Safe guard your seed phrase.

[DaNNy001]

The first day when I join this forum, I create electrum wallet but I never put Bitcoin inside because I never gather money and some kind Bitcoin knowledge.
But this seed phrase matter, eating I understand about am be say if e lose no way to take recover am back, and yesterday I still see one topic, way talk about seed phrase. by PrivacyG
And this seed phrase are very important to us as a crypto user seed phrases are words that can safe guard ur account
we human being we dey forget things well well, so if we won create electrum wallet them go give us some words and those words nai be our keys to reopen the wallet just Incase our phone lose or get one or two issues.
Some people dey share their phones with their friends, so it is better not to save this ur seed phrase in ur mobile phones or even ur google account because hackers fit get access to this ur seed phrases anytime them yet get small opportunity.
but once you collect am carry pen and paper write am down keep, make ur phone loss nothing concern you, your account still dey for you but be careful where you keep am when you done write am down.

I always tell people that screenshot your seed phrase isn't safe cause anything can still happen, it's always best to write to down somewhere or simply save it in your email for quick recovery
Screenshoting it can also expose you to getting hacked, especially if you are constantly giving out your phone to other people
Personally I don't like this seed phrase of a thing cause I feel it might cause some issues if I get it mixed up
I always prefer Gmail verifications if that option is available, I find it easy to access my wallets with this

Securing your seed phrase in a secured location is the most important aspect of cryptocurrency, your coins is your asset and your wallet is the access to your coins, it is only your private keys that makes you the owner of the coins. When you lose seed phrase and your password, that means that you have lost the access to your coins forever, if it is stolen that means that you have transferred the ownership of your coins because there is no way that you can access it again. There is no KYC verification done when creating a wallet so it is only the seed phrase and password that gives you ownership of your coins. Don't save your private keys online, make copies and hide it offline in different secured locations.

As a serious person that value your Bitcoin wallet and seed phrase you need to properly secured your seed phrase, just as you protect your credentials, like your Certificates, NIN,BVN or even Account numbers,one should be serious and see the need of properly saving our seedphrase i don't think there is anybody in the country that will be asked to provide any of these information BVN, NIN e.t.c, that will not be able to that ,thee same way you save your phrase.

You can go to the business center and re-create the phrase by adding a bigger font or colour, just beautify it and use it to decorate your sitting room or elsewhere in your home, just bbthe same way you hang your wedding pictures or any of your favourite frame , which makes it more safe.
You can even laminate it and keep it inside your documents in your file.
At times our over protection make us loose some of our valueables,in these way , you will not boarder yourself .

While we are discussing about privacy and safety wise with our wallets containing our bitcoins, I am personally discouraged on noting how you creates wallet address when you are not set to have your funds in it.
Believe me or not, we are more conscious with our wallets only when there is a value of funds in it because keep securing an empty wallet can be tiring at times so then, it is usually better to create your wallet at when you are ready to have it funded because the value of funds in it would make you extremely be careful with your seed phrase and maintain a good privacy just to keep your funds secured.
So if I were you, I will create a new wallet address and generates a new phrase to afresh a more security after then you created one when you where not set to find it.
Clearly, privacies to seed phrases with your wallets is an almost concerned which should not be taken for granted.

WTF!!! Abeg no do this oh, how you go even carry your seed phrase go cyber cafe, e just mean say you wan lose your bitcoins. Why do you need a bigger font, what for, and tell me you are joking when you suggest that one should hang their seed phrase on their wall, what are you talking about bro. The only thing wey you need na pen and paper, write your seed phrase down and keep am well; if you wan secure am pass like that, use stainless steel backup.

Seed phrase is something very important to have a proper record of it because when you don't store them safe you stand the chance to lose complete access to your account and to the funds inside the wallet. That's why I always encourage people to store their seed phrase or private keys in written form where only them could have authority over there documents to access their funds when needed. That's why many people who complained about their funds missing is a result of not storing their seed phrase where only them could have access to it.

  Tf did I just read.....
Let's say it escaped the beauty u made to it and the typist is so dumb not to use it, hanging it like a wall pic for every visitors to access your account is way more delusional  ....
There's no need for those deluded stuff or you need is a copy of you phrase written by you secretly when there's no one watching, now keeping it safe also depends on you but it shouldn't be associated with any form of Internet.. There're lot of ways to keep it safe  but you might want to carefully safe it where there won't be any form of water or fire getting near it and remember it must always remain  hidden always to only you .

