Hey Steemians here the some Latest wallets to keep your crypto token erc20 safely

HOT WALLET
If you have a wallet that is connected to the internet it is a hot wallet. There are numerous hot wallets available, including the highly popular myetherwallet Some have more functionality than others and some offer ways of storing the usual suspects like btc xrp eth etc.
Since hot wallets are connected to the internet they are the most vulnerable to hacks. In fact one of the most common hacks is a keylogger that records every key you press on your keyboard which is less than ideal if you are typing in your private keys to access your wallet. Worse still, there is malware that can copy whatever is on your clipboard so say goodbye to copy pasting your private key.

Paper wallets are often cited as being one of the best methods, but there are plenty Although, if you can eliminate the risk of physical theft, floods, fires, coffee spills, and children who like to scribble on things, they are as safe as the cash you have in your regular wallet.
Hardware wallets are potentially the choice du jour in the crypto community for the safest method of storage for coins and tokens. You’ll almost certainly have heard of ledger and trzor already, but if not, they are devices that you connect to your computer with a USB connection. You can transfer your coins and tokens to the device, which is then disconnected completely removing them from any internet connection.
