Title: secure a wallet other than 2FA?
Post by: ayatoslaw on October 04, 2018, 09:16:04 AM
A few days ago my friend lost some of his coins, when he saw the coin had moved to another wallet address, even though the wallet has been activated by 2FA, do you have any suggestions besides using the 2FA feature in the wallet? because even though it's been activated, my friend still has a hacker attack.

He can buy one of the hardware wallets like TREZOR or Ledger, where you must physically confirm every transaction you send out. If you lose your wallet, the assets on it can be restored using 24 seed words that you generate upon wallet initiation. May I ask how the funds got compromised despite using 2FA? Did someone got access to his account (password, mail) and phone at the same time?

I think this not about a hacking tools, I think 2FA is really safe for our wallet authentication but if we use it by follow the rules, even if we are using Trezor or Ledger if we can't follow the rules to make our wallet become safe. we will lost our assets too. So that depends by the user how to make our wallet become safe.
