Secure your keys! Ep 011
We had an issue where I (Unkle Bonehead) lost the keys for the Defluenced Hive account. I ended up having to start a new one. So make sure you are following DefluencedCast
Good Ideas
- Back them up
- Back them up again in a different place.
- Back them up a third time in yet another place.
- Print them out on paper.
- Put them in a safe.
- Send a copy to a trusted friend or family member.
- Repeat as many times as you feel necessary.
Bad ideas
- Send them in unencrypted email to the FBI, CIA or any other 3 letter agency
- Post it notes on your monitor
- Bulletin board at your church, the library, or other public place
- On hard drives that have a history of failing
- Let your browser remember them
- Open forums and message boards
- Tattoo on your forearm
- On your dog’s ID collar
- On a refrigerator magnet in your RV.
- Let Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, or another exchange hold your keys (NOT your keys, NOT your crypto)
