Security is a point that is very essential for all people who invest in cryptocurrencies, and make use of wallets or wallets from different exchanges or multi-account wallets. We must always take into account greater security of our portfolios of digital assets, even if it is very annoying or tedious the fact of all its protocols, otherwise we would be very vulnerable to any cyber attack, where we can lose all our assets.
Therefore, I will mention some important points, for greater security of wallets, and why this aspect is so important in the current world of cryptocurrencies. Everything has been based on negative circumstances, which I have gone through and from there I have had to learn not to make the same mistake. Because in the end we are human, and to err makes us have a better knowledge.
Password
When creating our passwords, never use the same password as the email, as well as make a password that is more complex, with the use of capital letters, numbers and special characters. In this way, it is avoided that a hacker finds it easier to be able to violate the wallet accounts.
Two-factor authentication
It is a tool that allows us to have greater security, due to the fact that it is like an added layer of security, through applications, that gives us different numerical codes every 60 seconds, in constant change. All exchanges and even other accounts use this tool, because it gives additional security and makes it almost impossible for a hacker to determine the codes. Always activate your Two-factor authentication, and always keep your authenticator security keys, in case you lose your device or if you delete the application by mistake. I always recommend writing down several copies with paper and pencil, and not saving them on your cell phone or email, because even so these means can be vulnerable.
Email authentication
It is an option that we can activate, so that when someone tries to enter your account, a verification by email is needed, which authorizes this entry. Although an email is vulnerable, we can still enable this tool together with the other security options, and you can also keep a record of the devices through which it enters the account.
Authentication by sms
Although it is optional, it also complements the verification of entry to the account or any other operation, through text message. At this point, a cell phone number must be registered, in order to authorize the account credentials. In my case I have a secondary cell phone number registered, which I only use for that purpose, the reason is in case my main number will get lost, avoid the inconvenience when entering my account.
For me these 4 points are essential, which will give us greater security to our digital wallet accounts, and thus avoid any bad situation of losing an investment of digital assets or cryptocurrencies.
