Stop using your work laptop or phone for personal stuff, because I know you are

I’ve known so many people that wanted to get into crypto over the last decade and didn't even own a laptop of their own and were practically married to their employer as if that was normal (in their corporate world that was normal)

They had no way of managing private keys, privately or properly at all

They did it anyway, in one instance one person turned in their computer for routine IT maintenance and it was wiped! lol! Its pretty obvious that a person like this only had a passing interest in crypto and never made any backup

Things are so much easier now with hardware wallets that connect to iphone apps

But its shocking how people often have no separation

I don't really.

But I use my own computers for most things. If I had to use a work-issued computer for work things, I'd be more careful about commingling. (I do have a work laptop, but I don't use it for very much.) I also generally keep personal and work email separate--to the degree one can really deliniate personal and work.
