As with my private key and password, I store it in a document on my laptop. And to store this important data in documents that are not connected to the internet network. And until now I have never lost my tokens.

Same here.  Ive also done that but aside from laptop i also save another copy on my usb stick ( flashdrive ) and on my mobile phone as well . this is for extra security so that whatever happens to other devices , i wont worrry that much because i can still access my wallet  . 

it does not necesarily to turn off your internet because hackers cannot access our files pretty easy because of built in firewalls and anti malware installed on our devices  .

Your Keys, Your Coin; Not your keys, not your coins.

In fact, today (Jan 3 2019), there's an exercise going on called the "Proof-of-Key day" exercise. Where for 1 day, every participant withdraws all their Bitcoins from every trading/custodial account into address(es) they personally hold.

You can read more about this on this well-written post on Medium (https://medium.com/@eljuangalt/proof-of-keys-intentional-crypto-bank-run-4-step-survival-guide-4422b7c0e0d8)

just for safety reason that i kept it in secret.

Hi. We all have too many passwords, private keys, adresses, registration informations. I want to askt how you keep them. I dont ask you to explain where you put your ledger wallet  Grin  For example, I keep my passwords and private keys on a simple document which I created on my laptop. This means that if I lose my computer or someone stoles it, I may lose too many things. What are your solutions? Is there any safe option? I have to get precautions before it is too late.

Well, I advise not to put your very crypto information in your laptop, maybe reserve one flashdrive to it, whenever anyone might access your laptop, still you have securely put all your accounts in a flash drive that you are the only one should access.

everything like passwords, private keys, and keystore I store in a folder on my PC (the only one using pc is me), so I'm not worried that it will be opened by someone else. and so far it is safe and nothing happens.

You should buy a flash drive dedicated only for storing sensitive information like your private keys and passwords. You need to back up your files in your laptop or smartphone every day as a precaution in case something unexpected happens.

If you don't have a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor.
1. Encrypt the file that has your priv keys.
2. Store it in an encrypted USB like Sandisk. Use a different password.
3. Create a USB copy and store the other one in a safe location. Only 1 USB is used for daily access.

dont be greedy
make the safest Google account, you have to do a complete verification, especially the mobile number
after that, save all usernames, passwords and also anything you consider important, including the private key into a notepad
then you enter the file.txt from Notepad into the .rar archive and protect it with a password
upload on your google account or maybe on icloud if you have one

I save everything in 1 folder. all the data that I have is like an exchange site, wallet, and others. and I save it in the cloud. if something happens with my laptop, everything will be fine.

Why not store it on a cloud server wherein, you are the only one who has the access over it? and if you lost your laptop, still there's a chance that you can recover your accounts again.

because I very rarely or almost never trade so I don't have too many passwords and for that I just keep password in my mind and copy MEW private key that I've on disk

I secure my computer with an antivirus software and use a hardware wallet. For passwords, seeds and private keys, I write it down on a paper and keep in a secure place. I don’t really trust keeping these information in the computer.

I bought myself Ledger Nano S. just see how many people suffer from hacking their wallets, why take such a risk. It is better to give some money but sleep well

I store my funds on a hardware wallet and the sensitive information on a separate device which I use only
for storing of crypto data to make sure it cannot be compromised.

I recommend to duplicate twice in written form (for myself and a close person for an accident) and in electronic form (on 2 different media)

the point is that you must still make security on your PC especially for the health of various viruses, such as malicious, phishing and the like related to it. make a duplicate of your private key, and keep it in the safest place other than on your laptop. like a flasdist or something

I recommend that you purchase a hardware wallet to store your cryptocurrency assets, or use a paper copy to record your password.

I keep this information on my computer or on the paper at home and the second way is the safest because nobody will hack you and stole your money throughout the computer. I trust to paper and it is the lowest type in risk. But to put info on computer is easier and comfortable thanks to the technology.

This is very important, well the way I keep my info is quite unique I must say, because I keep my keys on an encrypted doc file and store on my drive, Google drive to be precise, so even if I loose me phone, I can still get access to all my files from cloud, and also user cannot get access to my files cus they are all encrypted. And I do have a working note I hand write most of my pk and 2fa codes on.
