We're all aware of the risks of keeping our coins on online wallets and exchange wallets, but many of us still keep our coins on our own devices.

Are we keeping our devices secure? Its instinctual to not leave your fiat money wallet unattended in a public place but what about your bitcoin wallet? Are you leaving leaving the laptop you're writing your novel on the table at Starbucks when you go the bathroom? The laptop with your electrum wallet, your life savings.

Where does the line between paranoia and reasonable physical security meet?
I don't have any hardware wallet, but for my exchange wallet security, I used google 2fa authentication and I didn't connected my device into internet to keep it safe. and in my circle it's only few people know about crypto so I don't worry about that. what I was worried about was that my laptop had a virus due to visiting a suspicious website.
