Always move your crypto from devices that need servicing. Does it seem like the battery on your computer isn't lasting as long as you like? Has your PC seemed a little warmer than usual? Consider moving your crypto from devices that may have trouble on the way. You don't need the most powerful computer to trade. You need a computer that functions properly. Consider the implications of getting your computer serviced with someone who will have full access to your files.      Never auto-generate or save crypto-related passwords. What if that PC gets the "blue screen of death"? What if your child decides today is the day to test the interaction between magnets and motherboards? Create strong passwords, but make sure that you write them down! Although auto-generating strong passwords through Google or Firefox is usually a reliable strategy for most daily online activity, it just doesn't cut it if you are taking  cryptocurrency seriously. Experts encourage using a strong password; but saving these passwords to your PC is a huge risk.    Turn off auto updates-but consistantly check for updates manually. This tip is important to remember, because it is easy to use the automation of computers as a crutch. We don't want to think about updates since they are so frequent, but a botched upgrade to your operating system can be really easy for hackers to exploit. Let's say your Windows 10 automatically updated last week and you traded cryptocurrency without any interference on that current version of Windows. If your Windows has a system update this week has an unknown vulnerability, your crypto can be at risk to nefarious entities (hackers, jealous friends, etc.) on the internet that want to exploit that vulnerability. The most responsible approach to software updates is to check daily-but disable automatic updates.    Use 2FA. For Facebook, Amazon, Twitch or any online platform that offers it, use a 2 factor authorization (2FA) to increase security. 2FA guarantees that no one is using your identity unless they have your phone. While you're at it, you might want to change your phone lock screen numbers from"1111" to some other 4-digit code. You don't want to have your fingerprints saved to it, but neither does that shadowy figure in the alley. Use 2FA or consider yourself easy pickings for cyber ninjas.    Never use public Wi-Fi. You need to make sure that you are exchanging cryptocurrency on a secure network. For now, try to keep your cryptocurrency activities tied to a server that you can trust.
