1  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Wallet password protected and encrypted, is it safe ? on: April 10, 2019, 12:24:05 PM
When setting up my standard wallet with Electrum, I am given a seed, which I record, then I am asked for a password to encrypt it. When I go back into the new wallet after logging out, I am asked for my password and can then view my seed. Yet we are advised not to store the seed on computer.Is that safe?  The wallet's security is entirely dependent on the password and encryption.  If I then store that wallet offline, would it still be vulnerable when connecting to transact? Is there any good way around this? Please spell it out, I'm a noob.
