I store on a flash drive and an external hard drive, very much thinking about buying trezor wallet, as it allows you to store funds very securely and it can be used even on an infected PC.

I have two separate flash drives in the same way. And it doesn't connect these two flash drives to any device that has access to the Internet. And I never use copy-paste.

Writing the words and putting on my wallet. I made 3 copies of it and put one in my wallet, in my drawer and inside my cellphone. I also saved it on my cellphone as a note (with a password). In this way, it will make my Bitcoin safe.

I divide my private keys in 3 different parts and store each part on a different laptop (too much work I know). And a copy of private key is stored safely in safe

I have been using an external hard drive to store personal data for a long time, which I always use to work online, and my closest friends never knew about the data I saved, because I never lent it to someone else or my friend, and every folder in my hard drive I also lock passwords with mixed characters, because in my opinion it's very safe and comfortable for myself.

willy you mean you type it in keepass and keep them all there? But if someone has access to your laptop, then they still have to know your keepass masterpassword right in order to access it correct?

lately a lot of threads discuss private key issues and many say they have lost their private keys, this is very interesting because private keys are usually stored in a safe place and only we know Roll Eyes

Wallets private keys are safe when you keep them offline that's why I prefer storing mine in papers and lock them away till I need them,storing on mobile phones and windows PC are very dangerous one have to be worry on hacking and stealing

Most difficult if we lose a private key and will definitely regret it. It has been prevented by storing private keys not only on one computer device. However, this private key store is not connected to the Internet. I don't allow my friend to use my computer device because it also contains risks.

I have already tried doing my own jumbling of passwords before. It went well until such time that I did not use it for a while. And when I went back to it, I could not understand it anymore. And never have I made out the password out of it anymore. I ended up clicking on the forget password button. I do not recommend it especially if you have a lot of passwords and keys to manage. Just jot it down on a piece of paper, perhaps several copies, and then keep it away.

That is why data management is very necessary and must be managed properly. Especially in cryptocurrency there are various secrets that we must remember and store carefully, such as passwords, private keys, pin codes, etc. Manually recording is quite effective, as a backup if we forget. I prefer to make notes in Notepad and save them in a special folder. For every verification code like 2FA, I always take screenshots to save.

The private key should be well stored and I saved it offline. And this is very safe because all my friends are not familiar with the crypto. Even to be safer again that my computer uses the passcode. So far I have not-hacking and my digital assets are still safe. And I suggest that never anyone else use your computer's device.

This is very interesting. For me I have three different files kept at different locations and so for instance in regards to the twelve mermonic keys I always split them into three and keep a set in each of the files. This too I do it in a special way that it will take more intelligence for you to decode even if you have the three files

Personally I do prefer storing my keys offline to prevent third party Acess and also incase of computer hard disk breaking down.

One may ask, are paper wallets safe enough from relatives and friends?

My reply is that I have developed my own language whereby I represent the vowels in the alphabets in other to with some special characters which only myself, I mean no other person can interpret.
