I would like to know how others keep these secret phrases if the people in your house are not really knowledgeable in crypto. Would it be safe if I store it online but the file is encrypted and password protected?
As far away as possible from the eyes of the people in your house, even if you leave alone, leaving a piece of paper containing the key to your funds in careless, what if visitors come, and if we take you to be a complete loner with no friends or acquaintances and no possibility of visitors, what about visitors that need no invitation, now i'm talking about robbers, burglars, they might just target you only to take a few dollars from you, without even knowing you own a satoshi, then they hit a jackpot and find your seed phrase on your table for the taking.

A piece of paper is not bad, a book or booklet is much better though, or you keep the piece of paper somewhere it can't be found or damaged, and only you know where that is in your home.

TL,DR Just keep it to you only.
