Keeping your trading account secure is non-negotiable in Web3. Here are some essential practices to protect yourself:
• Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) – it's your first line of defense • Use strong, unique passwords that you don't recycle across platforms • Never share your private keys or seed phrases with anyone • Be cautious of phishing links and verify URLs before entering credentials • Regularly review your account activity and connected apps • Consider using hardware wallets for storing larger amounts
Staying vigilant about security doesn't slow you down – it keeps you in the game. These simple habits can prevent the vast majority of account compromise incidents. Make it a routine 💪

Is a hardware wallet really necessary? I was just thinking of using a cold wallet for larger positions and a hot wallet for daily transactions... Does that seem enough?

Honestly, a hardware wallet is really a must, otherwise I can't sleep peacefully.

That's right, 2FA really can't be skipped. I knew a guy before who didn't use it and got hacked directly.

Seed phrase leaks happen way too often. After seeing so many, I've become numb. 2FA must be enabled; otherwise, you're asking to have your account cleared.

Honestly, 2FA and hardware wallets are the most critical. I’ve done most of the other things, but I still almost got phished... I need to be more careful.

Honestly, hardware wallets are really the killer for lazy people, but it seems like we can't do without them...
