Do you guys have a better idea to avoid theft in the wallet?
Your Knowledge and Ideas will be more helpful if shared.

Buy a Hardware Wallet. I recommend Nano Ledger S but there are other quality hardware wallets out there. Am I claiming that the hardware wallet really can't be hacked? No. But I definitely think it's safer than downloading a wallet to your computer. The following are some of the advantages provided by hardware:

Compatibility with most cryptocurrency.
The wallet is only online when it is plugged into your computer so that the opportunity threshold is much lower.
The wallet protects your private key that is important for sending coins. In fact, unless you are very focused, you won't even know your private key!
The wallet can only be accessed with a pin code that damages the wallet after three incorrect attempts. What is the possibility of a thief guessing your pin in three attempts?
This wallet is supported by a 24-word password that you need to record and keep it in a safe place. I recommend storing passwords in 2 or 3 different locations to be safe. If you lose your wallet or corrupt your crypto, you can return it with this password.
Each transaction must be confirmed by a button on the wallet itself. The wallet will also display the address you sent your coin. Never push a button unless the address in the wallet matches what is on your screen! The wallet is always correct.

As you can see, the wallet protects against various hacking attempts; even protect you from your own stupidity. You cannot give your private key (something you should never do) if you don't even know them!

Dang, no sMerits. Not now! I could have given you one since you put great detail in how specific can hardware wallet be. Although I never bought one of those hardware wallets that I might really plan on doing really soon since I might hoard up now in buying BTC and I might need a tight wallet for that. I don't want to stay in my typical local wallet that might just screw up sometimes though.
