maybe you guys forgot to mention that not everyone needs that level of security and I even doubt that even you guys has done these things which you are telling here to do.

I didn't see any extraordinary security measurements posted here in this thread  Huh


All of these things count towards common sense..
Quote
1. Keep your keys secure and do not store them online in any way
2 - Do not send anything related to your portfolio, either the private key or password to any person or any company on the Internet

Those should be very obvious..

3. Encrypt your wallet with a strong password

Are there really people who do NOT encrypt their wallet file yet ?


Quote
4. Make backups of the wallet periodically

Self explanatory..

5 - Use the portfolio is not connected to the Internet cold storage is safer than the portfolios related to the Internet Be careful in dealing with the services provided over the Internet

This one is pretty obvious too..



Also, add the hardware wallet option as another way to protect your all assets from stealing and hardware is recommended one for all safety transaction.
And also, beware on some fake phishing site because there are fake phishing sites spreading in the internet like Electrum.

Don't forget to use antivirus in your PC to keep your PC clean from any crypto related viruses.

This makes sense too, without any additional work.



Using cold purses I think it is the best way to save money safely.
The use of binary authentication also enhances and strengthens wallet protection.
And use strong passwords

Cold wallet as the more-secure option and strong passwords is also nothing new or extra ordinary.
'Binary' authentication seems weird, but thats the only point.



- Avoid downloading and using unverified wallets, software and web extensions

Falls under common sense, pretty much.



So, what do you exactly define as 'that level of security'.
These are very basic measurements to not be (almost) guaranteed to lose your coins.. And everyone should follow them.

Nothing has been mentioned which seems to be an overkill regarding security.
And nothing seems to be hard to accomplish at all.
