I’m planning on getting a hardware wallet for better security, but one part of that which concerns me is backing up my seed phrase. I know I can back it up onto a dedicated metal card which is my plan, but I feel uncomfortable with the idea that my seed phrase is just sitting in my house or something out in the open.

I know it’s not advisable to store your seed phrase in a password manager, but I was thinking I could split the seed phrase up and put part in my password manager and part on the physical backup? Something along those lines? I just want to make sure that there isn’t a single place where someone would have to compromise, but instead they’d have to compromise both my digital and physical spaces.

Has anyone who has the same concerns come up with a good solution that works for them? Would love to hear about it.

    Huh, that’s an interesting idea. I’ve heard of using the book as a cypher before but I always thought an issue was keeping track of the exact copy of the book. Using a digital copy makes a lot of sense for that, thanks!

    Is the deposit box expensive? Do you find it worth it?
