store it on a word processor program such as microsoft ? better not to write it on the paper wallet.
storing in paper will have a possibility to miss or write incorrect letters combinations because no copy paste.

Store my 24 word phrase?
I often can not remember, because english is not my common language, I find the way to save them in the book or save in the email! In general, it is not safe but there is no better way, who has a good plan, share with us!
You need to find something that works for you, something that is comfortable enough but something that is secure enough, personally I don't like either of your solutions, storing your seed words in an email is very insecure if you get hacked you are going to lose all your money, and storing your seed words in a book is a mistake as well, if someone were to rob your house one of the first things they will do is to check the books to see if there is money hidden in them and if they find your seed words then you lose your money.

The best and most secure place to store you 24 word phrase is in your mind. I know it is long and hard to remember but it surely isn't impossible since you know it is very important. I don't know any secrets to memorize it faster but just try to think at the combination of those words and make them have sense.

Online is never a good place to store anything. Hackers break into absolutely anything. If they successfully broke into governments, NASA, FBI you think they can't break I to your Dropbox wallet that is secured just with your email? You got to be kidding here

You can keep the phrase on a piece of paper in your house as long as no one knows you have a big quantity of cryptos in your wallet. Same as Satoshi Nakamuto remains anonymous you should do the same because there will always be bad people try to fool or steal from you

I have taken a considerable security precaution so that in case of a natural disaster it will not affect my seed phrase. I agree with the fact that one should never make any digital copy of the seed phrase. Maintained a handwritten copy of the backup and I also recommend keeping a backup copy of such phrases. Cool

Another creative way to store your Bitcoins, is on your body. While it may sound weird at first, tattooing a 12 word seed, or atleast a phrase or sentence which would help you remember the seed could be an idea worth entertaining.

just dont store it on the other's device, always store it on your own device.
a flashdisk or external hardisk is okay, but always give the password to it. you can zip it with multiple password for safer.

Me, i just store it in my laptop since i got a little memory loss which i easily forget where i place a certain thing. That is why i am not saving it to a small storage device like flashdrive or burnt it to CD/DVD. So i rather put it in my laptop's hard disk but of course, i am keeping it very well.

I wrote it down in paper (I made two copies), and then kept a copy each in my bank locker and office shelf. Don't have it stored anywhere online. I have only this hard copy prints with me.
Storing anything online is a big mistake, many people love cloud storage because they can get access to their files anywhere there is an Internet connection but this is just another way in which companies are trying to get your information and control you, people needs to stop giving up their rights for comfort, what you are doing is correct if you want to store your seed you need to do it locally and if possible avoid storing it in a digital device.

I agree with you. Storing your recovery phrase or private key online is a big mistake. You never know when some of these hackers will gain access to your account and use your information to steal the coins. Another risk is that you may loss access to these online accounts.

it must be a safe place with the multiple layer of securities such as : passwords and padlocks.
store it on the file that has a password to access. store the file to a drive or disk, and put it on the box that secured with padlocks.

I have memorized my 24 word phrase like a poem. Storing it online is the last thing  I will do. I have got it all on my mind thus I don't care much about hacking. Anyway how is someone going to hack my mind. As if that is not safe enough, I have named 24 pictures with the various words and it will be weird for someone to have an idea what those names represent. For the pictures, they have been saved on 3 different drives and kept at three different locations.

If you are rather lazy to rent safes in banks or bury your cryptosteel somewhere in forest - you just can store you encrypted word file with phrase in RAR file with password. And you can place it on different cloud services. The main thing is not to forget passwords for RAR + Encrypted file

maybe you can write the phrase on your microsoft word, and print the details out on a paper.
safe your paper in the safest place like a deposit box. but if you want it simple, just safe it on your computer.

I put them on paper and put them in the safe. I wrote two copies of them, and then I divided them into four pieces and kept them separately.

i usually stored my mnemonic seed on my notepad in my computer.
so if someone have access to my computer, they may have found it.
dont save it on online storage such as email or could drive. just store at your own and have backup.
If you are going to store your seed phrase in a computer file then you better encrypt your hard drive or at least encrypt your file, and do not forget to create a backup just in case your hard drive breaks many people have made the mistake of not having a backup and when their hard drive crashes they lose all their coins forever without the possibility of recovering them.
