Topic: Can You Memorize Your Recovery Phrase? - page 7. (Read 2037 times)

If you memorize your seed phrase, it’s not a bad idea, but never even try to rely on the seed phrase that you stored in your brain alone. Make sure you properly backup your seed phrase in other places and protect it. Seriously, I can’t really trust my brain like that, so my seed phrase is stored in so many places, which I will recommend others do as well.
 
I will never recommend anyone store their seed phrase online, if you don’t, it’s just like your seed phrase is already in public because anywhere you store it can easily be compromised and people will be able to see it. The best place to store seed phrase is offline, and it should be written on material that can’t be easily damaged.

In the short term, maybe you can memorize it, but it is very impossible to remember it in the long term. One of the human weaknesses is the nature of forgetfulness and it is always a part of every human being, there are unexpected factors that make you forget the seed phrases that you have memorized, such as life burdens that are too heavy, disharmonious family conditions and busy schedules at work. which makes you always have to focus on the tasks that must be completed at work.

Ideally, you can write the seed phrase on a piece of paper that is not easily damaged or worn out or engrave it on a steel plate and then store it in a safe place. Memorizing the seed phrase is not recommended, there are many reasons why you could lose the seed phrase and you will be threatened with not being able to retrieve the assets you saved if suddenly you cannot remember the seed phrase. Never take any risks with your asset ownership, always prioritize asset safety by storing the seed phrase in a safe place, then write it in a place that is not flammable and does not easily get wet if it comes into contact with water.

For real? That is quite a lot, why do you have so many wallets, it is problematic to keep too many seed phrases safe, only if you keep all of them in the same location, which isn't recommended in my honest opinion. I don't know the exact reason why you do this, but take note that it does not add to your security if you use too many wallets, it can only give you a false sense of security and more work, because you need safe and offline devices to store some of these wallet files.

Even if I have a good memory to retain things, I don't see it as a good idea to want to memorize all the seed phrase in my head because no matter how good I am what if I forget one of the combinations of the seed phrase.  Then their is no way i can have access to the assets. So it better not to even think of considering it. And no matter how good anyone is with saving things in their head they won't consider memorizing it. Because their is a lot of challenges that might even make you forget things.

Their other offline alternatives to consider than trying to keep it in your head. And I won't either advise anyone to save their seed phrase online. Anything online is also at risk online and make sure its a save place were no one will have access to it except you.  And when they are properly safe always do to check them time to time to reconfirm the safety of your assets. And some people are so careless that they don't even care they just write and dump some were and the moment they lose money they will know the value of always keeping their assets safe. Sometimes is good they learn the had way.

Good luck trying to find that small iron plate when your house burns to the ground.
Btw, I am not saying that its not a generally good thing to have, but if you only have one you are still vulnerable.



What an actual fuck, you have 17 wallets in use right now?

As a bitcoin investor, that's all we need to keep our bitcoins safe, everything is very simple, let's not make things complicated. Storing seed phrases is like we trying to keep a secret or protect valuable assets but I don't see anyone asking others how to safely store gold or diamonds. You're right, it's confusing many people are obsessed with the seed phrase, many people even spend all day trying to figure out how to make it absolutely secure but the interesting thing is, their wallets don't have many bitcoins in there.

As a bitcoin investor, we should look to accumulate as many bitcoins as possible instead of just spending too much time thinking about where to store the seed phrase when we don't have too many bitcoins. Agree that safety is also an important task, but don't get too obsessed with it and ignore other factors.

Our seed phrase isn't just any other kind of phrase which is why it shouldn't be written just on any paper and shouldn't be placed in any place not well secured. Think again, you might actually have somewhere really safe to have it kept.

On memorize our seed phrase if it's possible. Yes it is, and  it's has so much to do with the individual's level intelligence and the length of the phrase and other determinant like how busy a person you are, as in how occupied you get with many other things at hand needing your attention. For someone like me with so much to meet up in my head I'll prefer writing it down and have it kept in a safe position as my human faculty can fail me due to stress and other factors.

Trying to memorize your seed phrases is a good one but the truth is that it could make you keep careless with the one written down which can be lost and exposed to public seights. That's due to over confidence that you have it off hand and once you've missed a word of it, then you're gone with it. So even if you can memorize it, do well take it stored somewhere either online or offline on a safe place.

Yes, you could try to memorize the 12 words, but what's the point? You could still forget several words. I wouldn't bother with memorizing my seed phrases.
Why are so many Bitcoiners obsessed with their seed phrases and private keys? Is anyone trying to hack you? Having decent knowledge about how to protect yourself from getting hacked and having a decent anti-virus should be more than enough for protecting your BTC wallet.
What do you mean by "my place isn't secured"? Do you live in a town with high levels of criminal activity? Do you lock your door every day?

