Choose an Online Wallet, Client-Side Wallet or Hardware Wallet.

Online Wallet: An online wallet is a web-based wallet. You don’t download an app, but rather data is hosted on a real or virtual server.  Some online wallets are hybrid wallets allowing encryption of private data before being sent to the online server. Some wallets let you control your private keys, some are custodial (you don’t control your keys directly).

Client-side wallet: The most common type of wallet. Otherwise known as a Desktop wallet. Typically an app that connects directly to a coin’s client.

Hardware wallet: Hardware wallets are a tamper-proof electronic device designed to store private keys of your coins in an offline setting. The private keys and digital signatures needed to spend bitcoins are generated via these wallets. Like the way you set up any wallet, you need to write down the seed word (recovery phrase) on a piece of paper and store it in a safe place. Prefer making 2-3 copies & distribute it. As your keys are offline, there is no possibility of getting hacked.
