Why it's wrong to save vital information on your phone.

[FinneysTrueVision]

Criminals use all kinds of clever tricks to get people to give up their passcode and then wait for the right moment to steal their phone. Once they have gotten access they can go into all your apps and wallets to steal your money. They can also change your passwords and facial recognition so that you will be locked out of your iCloud and Google accounts, which will make it very difficult to remotely disable your phone.

Not only can you suffer significant financial damage but with your personal identifying information they can steal your identity and that will impact your life for many years in the future. If you are using your phone for trading or keeping large amounts of crypto then it is necessary to have a strong passcode and don't trust strangers who randomly ask you to do something which requires unlocking your phone.

There is an application on GooglePlay that allows you to track your phone's whereabouts in case it was stolen or lost and you have the option to destroy all the data in that phone so the holder will not use all the information of your stolen phone, this is just in case you put some of the valuable information like your private keys, the phone is never a good place to store your password private keys or whatever, unless your phone is in your vault and you only use to retrieve important information.

Prevention we know is by all means better than cure as some cure to certain circumstances my be too late before we know it. Thieves are known for their smartness and fast conduction of their operations before any help could arrive and if a thief that stole your phone is one that is crypto tech savvy I assure you that before you make use of that application on Googelplay store to track and destroy any vital information in the phone the thief must have extracted those information before you.

As a crypto savvy person the first informations he will be searching for is if there is crypto related applications and data's in the phone except he is just some novice then you are safe, but to be on the safer side absolutely is to never save your vital informations that are lead access to your assets in your phone. If you must have them saved in a phone it should be a phone you don't go out with or like you said you keep safe in a vault.

 In all, having informations like seeds phrase, passwords and the likes saved in a gadget that is connected online is never a best option as they can get corrupted by bugs leading to hack vulnerability, therefore going for offline means of saving such informations is the best of them all.

You  make some valid points, it definitely a risky saving vital information on your phone, such as login password or secret phrases. The reason people often save their vital details on their phones, it's because it's easier to access from any point and moments that's is it  major advantage but it's disadvantage if your phone get stolen or lost and ends up in the wrong hands it could have disastrous consequences.

To prioritise your security it best to avoid saving sensitive information on your phone. Instead consider writing down important details in a physical or diary. Written record is more reliable and secure if they kept safely because it also has its disadvantages. By taking this precautionary step you can better protect your personal information and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

It's really wrong to save vital information on your phone such as;
 * Login password on your browser or on your mobile apps: have you ever imagined if your phone got stolen or lost and it fell into the wrong hands, and how disastrous it might be to you? It's a very wrong move which should be avoided by all cost

* saving your Secret phase on your phone: if you are ever concerned about your on security, then this one should be avoided by all means, because it's just like when you save you login banking details on your phone, in such senario, if your phone is being compromised and it fell into the wrong hand, then you will surely pay dearly for your actions.

I would suggest that we save all our important information in writing in our jotter or dairy, because a written than words is always longer than the memory.

Losing your smartphone whether its iPhone or Android we have ways to lock and delete the contents stored in it remotely so it is the least of the concerns but the primary is security of the data is highly at risk when the device it connected to the internet and the smartphone is connected to internet 24/7 which means the attacker can target the smartphones more often that the desktop.

I think this should be the best in my opinion:

👉👉Creat a personal mail.
👉👉Save any documents you want.

So you are suggesting saving documents like passwords, private keys, etc online? This is not a good idea to save any private key online. It does not matter if it's your personal mail or your personal Google Docs or your personal chat. It can be hacked anytime since it's still saved in the online database. Maybe you have not faced any issues yet but it does not mean it can not be compromised somehow.

In addition, do not forget about such phone functions as T9. If you save or print your seed phrase, T9 will remember this, and if one day your phone is hacked, then T9 will be a good helper for scammers. Also, do not forget that many applications have functions to track all your activities, even when we do not know and think that the applications are harmless. In a word, storing personal and confidential information on your phone can be compared to a regular mailbox, which anyone can open and view.

