Note:

 Use a strong password. A strong password must contain letters, numbers, and punctuation marks and must be at least 16 characters long. Avoid passwords that contain only letters, only numbers, or only symbols. Recognizable English words are also a no-go because they’re easy to break. You can make a very long, strong password by memorizing a pattern on your keyboard instead of selecting a word. For example, start from the left side of the keyboard and type, top to bottom, the keys along the lines of this pattern (using the shift key after the last lowercase letter): 1qaz2wsx!QAZ@WSX. It’s an extremely strong password, and you don’t have to memorize it! Of course, if you try to log in to your software from a mobile phone, things can get complicated.

This suggestion may sound a bit silly, but if you’re one of those people who hides things so well that even you can’t remember where they are, make sure that you choose a location you won’t forget. If you lose your cryptocurrency wallets, you may also lose your shirt in the long run.
