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.
Omo when e comes to seed phase matter I go still talk am again there is no one safe way to safe it, because if u talk say you go save an online for email or somewhere else it can get attack by hackers or have malware issues. To some extent I go even talk say email own de very dangerous pass because your phone fit enter anybody hand and humans de very smart especially wen it comes to money matter. And again you could loose your phone anytime or something could happen to your email.

And if you talks at you wan write am for paper, anything fit do the paper, another person fit see am where you write am, again the paper fit damage maybe water fit touch am or rat sef fit chop am. You never can tell. And again u fit need your seed phase make you no de where the paper de. Maybe you traveled and you urgently need your seed phase and since na paper you write am you no fit they carry am go everywhere.

There are so many things that can happen to your seed phase no matter where you choose to safe them. So me since I know say there is no one best way to safe your seed phase I de safe am for multiple places. I de save am for paper, for email, and even use the words as caption on different photos on my social media. So with this no matter where I de I feel I can have access to my seed phase anytime.

Not also advisable to store seed phrase iny phone and other online devices because of online attacks. An online device can be infected with malware.

Paper backup is better.

For offline security, extending the seed phrase with passphrase will generate different keys and addresses. But if the passphrase backup is lost, just like the seed phrase backup, the coin is no more accessible but lost. Advisable to backup both the seed phrase and passphrase differently in different locations.

You are forgetting that a paper can get damaged by a lot of things and can also be misplaced, saving them on your device might not be safe especially you screenshot them and save them in your gallery. To me the best way to save them is to put them in your electronic mail or Google account, no one can access your email but you expect you give out your password which is something no one can do. Your last point too is very reasonable, backing your seed phrase is also a good idea, when it comes to crypto you must be very careful.

What if Google cloud is compromised? Or what if your account is compromised? Anything can happen. To backup your seed phrase online is not safe and secure at all. Paper backup is better. If you think paper is too fragile, you can laminate it. If you think laminating it is still fragile to fire, you can get yourself a steel or titanium seed phrase backup sheet. But I prefer paper backup but no natural disaster before where I am staying.

I have often heard on this forum that, Not your keys Not your Coins . Each of our members in this forum has their own wallet and has its own phase or seed phrase to protect that wallet. To keep those wallets safe and secure, seed phrases should be stored in a proper place so that no one can find them. Many of us want to save this wallet phase through online based device ie phone and google. Maybe it is not completely safe for them because online based devices are likely to be infected with malware.

Am against  hiding your seed and phrase keys from everyone.  They should be a trusted friend or family member that should be trusted with incase your misplace it. Even if you store offline it can still miss. No one can becareful enough. I once lost my wallet phrase and retrieve it from a cousin I once sent it to. But we must protect our keys by all means. Safe it online and offline to avoid story that touches.
