hi everyone welcome back to my new chamber today we're gonna be talking about how to keep your
cryptocurrency and data safe in this video we'll be explaining basic to advanced methods on how to
keep yourself safe for online security is usually an overlooked topic and it causes a lot of issues
in the crypto world of course there's always room for improvement and what we are showing you today
is mostly just basic things that we believe is really important to keep in mind first let's
talk about password management and why it's important password management is very crucial
to the security of your personal information and assets cybercrime grows by the day and the
only way to fight back is by trying to become more secure and aware of where you put your information
and what you click on here is a list of ways not to write a password one do not use generic
passwords like one two three four five six or even the word password itself - do not include
personal information and your passion like date of birth city phone number or anything like that
these types of passwords can be easily pawned 3 do not use the same password for everything for it
don't have things in common with each password and finally don't say their password to your browser
on the file or on your PC if you can remember all your passwords and they are probably not secure
or repetitive remembering each unique password you make is probably not the best way to go with it so
we recommend choosing one or two of the following ways to store your passwords one personal diary
for passwords this method is really secure but it may be less convenient if full security is
what you're looking for then write down your password in a notebook most people trying to
hack you into your account aren't usually people you know if you're worried you're gonna lose your
notebook we recommend getting a product called tile it allows you to see where your notebook is
at all times to using a password manager if you're looking for a more convenient method we recommend
using password managers password managers create long randomized password that will be saved on
your local device or on the cloud based on which password manager you choose password
managers are completely secure they do not save a plaintext form of your password instead they
are stored in an encrypted format then no one can decrypt without the master pass our top password
managers Pixar Mikey - Lane one password - a combination of both the password manager and a
personal diary honestly the best strategy will be utilizing both the diary and the password manager
to plan that out we recommend that you store your personal email passwords and your master pass in
the diary then storing utilities apps social media and logins for website on your password manager
now if you do happen to lose your master pass that you created for your password manager you
can recover all other applications through your emails if you follow one of the above methods
the chance of getting control of your personal or business accounts have increased greatly but
again that doesn't mean you're completely safe now let's talk about managing your email accounts
having good email accounts management skills is very crucial the benefit of managing your email
accounts correctly include one security - ease of use avoiding clustering your mailbox with
useless information or spam so how do you set up your email accounts the best way to set up your
email accounts is by creating and assigning each email to a different section of your life here's
an example your name at gmail.com will be linked to your social media online identity and public
information your name dot finance can be linked to finances emails for your banking accounts and
financial services your name crypto can be associated with your crypto accounts wallets
and exchanges and then your name dot others at gmail.com can be for all the other services
deleted a lot of spam we want you guys to feel free to customize the strategy however you like
the main goal is to section off your emails to avoid putting everything in one email so I know
it might feel overwhelming at first to change or organize your emails so here are some tips to get
you started first make a list of all the emails you use and all the services they are connected to
don't worry if you can't remember all of them just keep the list and eventually add to it once you've
finished your first list of all your current active accounts make a second list with the
new updated email accounts and placed underneath it all the accounts you want that new email to be
linked to for example your name at gmail.com can be looked in social media so it would be Facebook
Instagram and snapchat now your name finances can be linked to your bank accounts Capital One TD
Bank Chase whatever you have the final step is to keep your new email accounts as secure as possible
the best way to do this is by trying to follow the password manager steps I mentioned earlier
the first thing you want to do after opening up an account is enable two-factor authentication
most platforms now support it and it's really easy to setup two-factor authentication also
known as 2fa gives you a soft layer of security it income in multiple forms most commonly as an
SMS or an app or a physical key if you choose to use your phone number to link it for you to
FA then it will basically send you a message with that code on it that you need to input every time
you try to log in the second way would be using an app to link up your account and from there
you'll be able to get a randomly generated number each 30 seconds and then you can input that every
time you try to log in this method is much more safer than the SMS since there have been a lot of
sims whopping attacks and ways that malicious people can get hold of your phone number and
lastly the most secure method would be through using the physical security key those keys can
be plugged into the computer and then from there you'll be able to log into places that you have
it configured to use the hardware security keys since this method is very safe it does come with
some inconvenience if you do forget the key then you will have a hard time trying to log
in so just use whatever works best for you I do recommend using the two factor authentication
apps they are very convenient and easy to use and they do provide very good security when it
comes to choosing your internet browser it's hard to pick one that's private and convenient at the
same time usually when you want to go full privacy you do lose a lot of convenience so in this video
we will give you guys the best combination of a search engine and a browser that you guys can
start using today and remember this is only from our point of view there is a lot of browsers out
there some that will leak out a lot of data while others will keep you as safe as possible the best
browser for security and privacy will be the tor browser it follows the principle of Onion Routing
which means it's basically a multi-layer VPN so it's hard for anybody to locate where is the
original request coming from now looking at ones that will help you with convenience and security
at the same time we have brave and Firefox Firefox is a really good browser it's super user friendly
and it looks really nice plus it syncs really well between all other devices what makes Firefox
stands out is that it's very customizable and it gives the users freedom to basically do anything
on it and then we have the brave browser the brick browser is a lightweight well made browser built
on top of chromium it blocks the most amount of trackers and it has a built in https upgrades
and an ad blocker one really cool thing about the brave browser is that it has the option to
open a private window in tor which provides the privacy that tor promises by routing your request
through different servers before reaching their destination so it makes it seem like you have a
multi-layer VPN on brave also allows you to tip content creators using the bad currency
but we will go over that more in depth once we do a full review about the browser for now we
do have an article where we talk about the five top reasons we like the browser so please feel
free to click on it in the description below now once you pick your internet browser you can also
choose which search engine you want to start using there's a bunch of different options for search
engines and the most popular one is Google Google does maintain a long history of all your search
so it's not good to use them if you're looking for privacy but what we recommend is go doctor
go does not maintain any history of your search and it's very private in an awesome search engine
now the final security tip is connecting to networks I'm sure you all know that public
network is not the safest thing so you need to keep in mind whenever you go in public and let's
say you go to a cafe or anything make sure you don't tamper or touch your cryptocurrency in a
public network all your traffic can be read you can still use a VPN and that will detect
you a lot but you don't want to risk anything like that public network can also lead to evil
twin attacks which will be like let's say a Starbucks coffee Internet will be named the
Starbucks Coffee Network but then at the end of the day it's not a Starbucks Coffee Network it's
just somebody trying to portray them and then they'll be able to read your traffic so just
avoid public network in general when you want to try to deal with your own cryptocurrency
or any private data in general all right guys thank you so much for watching today's video
