For smaller, more frequent transactions, reputable software wallets with strong encryption and two-factor authentication (2FA) are acceptable. Never store large amounts on exchange accounts, as exchanges are frequent targets for cyberattacks. Diversify your storage by using multiple wallets for different purposes.
Beyond Wallets: Comprehensive Crypto Security Practices
Crypto security extends beyond just your wallet. Always use strong, unique passwords for all your crypto-related accounts, and enable 2FA wherever possible. Consider using a password manager to securely store complex credentials. Be vigilant against common scams like fake giveaways, imposter accounts, and "pump and dump" schemes. Never share your recovery phrase (seed phrase) with anyone, and keep it in a secure, offline location. Regularly update your wallet software and operating system to patch vulnerabilities. Staying informed about the latest threats is your best defense.
