Hi everyone,
I have memorized my seed phrase. This struck me as a crucial security measure, especially in a space where personal responsibility for security is paramount.
However, I’ve noticed that this doesn’t seem to be a common practice among my peers and in the broader Ethereum community. This got me wondering: why is memorizing your seed phrase not as widespread as I expected?
Is it due to the fear of forgetting it, or do most people rely on other forms of secure backups? Perhaps it’s the complexity of the phrases or a general lack of awareness about how effective this method can be?
I’m curious to hear your thoughts and experiences. Do you memorize your seed phrase? If not, what are your preferred methods for secure storage? Let’s discuss the pros and cons of this approach and share best practices for ensuring the safety of our digital assets.
Looking forward to your insights!
Memory is a crazy thing. You can memorise great strings of text and numbers if you use them almost everyday/week. You can even memorise an entire song, ten or a hundred, and sing them by heart after years of not hearing them. Maybe you will miss a word or two, but hey, it’s a whole damn song! But what if the song was just gibberish? What if it was just 20 something random words? Do you listen to those random words everyday? Say them out loud? Sing them to yourself? Guess I’ll wait for you to tell us how that’s going for you in a year or two.
I remember most of Lemon Demon’s Word Disassociation and I haven’t heard it in 15 years. It’s a funny thing with music that aids in memory.
