Method Five:[/b][/color] You Don't Need to Login to your wallet every time to check if you received a coin from airdrop or bounty.
This is mostly the reason people log in to their wallet frequently to check if they have received a coin from an airdrop or bounty. There are some third-party explorers that enable you to check coins/Token you received in your wallet, without you needing to log in to your wallet all the time. example of such explorer is etherscan.io ethexplore.io. I personally prefer to use etherscan.io

This is good advise. Unless, you need to send your Bitcoin elsewhere there is no reason to open up your wallet for the sake of it. Even if it is on a offline computer, and is generally secure.

I haven't accessed some of my wallets for 2 maybe even 3 years in some cases. Yeah, they are cold storage, but I haven't even accessed them to claim forked coins as that just doesn't interest me. Plus, it would require a lot of work to get my private keys.
