What I did is I print my private key in the paper and keep it in a safe place.If you forgot or loose your key you can't recover it anymore.

If you lose your bitcoin wallet's private key, it is not possible to get it back anyway. Will lose all the assets left in the wallet and you can not use your bitcane wallet forever.
So it is necessary to save the bitcoin wallets private key safely.

You should be sure that you have kept your private key in a private place that you know yourself,avoid visiting unsafe sites to keep your private key safe is better you take prints and store them in your personal storage such as in your locker or elsewhere and besides you can also store it on your external hard disk and you can also upload it to Google Drive or to another cloud storage drive with a strict password so that no one else can get it in any way.

I think printing your private keys and keeping them in a safe place is the ideal way of protecting your wallet. I also download the keystore and keep them save on my usb. But I think if you are planning to store your bitcoin it is not advisable to use online wallets but instead use hardware wallets. Hardware wallets are a lot safer and far more secure than any online wallets available.

If you set long passwords and many special characters, currently, you have no way of recovering passwords or breaking passwords of the wallet.dat file!
You must always be careful

You need to become responsible whatever key or password that you have. Make sure you already save the important files in somewhere else which you can sure that no one will knows about it. You can have two copies from all your password to save.

The private key will be hard to remember in memory and very noisy. because we can forget someday, preferably the private key is stored in a device that is safe and will not be lost. If we forget the private key of the bitcoin wallet we have, then we will also lose the bitcoin in the wallet, and to this day I have not found any alternate key missing or forgotten

What are the measures to keep your private key safe and in memory ? Are there any alternatives to retrieve the key back ?

If you are printing that key on any paper then you can get back or if you are saving that in your notepad in your phone or PC then you can get your keypad but there is a chance of getting hacked..as hackers can easily access the Notepad on your phone or PC or best is to use the hardware wallets in which the risk is too much low of losing your bitcoins.

Restore private key is impossible.
Best way to store your private key is wallet paper with keys.
Print and save it.

The best way is to write it down or print it on a paper and store it somewhere safe. It is also advised to keep bitcoins in different wallets.

Is a big lost for you because you can not get it any more what you have, so better right it or keep it in the way that you think is safe do one or two copies.
If you forgot your keys to your wallet it's a big lost for you, you will not be able to recover you keys and your income in your wallet will also be lost. Better if you always ready for back up your keys.

I don’t think to should believe your memory, write it down somewhere. Better to have it on paper in printed way, because your PC can be hacked. Put it in safe place, do several copies.
That is true, the best way is to put it in some "material" way cause this is the safiest option that could be done in this internet era.

I think if it's necessary, we can buy deposit box in the store so we can make a print of paper wallet and then we can save it in that box and we don't have to worry from the hacker or other people that might want to steal our wallet. I think its more safety than to use notepad or write in other paper because it can get burn, dirty or other else.

Print your private key to a paper or write it on the book or remember your private key. I suggest to all cryptocurrency users to not save provate key in a file only , we should have our private key on physical paper, it is safer because it is not connected to internet. When people loss tbeir private key then the deflation will be going crazy.

Old ways but safer than ever, writing it down on a diary and keep it safe, this old fashioned ways still effective when dealing with private keys, a lots of scammed and hacked issues has been done online so saving in a typical hand writing got a lot of edge when you are really avoiding being hack and your wallet will be safe just do the extra measures.

Do not forget your private key, because it is the most important thing in your life. especially when you're in crypto, one's that you have forgotten that person.

One of the worst times in your life is when you lose your password,private key, backup wallet, it will disappear.because when you use blockchain then you will lose it all and you can not do recovery. i started to learn to be careful nowadays,do backups wallet, keep private key in a safe place,and share your coins in many places wallet or other exchange and remember the best thing to do is print it in hard copy and save it in a place that is only accessible to you.Making space for backup is very important to avoid losing money due to carelessness.

Absolutely! If someone forgot his password there's no way it can be retrieved. I highly-recommend to have a backup and save it to secured or safe server. Storing password or key in a safe place can help protect from hackers, software failures, and human mistakes. It can also help recover bitcoin wallet, because you know and you can check the correct key or password where you store it, in case you forget it.
