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!

    True that constant review is necessary. I used the method where you imagine the words in different places in your house and you imagine walking around the house looking at the words to recall them. It works very well except that it does require periodic review, which means keeping the phrase handy to verify your memory… which defeats the purpose of having it memorized.
