From AI: Safe Crypto Wallets to Memorize Seed Phrases

It is not safe to memorize the seed phrase for any crypto wallet. While memorization is a possible method, it is considered highly risky and is not recommended by security experts. The primary reason is that people are prone to forgetting information, especially complex sequences like a 12 or 24-word seed phrase, particularly if they manage multiple wallets. Forgetting the seed phrase means permanent loss of access to the associated cryptocurrency, as there is no recovery option provided by the wallet or platform. The security of a seed phrase relies on its secrecy and the ability to retrieve it when needed, which memorization cannot reliably guarantee. Therefore, the safest practice is to write down the seed phrase on paper and store it in secure, offline locations, such as a safe or a safe deposit box.

Better yet: memorize your seed AND keep a secured hard copy just in case.

Genius! I view the scenario of the FBI comes to raid your house. I don’t want them to be able to find my seed phrase, but after they leave, and take me away to a jail for 10 years, I want to be able to come back buy a new hardware, wallet, and gain access to my funds again.
