I have wondered for long, if there is anyway to recover my private keys when they get lost or when I don't remember them. Someone advised me to use Gmail and store them as mails then I taught again, what if my Gmail gets hacked. Is this actually the best way to store them or is there any other ways I can store or Keep them safe?
If you forget your private key, there is no way to get your wallet back. The only thing you need to open your wallet and keep it secure is your private key. Although many people use Gmail to maintain their accounts, we really don't advise it for cryptocurrency because anyone may still access your account if they want. If you hold tokens, I advise using MyEtherWallet; however, if you hold bitcoin, I advise Electrum because I haven't had any problems losing money with it.
