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?
Gmail accounts are easier to hack than writing down your wallet keys somewhere offline, for the fact that Gmail works online 24/7, makes it a very bad place to keep important private keys and recovery seeds, if you are still thinking of doing such, erase the idea off your mind, if you can't afford to buy a hardware wallet then download Electrum wallet and write down your recovery phrase in a book, scared that books might get burnt or damage? Carve the words on steel, like stainless steel.