Anybody that is into cryptocurrency, especially we that are on this forum must secure our seed phrase because it is our only access to import our original wallet into another device. Bitcoin is a decentralized currency and everybody accesses their coins through their wallets making them their own banks, the moment you lose your device where you have your wallet and also lose your seed phrase that means that your Bitcoin in that wallet is lost forever. That is the gravity of losing your private keys, it's your proof of ownership and when it's lost or stolen, the ownership is either transferred to a thief or is left in the blochchain as a donation to the Bitcoin community.

Everybody that has a wallet address should also be well informed not to save their seed phrase online because of hacks, the internet is a public space and people's devices can be hacked. The best practice is to write down your private keys and hide them in more than one place, so if one is lost or damaged you can still have access to your wallet in the case of lose or damage of your device.

That's a very good one to be highily noted as long we're into this crypto sphere using the blockchain.
Wallets would actually be useless if there's no fund in it but i to sounds ignorant to hear from beginners that their funds is more important to them than the wallets. It's noted that payments are made before buying bitcoin or any crypto coin but primarily, keep safe and privates of your wallets seed phrase is a valuable acknowledgement because without detailed to secure your seed phrases, you'd definitely have your funds at stake.
We should also be mindful of multiple places we stores our seed phrases so that we don't forget to take note of checking out of them if still intact because it could mean to be reachable to anyone if we're not concious enough because at times we might get loosed of some copies at the hidden places while some persons has in anyway or accidentally catch up with it and then steals our funds with the access of the seed phrsses.

Even in your phone you fit save am, I know say some people Dey give their phone to their friends but for me people wey Dey give their phone to their friend and they have their seed phrase save in the phone are not wise, don’t get me wrong, what I’m trying to say is that as a person that knows he is hiding in his phone and you know that your friends fit see am if you give them phone is better to not give them your phone, I know some of the friends will see it as you don’t want to give them your phone if them collect your phone waiting them wan do if not be bad friends and thief wey them be, I no Dey trust anybody ooh even my friends that’s why I no Dey give them my phone.

Na true be say you fit write it down on a paper so that you can easily get your things back because even if you save it in your phone or email and your phone lost e fit Dey take time to get access to your wallet but writing it down is the best way you will get them back, but as person wey Dey hold bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency make you try Dey wise and no trust anybody, Na friends Dey teach person lesson.

Some newbies in crypto actually learned the hard the way because they were careless with their seed phrase, a lot of them think it's not something they would need again so they just abandon it.. I've done this when I started my crypto journey And I lost some funds due to this careless act
The best thing to do is to write them in a special book, save them in an encrypted note application on your phone, you might ask why not simply screenshot and save on gallery?? I don't advice you to do that especially if you are type that gives out your phone to other people

[Odogwu-Blockchain]

It's advisable also not to save your seed phrase in your notepad app, that's the major mistake someone do make also, many feel that saving up in notepad is somewhat easy and faster but it's dangerous because, all informations on your notepad are cleared out if you conduct to clear up your cache and storage on your notepad.

Never procrastinate to pen down seed phrase on paper immediately you are issued, it helps.

I always tell people that screenshot your seed phrase isn't safe cause anything can still happen,

No decentralized wallet allows the option to screenshot seed phrase, it's never happened, except some cheap web wallet that doesn't know the rules.

I won't advise you leave your seed phrase in a phone whether encrypted or not it's risky to make such move as much as you wouldn't also make a screenshot of it too. Any person with an idea that you are into cryptocurrency could have access to your phone and brute-force  your so-called encryption having access to your seeds phrase. Or what if you lose your phone accidentally your phone and keys all gone.

Having the keys written on a special notebook/paper storing it in a safe and well secured area or better still anyone can go through this link to learn different after ways  to back up a seed phrase https://blog.lopp.net/how-to-back-up-a-seed-phrase/

Writing down your seed phrase can be an option but while writing it down you do not need to make things very obvious that you are writing a seed phrase so someone who knows what seed phrase looks like will not be easily able to tell. You can make it less conspicuous, and then keep it in a manner that does not attract attention. I think when storing it, it will be better to keep away from our other regular documents that can be easily accessed.

If your seed phrase is stored in a phone, it should not be a phone that you take to the public, or allow other people to use. It has to be a really private device, very private that other people barely know about it.

Paper backup is better.

