Five effective ways to make your crypto more
secure
Introduction
Cryptocurrency is a fantastic payment option that differs from traditional cash in
many ways. In any event, it faces a range of issues and dangers connected to
cryptocurrency security, such as cyber assaults, phishing, and so on, since it is
subject to the fewest regulations and standards. As a result, if you use
cryptocurrencies, you should exercise care and get familiar with all of the methods
available to safeguard the security of your bitcoin wallet.

1) Keep track of your wallet's transactions.
Install a monitoring tool on your crypto wallet's public address to be
notified of any suspicious transactions.
This tool may be very beneficial to any seasoned investor with a well-
diversified portfolio. If you have a large amount of coins and tokens and
don't trade them often, the software may send you an SMS or email
alerting you to any changes in your wallet.

2)Never give a third-party exchange your secret keys.
Cryptocurrencies are often stored in a digital wallet that requires access
to private keys. You may trade bitcoins on a number of different websites.
A few exchanges provide the option of keeping customers' private keys
on their servers to enhance crypto holders' accessibility. It's beneficial,
yet it increases the risk of a break-in.
Private keys used in online crypto transactions may be lost if they are
compromised. As a result, you should keep your private keys away from
online auction sites. The best choice for ultimate protection is to use
"Cold" digital wallets.

3)Uninstall any remote-access software on your PC.
Remote-access software may allow hackers to get access to your whole
computer system with only a string of characters, jeopardising the
security of your wallet. As a result, never install remote-access software
on your computer, especially if it includes your private keys. Also, if you
have such software currently installed, remove it right away!

4)Using two-factor authentication is a fantastic concept.
Cyber criminals employ a variety of methods to get access to investors'
and crypto customers' crypto wallets and steal their digital money. As a
result, to minimise the danger of possible damage, two-factor
authentication, a robust security feature, is needed. It improves the
security of your bitcoin wallet. Only you will be able to access your wallet
account due to two-factor authentication. Furthermore, if someone tries
to enter into your wallet account, you will receive an immediate code
alerting you to the attempted login.
