- We must have our own way to keep our Bitcoin safe. The account we use must have a unique password, and not easily guessed.
- Do not equate account passwords associated with Bitcoin with other accounts such as social media, because it is vulnerable to hack, let alone the followers of its social media a lot.
- Use two-factor or 2FD authentication. Additional security layers are easy to apply. Quite a few apps like Google Authenticator as a 2FD installation provider. In essence, it works as a second security layer after the password. When you've entered a keyword into your account, the system will request a two-factor authentication code. The six-digit code does not need to be memorized because it changes every 30 seconds.
- And one more, do not trust everyone. Suppose we provide information about our Bitcoin account to our Mother, it is not impossible that our mother could just tell it to someone else. With the spread of such information will increase the potential for breaking.
Usually the wallet security system is almost un hackable specially the private keys unless you unknowingly gave them access too which is a common type of mistake by new to cryptocurrency world and internet basic security such as bookmarking your wallet website and trading platforms to prevent phising sites from fooling you.
Avoid downloading softwares from suspicious website and as much as possible find a provider whom you can trust, I suggest you download the legit and paid ones to prevent your devices from being infected by malwares.
