from attacks that is why there are many wallets that have been stolen by the hackers because of having lack of securities.

A small way I have made myself have a bit more privacy is getting away from Google and its Products.
I dont know if this is a a thread to put on the list, I was just amazed how much Data Google had on me and was constantly collecting.

I found two important topic on security and privacy. You can bookmark it.
1. Bitcoin’s Public-Key Security Level
2. CoinJoin: Bitcoin privacy for the real world
Thank you. They are excellent threads. I read them but don't totally understand all details. In the long lockdown period, I wish I will learn as many useful things on privacy and security from them. The OP was updated with your help.

Eh, there's some advice in that article that really isn't great.

Both 1Password and LastPass are proprietary and closed source. You should use an open source manager such as Bitwarden or KeePass instead.

SMS based 2FA is not secure. Use an open source authenticator app such as Authy or Aegis.

"Install a VPN" is poor advice as many people would default to using a free VPN, which almost always makes your security and privacy worse, not better. You need to research and pay for a good VPN.

Biometric security (facial recognition, fingerprints scanning, etc.) is much easier to fool and bypass than a strong password. Don't use it.

Let us all make our day under community quarantine be productive, good thing for you is that you spend your time on more valuable things, learning is for lifetime, there is no limit on learning new things because time by time everything evolves especially in the field of technology where having new is really quick and upgrading always happens. For us to go with the flow of emerging technology, we should keep learning especially about technology because in the end of the day technology will be the best, there are so many things that technology can bring to us.
Learning about securities and protection of accounts is really important because of so man hackers and scammers in the crypto world.

If there was a topic that would belong to this list, it would probably be this airgapped wallet guide[1] by Sowik.

It's much better that you spend your time during lockdown like the ones you mentioned. Increasing your security at this time is recommended. Scammers are taking their chance to scam people and if you don't know much about keeping your security and privacy tight then this one will help. You should also add a thread about google authenticator or authy if some people prefer using it.
