I normally use myetherwallet for storing my Ethereum based tokens. I am from a country where the economy is really bad and cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology has being a life saver, but the recent hack of mew DNS servers. I fear losing it.
Please what are the best alternatives to securing tokens while storing them.
I want advice on the best alternatives to Myetherwallet
The simplest methods are listed on the MyEtherWallet home page.
1. Install the plugin for Google Chrome, which is called EtherAddressLookup, it will warn you if you go to the site on a phishing link.
2. Keep your private key in a safe place, preferably on a separate medium. You can add it to the archive with a password, or split it into two parts to make it completely safe.
3. Go to the wallet using the Keystore / JSON File (the File which is downloaded when you register the wallet). To steal the Private Key is much easier than the Keystore / JSON File.
4. To see all the tokens that are on the wallet, it is not necessary to go into the wallet itself every time, use the ethplorer website.io or etherscan.io, it is convenient to do it directly in the plugin EtherAddressLookup.
5. Install the HTTPS Everywhere extension, which forces the site to switch from http to https.
6. You can also install Metamask and Cryptonite by MetaCert plugins.
