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.

Those can all be reset. You forget your password, you reset it and request a new one over your email. If you lose or forget your email, you contact your bank, verify yourself, and have them change whatever details are needed so you an have access to your account again. And like o_e_l_e_o mentioned, you can use 2FA with online banking. Who are you going to contact if you lose your passphrase or get it hacked/stolen? There is no customer service to change it for you and give you a new one. You are the customer service, the bank director, and the bank clerk.

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?

Yeah do that if it's safe and malware-free. Brand-new from the shop or just recently had its OP reinstalled.

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.

What kind of shitcoins are you into that Ledger doesn't support them? They support over 1.000 different assets. That's not a reason to store your seeds digitally, nothing is.

The other thing is this. Do you write down your google authenticator for sites like coinbase and binance etc on password manager?

There is this thing called a pen and paper. Some would say that it's obsolete technology, but it still works wonders you know!

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.

How do you accidently click on wrong links all the time? Yes, it can happen sometimes, but it shouldn't. You are not careful about anything Jerry.

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.

You are asking what to do, but you have already made up your mind to keep all your files, so keep them. Some of them may or may not be infected, who knows.

The other thing is this. I do not see anything suspicious about my email addresses. So would that mean most likely im not compromised?

Not necessarily. If I wanted to steal your crypto and your seed phrases, I don't need access to your email.

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.

That's why you check what you click on before you click on it.

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.

And? What do you want us to do about it? Your AV picked something up. It could be connected to the site you visited or it's from something earlier.

So you suggest changing my email passwords on my new computer and phone for any active email im currently using?

Changing them from time to time is a good idea anyways. Why not do it now when there is a possibility of an infection.

But what if someone put their google authenticator private key or thing like that on program manager.

There is something seriously wrong with you.

Quote from: jerry0 on December 11, 2021, 11:37:26 PM

So basically even if someone has your username/password to the email, banking and crypto exchange passwords, unless they get your two factor authorization code, its useless for them right?

That's the whole point of having 2FA. No one can access your accounts with just the standard login details unless they also have the 2FA code. Jesus Christ!

What if its like those json files that is access to a certain crypto wallet?

JSON files just encrypt your private keys. If you have multiple copies of your seed phrase (written down on paper Jerry, not in password managers) you don't need copies of private keys or JSON files.

What two factor authorization do you use for all your accounts?

Any of them is better than having none. Here, use this source for some more info.

Again the issue here is many people accidentally click on links on their computer or on their phone.

That's irrelevant. If you stick your dick into a beehive, you are bound to get stung.
