Taking your own security seriously most definitely is for beginners. It is where everyone should start. We take our customers security very seriously which why we offer all the advanced features you could ever need to secure your account. It is also why we don't hand over accounts to potential phishing attacks and insist on a Bitcoin signed message from an address that can be linked to the account as proof of ownership.

I wholeheartly agree. If you are a newbie in bitcoin or crypto world than you need to first learn the most important thing in this space. Security. If you do not take your own security seriously than I can not think how many people will try to rip you off by doing as much as they can because stealing money from someones bank account or wallet on the street is dangerous and risky and would probably result in jail time most of the time but stealing someones crypto is not that dangerous for the person who steals it.

Take care of your own security and make sure you are at all times have the access to it with upmost features including 2fa, I had my phones screen broken for the past couple of weeks and I have used my wife's phone for 2fa in the past weeks just to make sure I stay on top of things, never let go of your crypto for even a second because its incredibly important to keep an eye on it.

I think this applies to anyone who wants to go online and connect to other computers and other people. Does not even really apply only to Bitcoin/Crypto users.

Also, what does apply to Bitcoin/crypto users is that they need to understand the difference between crypto and all other forms of digital money. Everything we have ever used before needed a username and password and someone to take care of it for us. Crypto is different slightly.

Education is key, even to use faucets and gambling sites. What is the point of 2FA if your phone has no password and can be hijacked by everyone?

2fa has a lot of sense, only if you can restore synonymous. Of course I was stupid and did not write or find my secretkey anymore. and now you can not restore. it only has no meaning at freebitco. It looks like fraud. and the only excuse is safety. in other side I could restore everything.
