How do you store your private keys

[adibi12]

I don't usually keep all of them in one place, I keep my private key in many places, because if I just save it on my computer I'm afraid that one day my computer will get a virus and all my data will be lost, which is why I prefer to keep private keys I am in many places.

Personally I do prefer storing my keys offline to prevent third party Acess and also incase of computer hard disk breaking down.

One may ask, are paper wallets safe enough from relatives and friends?

My reply is that I have developed my own language whereby I represent the vowels in the alphabets in other to with some special characters which only myself, I mean no other person can interpret.

There isno means of which we store our wallet key that is 100 percent safe, it all depends on extra mile we are willing to go to balance everything, balance everything in the sense that we will store it in a place that is well encrypted if online and make sure we don’t forget the detail because that could be the problem with using string password that we want to try and remember, because the best is to memorize the password and never keep it online.

For the paper wallet, it is also a good idea, like I said, it still depend on the extra length the owner is willing to go, because paper wallet is why many people lost their bitcoin at its early stage, some of them threw the wallet away mistakenly or deliberately. I have paper wallet for coins that I have heavily invested in, and I stored it in bank safe which I am still paying for its services.

I always use hardware wallets to keep my private keys safe and never keep the keys online, in the cloud, or in a mail.

I usually store my private key 3rd times, first was in my computer, second in my flash disk, and third i print out in a paper than i store it in my cabinet

There's no place that is truly safe even for hardware wallets with the risk of losing and viruses.
I think cloud storage can also be considered with the requirement to save it in rar files and with a password combination that is more complicated than privatekeys itself, then change file extensions with other before uploading them.

I agree with you and think that storing your private keys offline is the best way of how to protect your info. Nowadays, everything is hackable, but nobody can steal a sheet of paper with every key written there. I do not trust things like anti virus software and so on.

I have my ledger and I'm 100% sure that it's all covered this is what the ledger is all about in case you need the utmost security for your coins, nothing comes close to it, but I used to store it on my email with two-factor authenticator and phone verification activated.

Having a lot of private keys is hard to keep, but it should be place on the safe place its a must I believe. I get my first ledger this year and honestly, i still don’t know how to keep it well aside from creating new email for this and wrote it on a paper and place it on the safest place on our house. I put it on a documents folder with a bit of shuffle word, i trust my family so I know that’s a safe place for me.

I am using several methods of key storages. There is a secure database which keeps the keys. It is synced with my pc and phone. DB is encrypted and has a password and master key security levels. Also, the database is supporting versioning. I can revert to an old version in case of corruption. Rather than that, I am using papers for keys.

Private key is very important once you loss it, you can't able to open your account address for sure 100%.
That's why for me, I keep and store my private key and on my 3 usb flash drive. And then I also save it on a
paper wallet too.

For me i dont want to make it more complicated i just write it in a piece of paper and put in my wallet and thats it. no more necessary things should do thats easy! I dont store my keys and password online i have my special small notebook thats fit in my wallet so i have a peace of mind.

I actually keep my private keys in my phone. I am satisfied with that since I do not yet have to deal with hackers. I do not have money in my wallet but I'm making sure that I am not sharing it with anyone.

It is quite dangerous if you drop your phone on the move. My friend had the same situation. It is best to save it on a personal computer and install the password carefully

[Caishen_Project]

Well, I think the best way to store your private keys is writing it down on paper and keeping it safe where it's only accessible by you and you alone. I don't actually trust or believe storing any online storage, either notepad,hard drive

[NeelMariaWarner]

if I personally store my private key on a white sheet of paper, besides that I also don't forget to copy it in a number of places like cellphones, flashdisk and some complicated folders that I made on PC. and of course there are no problems so far and hope nothing bad happens to me.

[StatesManG]

I store my private key in different place to provide more security for me to avoid losing or misplacing. I can't go very deep on this for security reasons but I save my keys both online and offline and that's my choice

the way you do is very cool, it never crossed my mind that this method is quite safe in storing our private key. Yes, I will try to create a password formula that I only know myself to encrypt my private key, and the formula is only stored in my brain and there is no digital trace that can crack it.
Thank you for some useful tips, I hope this method is safe ...

This question is a matter of confidential and no one will say you definitely. Because these days the fishing and hacking of the cryptocurrency has grown. So, don't as this type of foolish question here. But, I only say that I am storing my private keys offline and with paper wallet.

[mattadc]

I keep my wallet keys on a flash drive and have a copy of the keys printed on paper, and I do not recommend that anyone keep the key file on their computer.
