In the real world, your wallet must be secured. Bitcoin allows you to transfer anywhere in a very easy way and allows you to control your money. The great feature also comes along with high attention to security. Bitcoin provides a very high level of security if used correctly. Always remember that it is your responsibility to take good security precautions in order to protect your money.
Warning... Be careful with online services
You should understand the different types of services designed to save your money online. Many online redpads and wallets have experienced security leaks in the past. In general they still do not provide certainty and security adequate to be used as a means of storage like a bank. We recommend you use other Bitcoin wallet services. If not, you should choose this type of service more carefully. In addition, it is strongly recommended to choose a service that uses two-factor authentication.
Small amount for daily use
A Bitcoin wallet is like a real wallet with cash in it. If you do not want to keep thousands of dollars in your wallet, you may also have the same considerations for your Bitcoin wallet. In general, it's a good idea to keep small amounts of bitcoin in your computer, cell phone, or server for everyday use and keep your remaining money in a safer place
Back up your wallet
By being kept in a safe place, wallet backup can protect you from computer malfunctions and other human errors. Backup also allows you to recover your wallet after your phone or computer has been stolen if you have encrypted your wallet.
Back up your entire wallet
Some types of purses use many private keys hidden inside them. If you only have a private key backup for your visible Bitcoin address, you may not be able to recover most of your money with your backup.
Online backup encryption
Any backup that is stored online is very vulnerable to theft. Even a computer connected to the Internet is vulnerable to malicious software. Thus, encrypting any backup that is exposed to the network is a good security measure.
Use many secure locations
One point of failure would be bad for security. If your backup does not depend on a single location, then it reduces the risk of bad things that could prevent you from recovering your wallet. You might also consider using other media such as USB keys, paper, and CDs.
Perform backups on a regular basis
You need to back up your wallet regularly to make sure all Bitcoin address changes and all new Bitcoin addresses you create will be included in your backup. However, all apps will soon be using a wallet that only needs to be backed up once.
Encrypt your wallet
Encrypting your wallet or mobile phone allows you to set a password to prevent others from using your funds. This helps to protect against theft, although it can not protect against hardware or soft typewriter.
Do not forget your password
Make sure you never forget your password or your money will be permanently lost. Unlike banks, Bitcoin only provides very few options for password recovery. You have to remember your password even though it has not used it for years. Just in case, you might be able to keep a copy of your password in a safe place like a safe.
Use strong passwords
Passwords consisting of only letters or easily recognizable words can be considered very weak and easy to break into. Strong passwords must contain letters, numbers, punctuation marks and a length of at least 16 characters. The safest passwords are those created with programs designed for this purpose. Strong passwords are usually hard to remember, so you should be careful to remember them.
Wallet offline for storage
An offline wallet, also known as "cold storage", provides the highest level of security for storage. With an offline wallet means storing your wallet in a safe place that is not connected to the network. When done correctly, offline wallets offer good protection against computer vulnerabilities. Using an offline wallet along with backup and encryption is also a good security practice. The following is a description of some approaches.
Signing of offline transactions
Hardware wallet
Keep your software up to date
