Hi. We all have too many passwords, private keys, adresses, registration informations. I want to askt how you keep them. I dont ask you to explain where you put your ledger wallet  Grin  For example, I keep my passwords and private keys on a simple document which I created on my laptop. This means that if I lose my computer or someone stoles it, I may lose too many things. What are your solutions? Is there any safe option? I have to get precautions before it is too late.

Why not store it on a cloud server wherein, you are the only one who has the access over it? and if you lost your laptop, still there's a chance that you can recover your accounts again.

make the safest Google account, you have to do a complete verification, especially the mobile number
after that, save all usernames, passwords and also anything you consider important, including the private key into a notepad
then you enter the file.txt from Notepad into the .rar archive and protect it with a password
upload on your google account or maybe on icloud if you have one

If you don't have a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor.
1. Encrypt the file that has your priv keys.
2. Store it in an encrypted USB like Sandisk. Use a different password.
3. Create a USB copy and store the other one in a safe location. Only 1 USB is used for daily access.

You should buy a flash drive dedicated only for storing sensitive information like your private keys and passwords. You need to back up your files in your laptop or smartphone every day as a precaution in case something unexpected happens.

everything like passwords, private keys, and keystore I store in a folder on my PC (the only one using pc is me), so I'm not worried that it will be opened by someone else. and so far it is safe and nothing happens.

Well, I advise not to put your very crypto information in your laptop, maybe reserve one flashdrive to it, whenever anyone might access your laptop, still you have securely put all your accounts in a flash drive that you are the only one should access.

Your Keys, Your Coin; Not your keys, not your coins.

In fact, today (Jan 3 2019), there's an exercise going on called the "Proof-of-Key day" exercise. Where for 1 day, every participant withdraws all their Bitcoins from every trading/custodial account into address(es) they personally hold.

You can read more about this on this well-written post on Medium (https://medium.com/@eljuangalt/proof-of-keys-intentional-crypto-bank-run-4-step-survival-guide-4422b7c0e0d8)

As with my private key and password, I store it in a document on my laptop. And to store this important data in documents that are not connected to the internet network. And until now I have never lost my tokens.

Same here.  Ive also done that but aside from laptop i also save another copy on my usb stick ( flashdrive ) and on my mobile phone as well . this is for extra security so that whatever happens to other devices , i wont worrry that much because i can still access my wallet  . 

it does not necesarily to turn off your internet because hackers cannot access our files pretty easy because of built in firewalls and anti malware installed on our devices  .
