First off, I know you all say don't put your seed phrases on the password manager. I understand that. The thing is some seeds i want access to easily so that is why i stored it in password manager.
The thing is what should you put in your password manager then? I got to assume most of you put your email and banking information passwords there right? Again my email and banking passwords, i don' even know what it is because its generated by the password manager. I heard back then you should not use a regular password and make password manager generate it for you. Don't most of you do that? Can't imagine you write down your password on paper for each bank and email... especially if the password could be a 50 word character etc.
The reason I couldn't use my other computer is its chromebook. I actually got another windows computer recently. So go and try to restore the seeds on the new device is what everyone here suggest right? Again I didn't have a spare windows computer to just do things. Yes i do have a nano ledger. The issue is lot of the coins i have and the seeds, they do not support the coin. If they did, i would transfer every single coin of mine that has a seed phrase into nano ledger.
The other thing is this. Do you write down your google authenticator for sites like coinbase and binance etc on password manager? So that is not safe as well? I have to assume you all put your username/password on password manager for exchanges right? No way you guys are writing it on paper and log in each time that way especially if its a very long seed.
Also im sure people here accidentally clicked on wrong links all the time. Again im usually very careful with this which is why i haven't had issues. I only have windows defender and malwarebytes free.
The issue is if i want to backup the things in my laptop, i dont want to back any infected files to it. So what is the suggestion now? I do not want to wipe all my files because there are some files that i did not transfer to either my usb flash drive or the cloud.
The other thing is this. I do not see anything suspicious about my email addresses. So would that mean most likely im not compromised? Again when this happened, I clicked on something and it went to a website that is not a legit site because the name of the site is not suppose to end the way its suppose to. Also windows defender scanned a lot of threats on it which I rarely ever have etc. It did seem to remove it but im note sure if its fully removed or not. But I clicked on the link, my password manager was opened at the time which was my concern. But I then closed it. Since the, I have not tried to log in to my password manager on my laptop but has turned on the laptop few times etc.
Someone here suggested kaspersky and just scan it and that is the best option. Again im overwhelmed by all of this. So you suggest changing my email passwords on my new computer and phone for any active email im currently using?
But wouldn't this situation happen to many people who have accounts though like with exchanges? Thus someone has access to their username/password and then log in? But if they have google authenticator, they are safe right? But what if someone put their google authenticator private key or thing like that on program manager. They are essentially screwed then?
