Im just using 2 wallets.First is blockchain and xapo.I use xapo because i feel really secure about xapo'z features.You dont need a 2FA because its all automatic that your account is protected with pin code even without using their app
Xapo is a good one plus they send bitcoins by mixing, I mean the receiver never knows who sent the coins actually. Moreover they manage fees themselves somehow which is quite awesome for me. I use directbet casino as hot wallet for now but I used xapo a lot in past (recent past ) and it was quite awesome too.
I use xapo before but i experience problem about this wallet.. until now i can't open my xapo account all my earnings from faucet is there..
The only problem that i get there the confirmation that i receive from xapo is not working when i am logging in..
After contacting them it takes long time before you will receive their reply so i don't use it again because of that problem now i convert into coinbase is for small transaction and electrum is my main.  i never experience bad in electrum in coinbase i experience of pending issue but they can resolve it..

Coins.ph wallet because it is more convenient for me and its also secure we can cash in or cash out with no hassle but there are limits in cash out if you want to cash out huge money you can verify yourself by uploading your identification card in their app.

I myself use 3 different wallets. One is on my Android device, one on my desktop PC and one online.

The one i like the most is on my desktop, MultiBit. I like it because you can quicky generate new deposit adresses and keep track of your incomes and outcomes. I only use Blockchain for some payments, and on my mobile phone i have MyCelium wallet, which i use for mobile/QR code scanning payments.

What wallets do you use and which one do you prefer and why?

I am two different web wallets which is blockchain.info and a local web wallet that has various services called coins.ph . I am using blockchain.info for holding purposes , I am storing some amount to blockchain in order to save and hold my bitcoin and I am often using coins.ph because of its services where I can buy mobile prepaid load and I can pay some of my bills .

I only use 3,in the principles of not putting all your eggs in one basket I use Electrum for my desktop wallet,blockchain and anonymous tor wallet but the I use more on all my transactions is the blockchain.info I use the two for storage purposes.

Right now I use a coinbase wallet and a ledger wallet. My coinbase wallet is used for receiving small amounts of Bitcoin and then my ledger wallet is used to keep most of my Bitcoin so that it is safe.

no one uses core anymore? lol

I use core 13.0 (64bit) and I have about 12 backups of wallet.dat around the UK (and one in spain) lol

I use this as I dont trust ANYONE with my coins.

think about it, your money on someone else's machine, with your password, is still not yours ^^
Would be a better idea as soon as one starts having tons of bitcoin, to warrant those backups, until then I think my coins are good at blockchain and Xapo, though I have been putting my Xapo wallets to greater use, because those fees at blockchain actually adds up overtime to something significant.

My accumulated coins are still very few, so I  don't need an excessive number of wallets to manage them, especially because I am continuously moving my money into different investment schemes. Xapo has been enough for me, but I also have a blockchain wallet to use it when necessary.

I would recommend u to mycelium wallet because it is very convinient to use in every way .and the user interferance is very good in every other way .

I haven't used mycellium, I'm already contented with blockchain because I find it more easy to use or else in the future I will try to have some other wallets if I'm not satisfied anymore with blockchain. But as of now, I'm contented to use blockchain. I have used coinbase, but I stopped with it I'm not enjoying its usage that's why I went back to blockchain.
Actually blockchain to me has become a pain since its last upgrade because each time I want to copy address I have to go to manage address and copy the old one, since clicking on receive simply gives a new address each time.

Plus signing message and all has become a issue for me and top of all it asks me to confirm email every hour I login, come on I cannot use it anymore. I am now using poloniex wallet until something good comes.

Why dont you try desktop wallet which is very light weight and simple to use, i am using electrum and its very easy , just have to install the wallet and keep safe the password , so when ever if the wallet is crashed or computer is crashed i just have to install the copy and add my old password and their my old wallet is ready.

Keeping bitcoins in any exchange is not safe as you dont have control on that wallet and if exchange gets hacked or scammed your coins will be lost and you will never ever get it back.

I don't know that why you are facing all that issues I am also using blockchain and do not feel tired to follow the security routes made for my security from them but with all of them I feel my bitcoins more secured and I think the address do not changes when we click on the receive button.

I use Blockchain wallet. I count it the most safe place to keep my bitcoins and coins of everybody. I have even not tried any wallets, so I can't judge any other wallets. But to me it is also interesting to know other people's opinions about bitcoin wallets.

I only use blockchain for iPhone. For me the best wallet. TouchID and SMS for verification is a good way for safety. I'm happy with blockchain. Was using a lot of other BTC wallets for iPhone but that's the best on my opinion.

I am using blockchain from the beginning.And I think blockchain is most popular and easy wallet.I didn't face any problem while using it.Again, I can Use its app on my Android and that's really cool designed.also there is 4digit pin to access on it.I am satisfied with blockchain security.

The security measures that you need to go through are definitely important, but they don't save you from inside jobs or hackers somehow getting access to the hot wallets from blockchain.info. Nowadays people should not only look and think at hackers, but all the more on inside jobs. I don't say stop using it, but when you have a decent amount of coins, then better download yourself a proper client such as Bitcoin Core for offline storage of your coins.

Though they have a pin code system for logging in but i would still suggest using 2 Factor Authentication because having a stronger security is always better specially when it comes on bitcoins, i also use Xapo wallet mostly and i'm having 2FA as well for more safety.
