I am thinking not only about security from brute forcing. Complexity also makes it more difficult to remember or to restore for your heirs 🤔
That’s why i am thinking about this atm. Short and easy could also be an advantage if you yourself forget it and have to brute force it
And that's why I said it's all about how much you care.
Hard to decide 😅 it’s a pretty new concept to me
Not really. My grandmother kept paper copies of all her accounts and assets. When she spoke to agents on the phone she would bring in a folder with numbers the agents requires for her. Now you just need to punch that shit into a steel plate and read them off, 12 to 24 words at a time. Or multi-sign with a thumbprint or passphrase. Which some people do today. You don't have to remember the words, you could remember a passcode. My grandma used a key, physical not logical.

Don't let your seed anywhere near an internet connected device.
You should have something airgapped like a cold card as a minimum.
I used galvanized washers for my seed. You can connect them together with a bolt. This is fire and future proof. Make sure your nut, bolt, and washers are made of the same material to minimize electrolysis.
The washer set up cost me about $12 and is far more fire resistant than the plates you can get online.
The passphrase is what really matters.
If you have a significant amount. Multisig is the only way to go that makes sense.
2/3 cold wallets must be there to send funds.
All 3 wallets should have a passphrase, and be stored in different locations.
Stamp all 3 seed phrases onto different washer set ups.
Stamp the pass phrasesi on one washer and keep that hidden.
Keep a small amount of bitcoin in each seed phrase wallet, and seed phrase+pass phrase wallet to satisfy thief's in case of theft or 5$ wrench attack, this will keep your primary stack safe.
Never talk about your stack.
Opsec will keep you safe.
Yes, for absolutely critical things, I would go for shorter 4-5 words passwords. They are easy to remember and still have high complexity = entropy.
For regular websites/services one could use a password manager like Bitwarden, Keepass, Enpass, etc.
Funny. Just downloaded bitwarden 😅 but not reallzusing it since i don’t understand yet how far it can be trusted… since it stores all my passwords in the cloud 🤔
Bitwarden doesn’t have to be trusted at all if you run your own vaultwarden on your node. This is gonna be your cloud then 😉
You mean 4-5 words or characters? 🤔
If you are absolutely paranoid like some of us here and still want to have your passwords written down somewhere, you may use Shamir Secret Sharing Scheme (SSSS) to encrypt your passwords and split the encrypted pieces at different safe locations.
Heard about that, want to look into that too
Download the web page and use it offline to encrypt and split your passwords.
Bookmarked 💪
