Where do you store seed phrases?

Even though I do not have a lot of money, making me no appealing target for anyone, I'd never forgive myself if I lost the passphrase.

That is why I personally store my seed phrases as encrypted notes in my password manager and on paper (the ones found inside the Ledger Nano S) in my safe.

The former method is not what I was wishing for at the beginning, but it was a good trade-off between security and availability (aka won't lose it), but it exposes me to the risk of my password manager getting hacked, being it an appealing target per se.

My question on where you store seed phrases is to understand how you guys store your seed phrase, and if an app on your mobile that could securely store this information would be of interest to the community.

A little bit about me: I'm an indie developer experienced with building security solutions for mobile, currently running a 2FA Authenticator app, and as a crypto enthusiast I've felt the need of:

  • be the only one to access my seed phrases
  • have them redounded on my devices to avoid losing it (e.g. bricked device)
  • secured by my biometrics
  • not stored on some company's server

Hope this discussion won't violate any rules, in case I will delete it.
