When I mean accessing seed easily, I mean like if you don't have your seed with you because you are in another location.  Yea writing it on paper and carrying it with me is not good.  That is why i stored my seed on the password manager.



Okay so you set up two factor authorization with all your important accounts.  Can you tell me what accounts these are that are not bitcoin wallet?  You mean like email, banking and crypto exchanges?  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?  Unless you actually wrote that two factor authorization on the password manager?



I had thought you put your two factor authorization on password manager.  Then I thought that isn't good idea because if someone has that, they can just access your account on their phone.  So you are saying... when writing physically on paper... do the seed phrase and any two factor authorization codes right?  Is there anything else?  What if its like those json files that is access to a certain crypto wallet?  I forgot the name of it but its starts with a J and its like json file or something like that?  So where do you store those then?  If you have a copy on your computer, then isn't it risky if you ever catch malware then?  So that you put it in a usb flash drive an encrypt it?  I'm not sure what is the exact name of these files but I know you can't write or type it down.  Its like a file.  What is the name of this?



What two factor authorization do you use for all your accounts?  I assume google authenticator?  Or something else?  I heard things about authy which is similar to google authenticator and yubikey?



Again the issue here is many people accidentally click on links on their computer or on their phone.  On their phone is much more likely though since the screen is small.  So how do you protect yourself in situations like this?  Make sure you have kaspersky or bitdefender?  Does anyone here use these programs and it always protects them when visiting sites that might be dangerous?
