    One of the best practices for securing your Coinbase Wallet is to enable two-factor authentication (2FA). This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second verification step, such as a code sent to your mobile device, in addition to your password. It helps prevent unauthorized access to your wallet even if your password is compromised.

    Another important practice is to use a strong and unique password for your Coinbase account. Avoid using easily guessable passwords and consider using a password manager to generate and store complex passwords securely. Regularly update your password and avoid reusing it for other accounts to minimize the risk of being hacked.

    At BYDFi, we highly recommend using a hardware wallet, such as Ledger or Trezor, to store your digital currencies. Hardware wallets provide an extra layer of protection by keeping your private keys offline and away from potential online threats. They are considered one of the most secure ways to store cryptocurrencies.
