Is it safe to manage multiple bitcoin wallets from one pc?

Check this out, they have an open source multiwallet app available for PC: https://telegram.me/HODLER_TECH_IN
They have a really great idea, this is the only open source multi available, and the team is actively working on the development of the project. Their wallet supports LTC, BCH, DASH, ETH and even ERC20 token. Knowing that it is an opensource wallet, surely the security feature is great. In addition, its cool since all wallet are organize in a single wallet. This wallet claims simplicity and security at the same time.

the web wallet has a risk of phishing if the user does not pay attention to the URL address

That's a risk, yes. But it is no the only risk.

The URL can look perfectly fine to a customer (because it is the correct URL entered), but you can still be redirected to a site controlled by the attacker.
This can happen through DNS spoofing. An attacker replaces the IP of the official server with his own IP in the DNS record for the web wallet site.

Once someone logs in into the attackers 'wallet', he might simply redirect the traffic to the official web wallet. Then, a few days later, he might empty all wallets at once.

You need to rely on DNS. There is no real way to secure yourself from such an attack (especially since the times of dynamic IPs). Using a web wallet is ALWAYS a bad idea.

Why do you want to use multiple Bitcoin accounts? If you're going to manage it, we recommend you use a laptop just for exchanging and making related transactions on that device. Using one tool for more than one job creates many opportunities for the hacker, so choose the best one.

Actually the security of the wallet is on you alone in hiding the password. It would be better if you write in a book and don't put it on your computer. Learn to be careful.

I am not sure for that idea because i can't try already to make more wallet in one pc, i use different gadget for my coins.

But i think it safe the important need to safe the private keys of every wallet to avoid loses, incase your pc corrupted the keys is in safe keeping to reopen your wallet into another computer or gadget.

I think it's too risky to store and manage wallets in 1 PC. it would be better if you store outside your computer device. At least you have anticipated that your wallet is safe. This is just a suggestion.

For online wallet, it will be good. Because put all coins in 1 site is not really good thing to do. But at least you put 2fa on every wallet that you have. And don't every jump into phishing site or always keep your computer safety.

no it's not safe
never use a web wallet
always use hardware wallet or use electrum it's much safer
the web wallet has a risk of phishing if the user does not pay attention to the URL address

Yes off course you can manage bitcoin wallets on a single pc as many as you want. I think there's no problem by using multiple crypto wallet as long as you can remember or secure your privacy with your wallet accounts. In order for that you can try creating more account users in your own computer to manage easily each of your private wallet. And also you should encrypt your wallet accounts information to prevent from others who accidentally views or visit your computer.

Yes, it's very safe. You can not split your wallet and save it in different computers. It takes a lot of time for you to check all of your wallets and you have to spend money to buy more computers. It is best to keep your wallet in a single computer and keep your wallet password safe.

I have my wallet on my phone and it is safe. I used google authenticator to keep it safe and only me who knows about it. It is best way to secure wallet because I am the only one who makes transaction on it and keep my password secure as well and being save where I am only the who have access.

whether it is a hardware wallet, wallet software, or an online wallet. if it's an online wallet, I think it's safe. the most important thing is to store private keys and make backups. in a safe place. if it's wallet hardware, I don't think it's good. because currently many viruses can attack or retrieve data on a computer. so it's vulnerable, except save on ledger, trezor.

It's safe to use a lot of wallets on one PC, if you keep your PC secure properly such as:
use updated os
keep privatkey never given to others
do not open an unknown email
always update antivirus
I think this is a sufficient way to become your PC, for more details you can ask about this to people who are experts or experienced in this field

Yes it is safe if you are the only one who using that computer and no one can know your security. If that computer is your personal I suggest that use a offline wallet to make sure that no one can hack your account because right now their are so many hacker and greedy in money so that if you are using many wallet try to use offline wallet and try also the hardware wallet to make it sure that you are the only one who are using your wallet.

Well, this is a very important question to all the investor for keeping safe their wallet. I think it's possible to save multiple wallets in a single pc. First, we need to make a strong password and save it on my private diary. There are some investors like to keep their money in multiple wallets so they must keep private their private keys as if other people don't know about it. Wallets information must be hidden in the store with a strong password, therefore, a bitcoin user can save his multiple wallets with a single pc.

As long as you can mentain the privacy to those wallets I think you will be OK, I have been on this cryptocurrency business for sometime now and I know the power of your wallets private keys and backup keys as long as no any other person have access to your wallets or device you will be safe with that.

Yes . It's a easy one ,but you have to save your wallet by some security settings.You can use two factor authentication.It's best to secure your wallet.If you sink your mobile with the wallet,it will be more safety.To login your wallet,the hacker should access your phone too.Which is not a easy task.So by two factor authentication, your wallet is safe.
