Best Practice #1: 2FA, You Know?
Turn on that 2-factor authentication, mates. It's like a digital bouncer at your Bitcoin club. Keep the riff-raff out! 🕺

2FA are very important on our accounts as they can prevent hackers from gaining access to our account or carryout out unapproved transaction. They're a second layer of security but when using them, make sure you don't use a centralized 2FA from a centralized service like Google, Authy is better or any other decentralized authenticator app that don't store your keys online (on a centralized server). Also be sure to keep your backup keys safely in an offline manner that hackers can't get access to.

Tool #2: Browser Shields
For our non-native pals, browser shields like MetaMask can help spot scammy sites. They're like your online bodyguards, savvy?

Metamask isn't a recommended wallet to use and in regards to browser shield, using Brave Bowser offers you that protection and it's a more recommendable browser to use instead chrome, avoid anything related to Google, they're not the best when it comes to privacy and security.
