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

Try to learn using desktop wallet instead. It is more secure and you can flexibly control your Bitcoin by yourself. You can also make a backup wallet and generate your own private key as well. Using third party wallet is never a wise decision. The only advantage while using them is that you can reduce the fee

I used to also use online wallets at first and saw all the disadvantages of it and all the advantages of a desktop wallet. You could also use a mobile wallet.

I use Bither wallet on the PC, because its so easy to control each address. Easy to import, export and create addresses. Also it has a feature to generate a vanity address without using command line. It has a GUI for creating vanity addresses. Which is nice.

For mobile, I use an IOS device, so what I use is bitwallet. Similar to bither wallet, address management is quite easy. But it doesn't have any more features other than that.

Almost every user here prefer Blockchain.info wallet in the first or second place. I have been using Blockchain wallet since few years. Till now haven't experienced any flaws in transaction, security and confirmation. So I haven't used or preferred any other wallet other than Blockchain.info

I have a feeling that popular online walets are more prone to hacking because hackers keep trying to get access of them and therefore should be avoided to keep largers amount.
Not that they do not employ best safeguards but why take risk when you have choices

I use mycelium, it's fast, very easy to use. I'm also planning to buy a hardware wallet called trezor, I've read a lot of good feedbacks about the wallet so i might buy in the future.

I'm also using blockchain and coins.ph for personal wallet, for saving, loads and transmitting purposes. I really felt safe and secure using it . There is a lot of security forms which is fine for me to fill out before anyone can target the account.

Just looking at the last pages of this thread and I'm seeing that a lot of people are exclusively using web wallets to hold their coins.
I hope you're not holding large amounts there, since you're taking a pretty big risk in my opinion.

They were saving it and already agree with all kind of risk for using the online wallet, May the online wallets was offering, and simple requirement and friendly users for everyone was being new in the crypto world.

But the trezor and electrum still being the best choice.

My choice of wallet that has a fast transaction is blockchain.info wallets. Aside from being fast their address keeps on changing per transaction that will make your wallet safer and hard to trace.

And the second one is coins.ph, wherein I can buy load pay bills and freeze my bitcoins by converting it to peso wallet.

As of now, I only use two and I am still discovering other wallets. I'll update this thread when I have new wallet to recommend.

I think you will still need to verify or authenticate such sms google auth, because the code will always change and it will make you safe, but if you use a pin code, they could hack into your account because you're always using the same right?

And the other reason can be usually when we play a games or etc that bitcoin related always should use xapo wallet, they require us to have xapo wallet for they sent the payment in bitcoin.
And the primary wallet of course i am using blockchain since first time i entered in bitcoin world.

I mainly use 2 wallets one is BLOCKCHAIN and another one is unocoin because its has more features than any other wallet.

And would rather prefer blockchain because its has good transactions options available . Wink

I never heard about unocoin but i just search it in google just now that it is a wallet for india but for me i prefer to use electrum i never experience of any problem about this wallet i already backup all private key and seeds incase of any problem i can install private key to other wallet or i can reinstall electrum once there is a problem or error about this wallet i can use the seeds.

The other wallet is coinbase that i use only for small transaction because they are not asking for a fee..

Electrum, the simple interface and because you don't need to synchronise the wallet to use it. Online wallet I like Xapo too

I use web wallets because I am on the go all the time and need access to it from my university dorm at any computer. They don't allow usbs to be plugged in the computer that are on the network so this is the reason why I use them.

That said, I also use blockchain for receiving small amounts, but I use a paper wallet, armory and Multibit HD for larger amounts.
