Do you use paper to write your 12 word seed phrase?

[King Belieal]

Every crypto wallet has a seed phrase which has 12 random words. It is meant to always be kept safe at all times because it can recover crypto wallets if lost.

Do you write your seed phrase on paper to keep safe? How safe is it that way?

I've heard of seed phrases in the past that had something to do with crypto wallets. But I didn't know that this would essentially be the password, structured in this way since the idea is to make it virtually impossible to crack. However, the biggest problem would be if the wallet owner were to lose this phrase, composed of 12 randomly generated words, because there would be no way to recover it if they weren't mistaken.

In non-custodial wallets such as Trust wallet, Metamask, Phantom, I not only save/record the seed phrase in a special book, but also save it in the form of screenshots and save it offline. In fact, the seed phrase is another form of private key to access the blockchain and can be imported/exported to other wallets, for example Trust to Metamask.

That's the old school practice that I still use to keep my seed phrase safe. It is on paper kept safe in my library.

Yes, I write them separately on my planner to be sure they are not forgotten, in case there is a problem with my laptop that may require rebooting.

I normally store this on one of my note apps, i can easily misplace the paper so there is no need writing it there.

I have a diary. I mean a physical diary that I use to keep information like my seed phrase. I still trust saving it offline more.

I am writing the seed phase on paper for most of the wallets which I have, though most wallets do not have any crypto in them, they were created only for review.

I used to write on paper but these days I write on my phone note pad. My phone is biometric locked, so no one can access it.

Yes I Write it down: Always write my seed phrase on paper Never store it digitally where it could be vulnerable to hacking

Nope, I wouldn't recommend paper. Use a secure method, like a hardware wallet or encrypted digital storage.