[cryptoaddictchie]

Well nothing safes now. If you can manage to save all information such as seed phrase offline is the best thing to do. Yes its quite a work since youll need to manually kwrite it or yet print it and keep it on a very secure place but do that only if you wanted to secure your assets. Anything could happened in an instant and you dont know some might try to steal your phone from you and once that happened it will be the end for you if also he knew that you are doing crypto.

[sokani]

Yes, I did that a long time ago, I printed everything that I thought was important, such as passwords, passwords and so on, then stored it in an archive that even my family couldn't reach. but what is more important is to upgrade our knowledge about protecting personal data, hackers will not enter our place if we don't have a loophole, it is always our fault that allows the data to be accessed. So that this doesn't happen, we can use layered security, for example, if your cellphone is stolen, before it is stolen, use pattern, fingerprint or other security, at least this can minimize criminals accessing our data, or so that your cellphone doesn't get hacked, don't just click on any link or fill out a form from the source. which is not trustworthy. So in the end, it's not a problem to store information on your cellphone if you know the rules for securing it.

A hacker does not necessarily need to physically steal your phone in other to get your sensitive information. It can be done remotely with the help of a malware. Also, password, pattern, fingerprint, facial lock are good as the help to prevent unauthorized access to your phone, but please note that when your phone is stolen, a hacker can still bypass them and steal your information. The ideal practice is to keep your sensitive information such as seed phrase and credit card details completely offline.

[Vaculin]

Even if you write you password in a book its still not safe, no where is really safe but try as much as possible to protect your self.

It is safe to write your seed phrase on a piece of paper, as long as you keep that piece of paper safely and only you have access to it. You could say there is no method that is 100% safe and that is true, but there are definitely methods that are highly secure and much safer than others. For example, saving your wallet seed phrase on your mobile device is very unsafe, your seed phrase should not be stored anywhere online, but offline and backed up safely on a piece of paper.

Neither way, there’s no 100% safe method. All are at risk from being stolen or might be disclose to someone else if you are not 100% responsible of your own account. But I believe storing your seed phrase offline without disclosing it to anyone is probably the best option. As long as you don’t forget your seed phrase or misplaced where you write your password, that will always be safe. Saving vital information online will always add more risk of losing it so make sure to avoid that saving option.

I think it's depend on how you keep your phone save. In my case, my bank account has app that I use frequently on my phone, to make payment and transfer money, my option is these app which I can use rom my home, or going to the ATM. I always keep my phone safe, never join any public wifi and never open any suspicious link. As long as we can keep our phone safe saving vital information is ok.

Frankly, we aren't safe anymore. We invented stuff that are beginning to scare us now. All these appliances and gadgets are something else. The little we think we've done on the internet is even the much we've got ourselves exposed. That's why I smile whenever I come across didactic posts on data privacy and how not to use one's data online. Those who say that are quick to forget that they've some of those data of theirs with their banks, licensing offices, work places, just name them. If we've exposed our data in such places, what makes us think they can't be compromised or sold to the dark web? This is really scary.

* Login password on your browser or on your mobile apps: have you ever imagined if your phone got stolen or lost and it fell into the wrong hands, and how disastrous it might be to you? It's a very wrong move which should be avoided by all cost

There is lot of information that a thief can have access to if they get a hold of your phone. There are a lot of useful information that we save on our phones in a hurry, in our notes, drafts, gallery, email and even in our contacts etc. Criminals are aware of this, and so know exactly where to check whenever they are able to get your phone. There needs to be an awareness that should be developed to always be conscious of the information we keep in our phones, because even if your phone does not get stolen, it can also get lost or even damaged beyond repair, and you loose any vital information or details that you have saved on your phone.

