Im talking about going from coinbase to blockchain when sending bitcoins.  So is that the blockchain.info?  When i mention blockchain in this site or other sites, everyone knows what im talking about.  So i assume its blockchain.info then? 


Yes i downloaded electrum but one fear of mine is if my computer goes corrupt or some thing like that happens.  I know as long as you have the 12 word phrase with you, its fine but that still pretty scary if the client or my computer has problems etc and thats why i want to just go with blockchain instead since as long as you have the password its fine.  Also it requires 2 FA whereas electrum doesn't.  So if someone has access to your computer... then obviously electrum isn't that safe then right compared to blockchain?


Also electrum use a password for every thing you will do ( send a payment, see the private key of an address , etc...). However I suggest you to use electrum, blockchain.info is not a good wallet.

If you want you can also use greenAddress ( with a second level of security "multi signature address").