If you have a good memory you can memorize it. I think it's stupid to memorize the wallet passphrase just as an alternate backup, because you are fallible and anyone can forget it at any time. If you can use any method to store a seed phrase or private key, you may choose any method to store it, but the biggest responsibility is how secure your seed phrase will be depending on the method you use. But make it a habit to always check if your accesses are secure on a regular basis.

I would advise against that as new tech is already emerging that can read brain waves and with all this AI tech coming out I could see there being avenues to even read your mind and take important private information away. Sounds so scary re-reading that but honestly you can never be too careful these days! I would highly advise against memorizing your seed phrase, but thats just me, maybe others have other input here...

Memorizing the seed phrase is a great deal of work that majority of the people will not be able to do. Secondly, after you must have finished Memorizing it, you still need to practice to get used to the seed phrase for the purpose of retention. Again, a vast majority of people who are able to memorize the seed phrase will end up not able to recall what they memorized earlier.

All these could be avoided just by writing the seed phrase in 3 or more different pieces of papers and storing them in safe places where you can always recover them easily. For instance, I can keep one in a safe box I must crafted on my roof, another buried in an earthen environment within my compound, if I own the house and others could be within the bedroom and so on. This would make it easier for me to retrieve any of them, when the need arises than to memorize and forget the seed phrase.

Why did you try it before coming to the public. At least you would have tried it and see how it works first so that when you create the thread it take another direction of thinking and not like this again. Op I don't know what others have said but as for me it is possible to memorize your seed phrase. But that is not also saved so the best way to secure your seed phrase is to write it in different places.

I have not even try it one day and not even planning to try it in any day. Instead I love to type it and print it or if it was possible I would have used washer plate to secure them.

Memorizing the phrase?
I'm so sorry, but I'm very bad at memorizing something details like that phrase. For me personally, that is clearly impossible. So, that's why I do it by backing up in several ways. So there's not just 1 backup. This will prevent complete data loss. because after all, whether the digital or offline world requires data input like that, it certainly has weaknesses and security systems are not always guaranteed to be 100% safe, right? So what we can do is make several backups just in case one of them is lost.

Hmm yeah, mate it is possible to memorize recovery phrases, but to be honest, it is not the best thing to do. Because the memory of a normal human being is not strong enough to remember something for a long time, if, with the passage of time, you unfortunately forget the recovery phrase, your funds may be locked. Apart from this, if you miss up on the correct arrangement, then as a result, you can lose your fund or be locked.  So I think the best thing would be to write down the recovery phrase and keep it in a safe place so that no one can access it easily. So the benefit of this is that even if you forget, you can easily login to your wallet from the written form.

There is nothing bad in memorizing it, but i can bet you there could come to a point in time whereby you may not be able to remember them all or have them in their order of listings, the only recommendation i can offer from this is to source for an alternative means of storing those keys, safe keep them, by so doing, you now have two different locations where your seed phrase can eb found in case if one is challenged from having access through. 

I have 17 recovery phrases in use at the moment. I can't memorize them.

I don't think there's actually a 100% foolproof method for securing your seed phrase. I'm sure that if we were to list all securing scenarios, the majority, if not all, would have a weakness, mostly in terms of human error. This is why I believe a combination of methods should be used. Writing it on a piece of paper is the most basic one; however, it can easily be lost. I used to save them in.txt files on my computer when I was younger; if I'm not mistaken, I lost every single one of them.

I personally wouldn't be able to memorize it; I have a short memory, and of course, it goes without saying that memorizing it won't be your only "backup.".

You can memorize your seed phrase, but we are always humans, and it is inevitable that we will forget it one day or another. There is no person who does not experience forgetfulness. So it's safer to write it down on a piece of paper, save it on a USB for the time being, or if you have a hardware wallet to buy, it's better.

Then, for an ordinary person, it is difficult to memorize the seed phrase. For my experience, I have tried that. Yes,  I will remember him in a few days, but after a few weeks or months, you will really forget the other words.

Definitely not and i wont really be tending to do it because high chance that you would really be able to forget one of those words or phrase then say goodbye into your funds. Lets say that you would be able to memorize but there's really indeed a time that you cant really be able to completely tell all of those words and if that happens? then say goodbye into those coins. If you are comfortable on having this kind of approach then you should do it but it would really be best that you would be having that kind of back up because it will really be at least putting you uup on such safe condition just in case you have forgot
something and this is much more safer rather than on memorizing those things alone but in overall it would be best that you would be neither buying up a hardware wallet or even just simply storing it on a piece of paper on storing up those seed phrases.

The only thing on here is that you should really be that keeping things to be that safe in other peoples awareness because things turns out to be shit condition if you arent that
mindful about the security of your coins. So it would really be always best that you should always make a back up after a back up. Just make it sure that it is
away on others awareness then you are already that safe.
