Storing Your Seed Phrase (give me a better idea, I beg)

Obviously, there are a lot of opinions on how to store your seed phrase. It’s a general fact that taking a screenshot or keeping it in a file (probably named “seed phrase”) is a a bad idea, because a lot of software scans for that type of stuff.

Some people write down their seed phrase on paper. Nice and secure right? Old school, no one can hack it. But then if you loose it or there’s a fire, there goes your crypto. To solve that, I actually have it written down and stored on two separate pieces of paper in two different houses. But even then, people say it decays over time, I’ve heard stories of the ink running and blurring to the point it was unreadable and their crypto was lost.

Some have a better idea. Carve it into a slab of metal. Fire proof, water proof, generally wear and tear proof. Good luck destroying that. But not gonna lie that sounds expensive and where do I even go for that?

I’ve come up with an idea that I’m not sure is great at all, but beyond carving it into a block of literal metal idk what else there is. What about an unmarked file (password protected) that contains a paragraph or long-ass sentence. You memorise that every x words makes up your seed phrase, so to anyone else it just looks like junk and there’s no way to know it’s a seed OR the combo.

Anyway yeah just rambling, if that’s a bad idea tell me now before I do it lol
