This is an important point that you have raised in the forum. You may write down on your paper and keep the paper safely in a deposit box. You may try using ‘mindmaps’ for easy recollection as well as for your privacy & safety. You may map in your words the way you find it most convenient for recollection using mindmaps.

Further, you may employ some serious memory techniques to benefit you. Modern memory techniques like Dominic System or PAO system can be employed. You may try studying these techniques and apply them. In tandem with these systems there is also a system called ‘Major’ that has to be seriously studied. The incorporation of an image in the practice of these systems should not be forgotten. There are no hard and fast rules to follow. It is just as per your convenience that you react to an event.

You may also try building a story or writing down a song for the ease of memory. You may in fact recollect quickly in such a scenario. The story or song should be precise and regular practice will help quick recollection. Storing the mnemonic phrases within the computer or in the internet is certainly not advisable. Though there are people who store many important information online, it is essential to remember that every such storage becomes risky in the long run. It is important to plan and stick to one of the ways that you find better for memory and recollection.

OK, this would sound noobish but I'm interested to know how other people keep the mnemonic phrase generated by the wallet. I do have the wallets secured with a pw and backed up (still not enough to warrant a hardware wallet) but I also have the passphrases handwritten in paper (someone said be wary of printers) and stashed somewhere but I'm wondering if there's a better way to keep them.

I don't know any cryptography but I'm thinking of shuffling the words rather than writing them down in order. Like a 12x12 grid where I'd spread them out in certain patterns and then finished with filler words. Since it's no longer as straight-forward should anyone get their hands on it, I think it would finally be safer to keep digital copies of it. Any suggestions?
I wrote a separate notebook and stored it carefully. It's a manual job but I think it's good for myself and my fortune. If it is a file, I always use a computer without internet.

Piece of paper in a safety deposit box.

Worst possible idea.  Any search warrant could allow cops/FBI to raid your safety deposit box.  It's just putting it on a pedestal for the cops.
I do keep my mnemonic phrases. Meanwhile, I don't see this as a worse or bad idea since youre paying your tax and your government didn't ban crypto currency you have nothing to hide. Besides, this was the exact advice giving to me by one of the respected Legendary member of this forum back in year 2016 when i started the crypto currency business.

Usually the devices I use that uses mnemo phrases they come with a sheet where you can write it down. If not just a  piece of paper. Somtimes, the simpler the better

I think that the way in which memory is used is a technique that requires the brain's ability to connect words, ideas and delusions. Meanwhile, according to Eric Jeansen mnemonic is a method to help remember the large amount of information that involves three elements, namely: coding, maintenance, and remembering the return.

Encrypted files on multiple micro sd cards scattered around the globe. No doubt a few will fail but some will survive. I plan to renew them on a rolling basis. Where I'm at there's no such thing as deposit boxes to stick paper in, not that they'd have the insurance or terms I'd be happy with.

Good old paper. 3 copies, handwritten and cross checked. 3 seperate locations off site.

my theory is very simple, i kept my seed mnemonic phrases in a note where all my account details are their so that tommorrow if suddenly anything happen to me my family should be in easy to find my all saving details so that how much effort i have put should not go wasted. Even i have uploaded all my details in a email id which i only use it for this purpose and it is also protected with 2fa. This is my basic setup to secure my all secret details

I regularly record all the things such as account name, password, security question and private key on google driver. It is also extremely safe and secure

To safely secured my personal data like mnemonic phrase, login username and password, 2fa secret code, I always created a google docs. And i compressed it through winrar with a strong password and saved to my usd flash drive. Thats how i safely secured my personal data. I hope it will help you Sir.
Your method is very safe. I applied your method to accounts on all exchanges that I frequently use. Sure the hacker will never be able to hack into my account

As per i Concern the best way to to keep your passphrases

1 - write in a paper and give it to your family member to keep safe

2-  keep it on pen drive with a pass and don't forget to tell password to your family

i don't have my mnemonic phrases on my pc. I have only on paper, in 2 copies.
I have hided them in two different point of my house.

I don't know if it is safe enought..
only two copies? no, and encrypt this, try to know about bip39 encryption you do not even need to change your recovery phrase

If you save mnemonic in keepass with your configured password and play in a container file of veracrypt I think it would be as safe as saving the wallet.dat file. Of course as long as u do it on a desktop that you know is safe. because leaving the mnemonic in a place that you think is safe written on a paper might find this mnemonic and steal your funds.

Since other posters already suggested good ideas, I'd like to share one sort of "unorthodox" way of storing your mnemonic phrases.

Memorize it. Yes, you heard that right. A 12-word recovery seed is a lot easier to memorize that most people thought(though memorizing 24-word seed is still possible, just significantly harder). But I understand that this is definitely not for anyone.
This is very wrong because you can easily forget it
yes, memorize is not a good way, maybe u memorize it now, but if u do not use it, maybe a month later u forget it.
I often split it in two parts, one parts save in difirrent USB drive storages and the other parts wirte in papers and save in discrets place only i and my family know.

Currently I just store them on pieces of paper, but I plan to encrypt them either with one-time pad or with some obfuscation algorithm.

Using digital methods to backup is a good choice. Of course, you must have this digital technology.
