On the occasion of what a colleague of the local forum said, and that I translate to you:

I mentioned not long ago how a friend of mine lost half a Bitcoin by saving it in a wallet on his cell phone, and since he opened it with his fingerprint, he didn't think it was necessary to copy the seed, not even the wallet's password. Until some update asked him for the password and he is still looking for a way to find it out.

I wanted to ask you if you know of similar cases in recent years.

We all know that in the early years a lot of bitcoins were lost because they were worth pennies, most people didn't even imagine where this could go, there was no HW and things like that. But even though the bitcoin loss rate has been reduced in the last years I am sure there will still be human errors like the one in the quote that will end up with bitcoin loss, which is not bad for the rest because as Satoshi said they are like a donation.

Do you know of similar cases?

God so the money is gone?

Well when you created an address almost all of wallet will send a notice to us to save the seed phrase because we can recover any coin if we lose the seed phrase even tho you have the fingerprint on your phone. the fingerprint and face id only work for additional security

Yes dear dansus, but it seems that he didn't think it was important to store it anywhere, and he simply threw it away as soon as he created the wallet. As we said, that's a total newbie mistake, but an expensive one in this case, so we will never repeat enough times the importance of saving one's seed/passphrase in a safe place.
