Topic: Seed phrase security question - page 3. (Read 615 times)
Save yourself of whatever is bugging you by transferring all your coins to another wallet, generating a new wallet is free although you will spend for transaction fee, at least you will be free from thinking that your seed phrase is not safe, you can save yourself with sleeplessness night and too much worrying, even if it is unlikely that your seed phrase is compromised.
Hi this is a random question but is it possible for my seed phrase on hardware wallet to be compromised by an app using my iPhone microphone ? I was singing my seed phrase to memorize it and realized my phone was right next to me. I’m also kinda high and paranoid? I see lots of posts about ppl taking photos of their phrases and losing their coins so I didn’t know if saying my phrase out loud was a bad idea.
just like what mk4 said it's quite unlikely, it is possible to happen. I'd recommend being cautious(especially when an app is from an unknown provider) when an app your downloading or downloaded is asking to access your files, photos, camera, and microphone on your phone. taking a photo of your seed phrase is one of the reckless things you or someone can do if you want to protect it. one of the best and easiest way to protect your seed phrase is to just write it on paper and store it in a safe place. you can even make a copy of it in case you lost or ruined the first one you made.

No, you're not. Nowadays, mobile phones record you to provide you the best advertisements. I once was talking about Star Wars Battlefront and after a while I got an advertisement about a cheap PS4... 
You should never trust a closed-source operating system with:
- Your voice.
- Your pictures.
No, taking a picture of your seed phrase isn't secure obviously. If someone gained access to your mobile phone, he could steal your money. If I were you, I'd just generate another seed phrase and I wouldn't try to memorize it or include it on any computer/phone. Just hide it in several places, so that if you lose one piece of paper, you can replace it with your back ups.

There is nothing malware can not do, so be careful with your seed phrase. I was singing my seed phrase to memorize it and realized my phone was right next to me
There has been some numbers and words I memorized for months and yet I later forgot after I thought I have memorized it off hand. I would even think I can not forget it, it can be some just one or two numbers that I will forget. Do not depend on your brain for long term memory, it might not work. Backup your seed phrase offline is better, having like three copies safely backup somewhere not accessible to attackers and resistant to damages. 
While it's quite unlikely, it's technically very possible.
And since you're paranoid to start with(which is good in a sense), just simply generate a new wallet instead; for your peace of mind. And this time, don't sing it out loud. You should be writing it down instead in the first place. Imagine if you get into an accident or a concussion that caused you to lose a part of your memory. I wouldn't risk that especially if you have a good amount.
