i am always store my phrase on my pc with a notepad or something that can save a text document.
then i will backup the file into my usb, and stored it on my box or personal cabinet with a keylock

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.

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 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.

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!

[nightfury]

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.

[levvv]

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.

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.

[faultunfmuzzled8]

ha ha interesting topic, but mine one is something that is even complex but even i remember it always

[jhonnydeep87]

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.

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

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.

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.

[almaerk08]

I wrote my keys on a notebook and keep it in my room. In this way I can have a hard copy for it. I also save it in my USB flash drive for easier way if I want to open my MEW, just copy and paste and less error on typing.

[Alveus]

I keep the words in a QR code with one word less, in a printed paper and in the pdf file locked with password.

[WellDogeo]

I am very concerned about the security issue, so I usually save it with a USB stick. This will be safe and secure. I used to get hacked by someone and get my tokens and I was very concerned about security.

I heard people say this is not safe because keeping it online is never safe it case it get hacked.  Well if theres a fire or anything happens to your computer/apartment etc, then everything burns down, then what?  I heard people say they have a safe and vault but would if its a huge fire etc.  Thus my thoughts were as long as you have an online backup of it... make sure you put a long password for your email and also keepass, then you have access to it.

Here what i do for this, I take a screenshoot and change the format from .jpg to random format and change the file name and backup it on my android phone since android is pretty safe from backdoor or spyware. If you want make a backup online, then create a new email from gmail after that create really strong password and link your new email to your main email. After that upload your backup to google drive and set private or only you. You must create random password for new email, since you already linked your account then you can try forget password from your main email. But still if you dont have access to your main email then its gone :/ .

Do people here still not recommend this?  I got a nano ledger s and thus keep my btc there.  At the moment, i wrote it down on a piece of paper.  The thing is i could type the seed in my keepass... thus if someone got my laptop, well they still have to know my password for keepass.  Or if email get accessed somehow, they still need to get my password for keepass.  

Probably some of them still recomend this.

Does anyone here have ideas on this?  I heard people mention they break the 24 word in half or a few pieces and put it in secure location.  Like i heard people say 2 different bank deposit boxes.  Would that be smart?  Of course theft could happen in those but very rare.  But if you leave it in say 3 places, well if something happens in one place, well you won't have access to say 8 of words if you break it down into 24 words.  Does anyone have thoughts on this?

I just split my word by 6 and safe it to my wardrobe and one on my pocket. Of course i still have backup on my phone just in case. So, i dont know about bank deposit boxes.

What is the best way to do this?  Also heres another scenario.  What if you travel quite a bit.  I do this quite much and thus i keep my nano ledger with me.  So where do i keep my 24 word seed then?  The thing is with electrum with the 12 word seed, sure you could possibly remember the 12 words.  I never tried but that probably wouldn't be that hard.  Like imagine you remember just the first 6 words, that wouldn't be that hard.  Now with the nano ledger s, 24 words is way too much.  

Write some of words to paper and put it on your pocket. Lets say you remember 10 words (more is better) just write rest of 14 words on paper and keep it. Even if someone got this, they still need to find rest of your words.

Now obviously walking around anywhere with your seed is foolish.  But if you travel quite a bit and have your nano ledger s with you, what is your best suggestion?  But in general, should you store your seed in your home?  Or in a bank or somewhere else?  The other place someone mentioned that was interesting was imagine you have a box in casino where you keep money/chips there.  That certainly seems like good idea but i dont have access to it.

I keep it on my home.

How many cases has there been where there was fire and someones laptop/computer and safe or their documents got destroyed?  Certainly there has to be quite a bit.  So does anyone have tips on this?  The other thing was maybe store it in a usb drive in keepass and encrypt it and store it somewhere in the house where like in a box where it would look like nothing?  The other thing i thought was how about breaking it in 2 or 3 pieces and putting it in a book etc?  But of course you dont keep 8 words there.  You add more words like a sentence and try to make it look like its just scribble?

Probably, my first answer can help you with this.

I think its more safer in apple than android fone,either way you mentioned it great mate,this more reliable than what will i advice.

But i wanna share mine to,that i saved my phrases on a piece of paper like what OP said,but i give it to my wife to keep it for me,since im very careless on some things in my hands.though i guess you have no wife to share with lol

I saved one of my private keys on the computer. In order to be more secure, I backed up three of them in different SD cards, which I think is safe enough. I don't like to take notes because it's easy to lose.
