I always like to talk about security especially cryptocurrency wallet security. Only a simple mistake can cause irreversible loss. We should take care of your wallet. Steemit is a fantastic site which has a built-in security system. If you locked in your steem as steem power, You may not lose all your money. Hackers need at least 13 weeks to clear your account. In the meantime, If you are lucky you may get back your account.

A different wallet is available to store your cryptocurrency. If you use a hot wallet or online wallet, You need to be more careful. You need to keep your password safe, offline and inaccessible to other people. At first, Create a password which is difficult to hack.

Always Use:

  • Different password for different wallet
  • Mix your password with Upper and Lower Case.
  • do not forget to use a special character in the password
  • Minimum 12 words which are difficult to guess
  • Keep your password Offline
  • You may use a password manager like LastPass or whatever you like. Be sure it is safe to use.

My experience with KeepKey has not been great. It's a finicky little device. I've loved my Nano S and am thinking of getting a Trezor.

I was confused which one to buy. At last, I bought KeepKey. Nano s support lots of coin - great wallet indeed

I read many horror stories about folks losing their crypto coins for not taking the time to secure them.
Congratulation for your purchase of the Keep key cold wallet.

I have not much coin to store. Just my curiosity about Hardware wallet :)
