according to me storing the private keys offline is the best way you will be completely fearless and relax if you're computer got crashed than also no issue.
Of course, off line storage of login details is the best because I don't know of any online mode of storage of wallet login details. Some people prefer to keep them in their emails and icloud but emails used for online public forms registration can be under attack by hackers.

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.
How do you save yours?
make a notepad save in important files, make a copy in flash disk and keep that flash disk on your safe place like deposit box. another back up is print out and save in your filing cabinet

Seeing so much happen and a friend of mine who clicked an unprotected link, after that her wallet was compromised and she lost all her fund as a result of that, I save my private key offline, I think that is cool for me.

i like traditional ways . my wife writes them to a notebook (my handwriting is awful ) and we keep them only there. i think this is the one of the safest ways to keep the private keys safe.

Easy for me,,, just write down in 2 pieces of paper just like how I read. And there is another copy of it somewhere else. And finally,,, memorized by heart in my head. I can remember it because it is made into a phrase of all the first letters;)

I think that Privat keys from the most important purses better print out and to store in a safe place. Maybe I'm a fan of the old days.)

Only in notepad, and then back up in 1 hardisk drive and 2 flashdisk. 1 i save in place that only me know, and the rest in my room. Not really want to complicated about that and of course i will not bring it anywhere.
Like me but i use cloud storage not hardisk or falshdisk, danger. I think the better option to store private key is offline wallet, because no connection to prevent hacker but until now i worry about this. So even safe i dont used this way. So i choose to archive it then store in cloud storage media I have experience get hacked my google account, don't know how but the thief can pass my 2fa with phone number. And then my account that i save in google drive stolen, and he withdraw my money from exchanges. From that, i prefer to use offline hardware to back up my private keys.

I agree with you 100%. I don't believe in storing any key online to avoid unnecessary circumstances. In my own opinion it is better storing them offline. In the case of backup phrase I write them down while in the case of private keys I print them and keep offline; all area stored in a safe place where only I can access. Security needs to be paramount.

I prefer to save in via notepad and store the information in a flash drive; not in my computer because I'm not the only user in my computer as my classmates use it also when we do a research. Then I keep my flashdrive safe through storing it in my mini safe bolt that I'm the only one who has the acess with.

For me it is enough to have a separate flash drive with private keys and other data I need. Accounts crypto wallets and private keys are very long and entering them manually with paper is very inconvenient.

I have so many wallets and I spread my digital assets in so many wallets that even if a hacker gets his hands in one or two, they won't be able to do much damage to me, this is one good way to keep your funds secured... As for private keys, I save write mine down in multiple places and stash them in areas that are not easily accessible to anyo ther person except me, Moreover I store online too but I don't disclose where.

I put it on note and screenshot it and then upload on Google drive. I never write private key on book and keep in somewhere place, cause I'm afraid I'm gonna forget it. You can try it too cause it's very simple and so far, safe for me.

Personally, I think that your passwords should be kept in the most secret place. Since the password can be chosen for every taste. I will also advise you to keep several wallets and keep your funds in different wallets. Since anything happens, passwords can be lost or one wallet can crack. And the rest of the wallets will be fine. So I wish you all good luck.

Personally, storing private keys inside your phonebook is very risky, i was a vitcim of phone hacked and all my funds got lost. So the best way to store a private key is write it down on a paper and keep in a safe place. Most wallet recommends this.

I use open source password manager, Keepass, it makes me easily move from one computer to another, I can save the database elsewhere, and it was password protected. I had tried Truecrypt before, and it was amazing, however, due to some password protection issue, I've changed to Keepass. There's a lot of free and open source password manager around, may choose of your own choices.. https://fossbytes.com/best-free-password-manager-software/

Paper wallets is not that secure high probability of disappearing without any trace better to store it on flashdrive or harddrive store it on safeplace, storing your keys in andriod device and computer is risky there are alot of hackers spreading. Be secure.

I use a slightly similar method, I store my keys online in a fresh telegram account that I don't share with anybody or even use, but to be more secure, I add 2FA to the account but I think the best security feature I implemented was to ensure that I mix some phrases into my private keys, thereby rendering it useless to any other person but me.

I like to print out the privet keys and save it as a hardcopy in a file. I think this is one of the best ways to store the keys simply and securely.

From my expertise, having a water-fire-proof wood box will be enough for storing the private keys. Otherwise, it will become harder to hold the private keys without any potential danger to its existence. Instead of storing on the big exchanges, I go for the hardware or desktop wallets. Both options are secure than holding on the exchanges which dangerously open to the hacks.

I do not understand why such difficulties. It is easier to have several wallets and distribute your tokens among them. And private keys and files to them to keep on your computer in a text version with tricky names. And of course, a good antivirus. Well, as a supplement to duplicate all the information to your flash drive so as not to be afraid if the hard drive suddenly breaks.
