Secure ripple wallet

[jqian2]

Hey guys, I'm wondering how I would go about setting up a SECURE ripple wallet. I know that I can go to bithomp and create a wallet there, but it just seems kind of shady because it's not from the official ripple homepage - in other words, how do I know that the address and key generated by bithomp isn't some previously made up wallet, which the developers or whomever is behind bithomp can take back anytime they want?

 

I currently have a wallet but I'm having some very serious doubts about the safety and security of it.

 

Thank you all for helping this newbie out!

do some research into cold wallets / hardware wallets

a lot of people recommend the "ledger nano s"
