What’s the best & secured way to store passwords of crypto wallets and exchange sites?  Huh

I'd say in your head is probably the most secured option you have.

If that isn't an option for you, you can either choose to store them virtually, in an encrypted keychain ( simply google it), or offline, ( by writing them down), which again makes it pretty vulnerable against burglars. (Unless you put the paper in a safe ofcourse.)

I also don't really see why this would be any different then the storing of normal passwords?

Same way you store gold. You could dig them under 1-2 meters of earth to some safe secret location  Grin

And by the way. Storing your coins in an exchange is not safe.
Another reason is that if they are in an exchange you may not get the new coins that are forked from bitcoin...

I'm using encrypted files and papers... put the papers on a random book that you remember and you'll be fine (until someone borrow your book to someone else Cheesy)

Record and keep with you, or you can just remember, I do not think you have more than 4-5 wallets. Online is always a risk, especially with a crypt, you can still write a separate disk.

To keep your passwords safe, you can write that passwords in your note.
And after some days you can change it.

Random passwords. There are special apps or websites to generate them

Use KeePassX - offline! Generate random PWs, store them!

Every password you are generating online is corrupted!

as example: I generate a truly secure password for you! I send it to you in an encrypted mail, ok? And if you forget it, I will keep it in my safe to give it back to you, when you need it Cheesy

don't worry! Just trust me! I am a random person from the interwebs!

The best way is just to remember your passwords and repeat it at least once a day. Or store it on an encrypted device. Or encrypt locked archive and put it in cloud storage. There are a lot of variants  Smiley

Store it in your mind as well as write it down on a paper and save it to some place you feel which will be very secure for it. Try to create a simple password, but with at least 2-3 special characters and 2-3 numbers as well as one capital letter so that you remember it in any case but make it difficult for anyone to ever get through it. I also do the same way because it's the only way to secure our stuff as guesswork won't work if such types of passwords are set and probability of getting your account/s and wallet/s hacked will be less than 1:100 billion where 1 is your password and 100 billion is the number of trials a hacker may try to get it cracked or I may say - almost impossible.

You could try LastPass password manager - it's free: https://www.lastpass.com/

Wouldn't offline be safer though?

UPDATE:
Here's the suggestion of LastPass for a master password: A memorable passphrase is the easiest way to create a super strong master password. Just look around for inspiration. It could include the lyrics to a song, a quote from a movie and the color of your favorite coffee mug.

And I just read this article about an hour ago (old but good): https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/10/how-the-bible-and-youtube-are-fueling-the-next-frontier-of-password-cracking/

Probably in your head Cheesy But its really hard to remember that many nonsense characters, so in my opinion write it down on paper or store it in cloud keychain Smiley
