Yesterday, my mom did a general cleaning on my room and when she's done, I saw the recovery phrase of my Trezor hardware wallet on the garbage can which I placed on my computer table, I also have that same copy on my wallet but still can't stop myself to tremble in fear to lose that piece of paper. I didn't told her about it to avoid more argument because she wouldn't still understand what it is. This is what I've been scared about when people say to write your recovery phrases on a piece of paper instead of storing it online.
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?
I don't think it is safe to tell the exact place where people keeps their seed phrases on paper. Just think if someone here personally knows you and you shared here where you've been hiding these phrases, if ever he/she wants to steal something from you, he/she will have very good clues/hints where to look at.
So better think about it yourself on which place is the best place to hide these papered seed phrases.
