I'd start with Green wallet and setup a multisig account since it acts like a multisig without a hardware wallet. Definitely go with a 2fa authenticator instead of email or SMS and use Tor for privacy

A bit more advanced than I’d tend toward for a not-super-technical new user, who has ever heard of Tor and basically just learned what a private key is, lol

Are you recommending multi-sig to compensate for the risks of an online wallet? That’d be an interesting “hedging” approach. I guess it protects against hot-wallet attacks that compromise the keys, but doesn’t help against instances where the receiving address gets spoofed/replaced

Easily enough with Green Wallet Tor can be enabled in settings with one click.

Yes it would help against someone getting into the wallet and being able to spend immediately. Of course, you do have to trust Green to give you valid receive addresses. If that's a concern, best to get a hardware wallet to verify the addresses

Oh that’s a good point. I sometimes forget you needn’t connect the app to the Tor browser with the proxy-port thing like on sparrow, etc

Thanks for the suggestions!
