Thank you for the information. Despite the fact that I have been using TrustWallet and didn't realize this when I downloaded it, I will now be cautious when recommending it to others. However, I would advise you to save your security information on your email rather than writing it down to prevent it from being lost or invalidated when you're not around.

Hi Ethan, thanks for the reply, now listen to me, no security information is saved when you store them in your email, I dare you to do some diggings on Email scams and see yourself, no single email is safe from scammers, if they want something in that email the chances of getting it is very high, it is not very different from Sim card swap scams too.

They all have one thing in common, online aka the internet, if you can keep your security informations offline you have neutralized 80% of possible getting leaked, and the remaining 20% is what we can all live with, and that's by guiding the informations yourself, better than letting someone else  or something else do it for you.
Offline is the present peace of mind and security, I don't trust anything that have been hosted by the Internet and just as you spelt out the obvious fact, making a wallet backup on cloud storage is like posting your secrets phrase on a social media, there is no security and there is no privacy, because the owner of the app who is at the back end know almost everything you thought he may not and can use your information at anytime.
Even for best security you should change or use different password on any new site or apps you use that demands for password and email the real hacking starts from there.


Trust wallet is not an option for me this is because of it association with binance I don't know how the public claim's are with binance ownership, but still on that trust wallet is also centralized for my liking so I don't use them and even if I do I rather write my wallet keys down or even snap it and have it saved offline
