Topic: what is the most secure mobile wallet? (Read 3202 times)
Well for me its COIN PH wallet is the most secure cause it requires identification and government ID before u can create ur wallet,defies the legal and real details.so that assures me safety of my wallet and coins as well
I think the most secured and best mobile wallet is MyCelium. GreenAddress (aka GreenBits) is also fine.
If you have an IOS you kinda forced to use Bread wallet (which is ok - but not the best one).
Still.. its always advisable to not store larger amounts of bitcoins on mobile wallets.
Android phones are pretty vulnerable to exploits lurking around on the internet.

If Jaxx is not save, then does that mean all the mobile wallets are insecure? Then where should i keep all my coins?
you can try once elctreum because it is more safe and secure. but few coin users are using coinbase site it is not more secure i mean it has no more secure present. so you try to choose best site for keeping coins. in the electreum fee also reasonable and easy to keep savings. and another wallet is jaxx is also good and secure wallet.

You can try Electrum 
For me to use my personal wallet is mycelium as long as using this app I have no experience in issue about what is the best wallet. But many say the coinbase wallet is easy to transfer coin

As it is, it is very unsafe if you keep your coin in a mobile wallet. Because any mobile wallet must be vulnerable to account break-ins because it is vulnerable to viruses. It's a good idea to save your coin in a desktop wallet that is more secure than mobile wallet. I've tried it and I think it's pretty safe.
I always keep my Bitcoin in Coinbase. it is a good experience. In short, I find it safe and easy.

I think jaxx is safe i have used it for long time to saving ethereum on there, but still there are risk losing the digital coins on there, so i also used mycelium on android smartphone devices, jaxx to saving the altcoins and mycelium to saving the bitcoins, actually there are no guarantee our funds is safe in mobile wallet, so never put the digital coins in one devices and always do back up the private key.Eth or Etc? The Classic one had an issue a while ago and don't know if that was ever resolved completely or not.
If you want really safe of your bitcoin that immune to any virus better to try use hardware wallet like ledger nano s that you can hold different altcoins or you can also use in bitcoin..
This is i think much more safe than using other apps for mobile since the security of mobile is really low many viruses in android these days . since i'm technician i experience viruses that can get the email in android mobile or keylog your touch.. so always be safe if we use a 3rd party like ledger nano s..

Jaxx is insecure? I've heard about it a lot but never actually used it, although this is the first time I've heard it's insecure. Anyway, since android phones run apps in a VM a mobile wallet on an android phone is the most secure type of wallet short of a cold wallet (if you use IPhone then I can't really help you there).
It is insecure because they don't store your seed safely. This means that anyone with access to your device can steal all your coins without any problem. The worst part: Their devs are saying they won't fix those issues because they are "very comfortable with this security model for hotwallets" and they expect the user to "maintain control of their devices and keep them away from anyone that may steal your wallet".Not only this, but their wallet have a lot of bugs unfixed and you may end up losing your coins. Just check the tons of issues the users are experiencing in Jaxx's subreddit /r/jaxx/
On the other side, people may be overreacting. https://medium.com/@homakov/why-you-shouldnt-worry-about-the-jaxx-hack-6344a4c4a11
MyCelium hands down is secure.
Have been using it as my mobile wallet and never had an issue with it or had any thoughts of losing my coins using it.

Mycelum, Coinomi, or Electrum are 3 good wallets to consider; although if you're worried most about hacking then Coinbase or Blockchain.info would be best because they support 2FA.

I was using coinbase early and now I am using Mycelium wallet. I hope this wallet good security features such as private key seed adding, two factor authentication for using the wallet in website.
You can manage the fees also with the 3 steps options. Overall experience to use this wallet is good for me.
Yes I agree, I also use this Mycelium.
I have been using this wallet for a long time and have never been in trouble, whether it is in storage and withdrawal, in addition to that high level of security is very comfortable, only we who have special access to open our wallet, this is one suggestion Which is good for you.

Fees as of late on Mycelium have been ridiculous!! Sent $50 today and was charged over $8!!
8$ is too much for 50$, I thought that Mycelium was a good one bitcoin wallet in android mobile.
That is not right anyway, If this will continue perhaps all clients of mycelium will disappear little by little.
Almost all mobile wallets are secure, the major ones like Electrum, Mycellium, and Breadwallet. Any wallet which is based on a seed is more secure than any other wallet like blockchain for android. It is not recommended to keep a big amount of bitcoins in these type of wallets. Just keep a small amount for everyday use.
I believe mobile wallets are only used for convenience. I use coinbase mobile wallet because it is easy for me to send bitcoin to any address. It is easy to use and I can also see if I have received any bitcoin in easy way. In terms of storage, I prefer using a a desktop wallet which is offline. this gives more security for my bitcoin
You can try electrum mobile wallet its more secured and safe.. i think coinbase is not good right now so be aware about the issue in their site.. did you notice every time the price increase the site is unavailable.. so better to look for other secured and safe wallet like electrum mobile and i think the above post are also safe trezor is an offline bitcoin wallet..
There are ways to make coins usable on your phone and still moderately secure.
For example, you could buy a TREZOR and carry it with you (it's tiny), then connect it to your phone with Mycelium. That would keep your coins safe and you can use hidden wallets with additional passphrases on a TREZOR to protect against physical theft (not to mention the PIN system, but that could be vulnerable to 5-dollar wrench attacks).
In normal situations I would get Mycelium or Breadwallet and only hold as much on it as you'll need for regular transactions.