The paper backup is not that safe too, because if the paper is affected by water and a word or 2 is missing, you are likely to also lose it. I think the paper written pass phrase should also be laminated and kept in a file to avoid being affected by water or moisture. Just like most documents were destroyed during the flood. Or it is also important to also have another alternative backup like a hard-disk drive and also. Back up in Gmail. By translating it to another language. Incase gmail is hacked they would not know the meaning of those words. Or you can rearrange it in your Gmail maybe turning it upsidedown where no 10 becomes no 1 and no 9 becomes no 2 continuesly. For example
1. Man.                       1. wealth         
2. Success.                2. Quote
3. Behavior.                3. Whale
4. Delight.                   4. Diet
5. Grace.       VS.        5. Danger
6. Danger                    6. Grace
7. Diet.                         7. Delight
8. Whale.                     8. Behavior
9. Quote.                     9. Success
10.wealth                  10. Man

Though i know it's 12 seed pass phrase but by so doing of moderating your pass phrase some times can make it hard for Hackers to know your pass phrase this is my own mathematical rearrangement you can also do your own .

Oh, Woow, this is a very clever way of safeguarding one's seed phrases. The way I wrote it in My book sef ehn, anybody can read that book and not have the thought that that's my secret seed phrase. I used My Poetic intuition carry package small Rhymes weyn sweet and funny. So, nobody go even reason My Secret.

I mostly write my private keys/seed phrase on a clean sheet of paper kept among my school documents, its safe there more than any other place I may think of, I've been a victim of key lost before in my phone notepad and I lost an asset worth something in my wallet, I learnt a lesson to always write it out in paper to avoid been reckless.

[SuperBitMan]

When I started cryptocurrency investment newly I lost my seed phrase, I wrote it down and kept it in my room and some days later I couldn't see it anymore I searched everywhere but I couldn't find it and at that time I already had some money inside my account and that was how I lost everything.
For me I think the first thing we should learn about when it comes to cryptocurrency is how to secure your seed phrase and password, a lot of people have lost money through misuse of there seed phrase or password, if you don't secure this things very well someone can use it to withdraw all your funds in your account.
So one needs to safe guard his or her seed phrase and password to avoid losing money and account,
You need to keep all this things in a place you know you are the only one who can have access to, if you do this then you have safe guarded them.

Seed phrase na one important thing we sopos no carry play. Because Naim be the most important thing for this cryptocurrency journey if you no get keep am well, you go loss access to all your funds. E get one of my friend wey lost $500 Worth of bitcoin for him trust wallet because him misplace him wallet see phrase. And uptill date e never fit get access to am. and the cause of this kind thing na absent minded or reluctancy. I go do am later and that later go turn to forever. Na when you don get issues with your fund or you don loss access to you phone wey you go dey find way to retrieve am.
Make we dey make sure say before we start to dey use any wallet wey newly open especially non custodial wallet make we first of all keep the see phrase in other not to make mistake.

I heard a story of someone that lost 22 thousand dollars worth of Bitcoin because he forgot his seed phrase, most people don't know the difference between keeping their funds in an exchange and a wallet, when you are keeping your funds in a wallet you must set up a seed phrase that would be required when you want to access it. I had a conversation with my friends few days ago and we were talking about ways to save a seed phrase and we weren't able to come up with a conclusion on the best way to protect your seed phrase. Screenshoting isn't safe cause if anything happens to your device it's automatically gone

Safe guard your seed phrase will not stop u not to learn cryptocurrency, it will open your eyes to see d reason u must write your seed phrase in a safe place u can fall back to take dem in case anything happen to your laptop. To me, I will advice newbies to have d idea on how to protect their seed phrase before leaning bitcoin and cryptocurrency, because it can pain when u loss your seed phrase and your laptop and it will be difficult for u to recover d bitcoin because d only thing u can use to recover d bitcoin is your seed phrase which u have loss, I can still remember what my mentor told me when he was about to put me through about bitcoin and cryptocurrency, he said I should make sure I write all my personal details in a safe place Incase I want to make use of dem in d future, and it will be easy for me to have access to dem again.

You emphasize more on the laptop. I just want to let you know that you can import your seed on any Wallet app, that allows import of seed phrase. Both on desktop or laptop. What I come to know of is that some people don't actually know that they can take the seed phrase generated by one wallet app and import to wallet app. It doesn't matter the device you had used to create the wallet, it will still show you your funds regardless.

Again, storing of seed phrase should be one of the thing that as a beginner, you should take very seriously. If you end up losing your seed, and probably got logged out of your wallet app or something, you can loss your coins for ever. avoid storing your seed online like some do in Google. Yes it might not necessarily mean that someone will just start chasing your seed immediately you add them to Google or other cloud  services, but then there is a probability of you losing your seed to hackers, without you even being aware.