Stealing has reduced everywhere since the IME tracking system made it easy to identify stolen mobiles. This effect was particularly pronounced in underdeveloped and developing countries, which have been brought under control by technology. However, due to carelessness, phone may also be lost, in that case, if the phone is in someone else's hands, if he somehow goes to Google Browser and gets those passwords, then of course he may lose all his personal assets. So being cautious is the smartest thing to do. Those who are alert can avoid such situations.

Any seed phrases or pin numbers related to money should never be saved to Google. In this case it is imperative to store this information in a safe place. Many are callous in maintaining those things which later leads to major disasters.

For me, this feature is actually very helpful in protecting our important data so that it cannot be accessed by the inventor of our smartphone.

Yes, I think we can all agree that this feature is quite useful in cases where your smartphone is lost or stolen.  However, I'm not sure what it has to do with the inventor of our smartphone - or the manufacturer, I'm assuming you mean.

[MIner1448]

That's right, storing sensitive information like passwords and passphrases on your phone can pose a serious security risk. This is especially true if the device is lost or stolen. Not to mention the malicious programs that are downloaded from the Internet every day.

[Dailyscript]

You are absolutely right. But if they tell me some people still save personal information on their phones, then I'll be surprised. There is the internet and other platforms like Google Drive, Gmail, and other services. That helps people save solid information on their phone.

My email backs up with google authenticator and an active cell phone number, because as long as the cell phone number is in your hand, you can fix security at any time. always check the activity log because email is like a window to your house, of course if you are used to it, it will be easy to identify even a grain of dust. Just like the email you use, when someone misuses it you can find out the digital records in the email if there is odd activity. so far my email is safe and has lasted about 10 years.
======================
Phrase is a unique key that is very sensitive, that since someone creates and imports it into the wallet there must be guidelines for handwriting because no matter how bad your device is the most difficult thing is to identify the copy and paste virus. and the right step is to keep writing directly. Indeed, the device is an easy and simple storage of all kinds of activities on the internet but it is better to be careful especially when it comes to storing crypto assets and other finances. There is no legal umbrella when losing assets in a personal wallet because all forms of loss are the responsibility of each person.

Which is basically your advice, you yourself have to do it and apply it well, we know that there are many things that can have fatal consequences for negative actions, if you store something valuable on Android, what else has to do with crypto assets, as well as notes other valuable.

I once saw one of my friends playing crypto, he had 2 Bitcoins at that time, before he died, he wrote down all the records of crypto assets, including valuable records related to crypto, his wife was shocked when she saw her husband's writing that the assets he owned, broke uphope comes true.

Here we can draw a conclusion, the importance of real records, especially about the crypto assets that we own, because we never know what will happen in the future, by considering some records, it can save your family from poverty.

This is also an important point that we need to know, there is no doubt that today's cellphones are very sophisticated, even if our cellphone is lost we can reset it using the Find My Device feature so that people who find our cellphone cannot access our important data on the cellphone. But sometimes many of us forget, apart from the dangers of storing important data on our cellphones, apart from losing our cellphones, it turns out it is even more dangerous if our cellphones are hacked, as you said, through suspicious networks or websites that make our data easily stolen by other people. .

It's all up to us to use our cell phones carefully and stay alert, but it's even wiser if we save important data in notes, at least don't keep it in just one place, but have two places as alternative storage if something happens, we still have one more spare.

You always need to be prepared that your phone will be lost, stolen, broken beyond repair, etc. Therefore, nothing critical should be stored on the phone.

* saving your Secret phase on your phone:

I couldn't think of anything more stupid. Who in their right mind would do such a thing? There is no need to have seed phrases with you every day and every hour. The less often you contact  with your seed phrase, the better for the safety and security of this.

I would suggest that we save all our important information in writing in our jotter or dairy, because a written than words is always longer than the memory.

Well, what would we do without your advice? Sorry for the sarcasm - I couldn't resist.

Paper storage media are not the best solution for storing important information because they are easily destroyed. And also, writing in a notebook or diary creates another threat to the safety of confidential information - this is a banal theft. Therefore, it should be hidden in such a way that no strangers (in some cases, close people) have access.
