You are not getting it.  A seed phrase is not a password - its the master key to your whole crypto stash.  Equating it to a banking login misses how dangerous it is.  A password manager keeps all your different logins handy so you can easily use websites and stuff.  But I dont really see why you would save a seed phrase in there when you barely ever need it, if at all.


That is completely dependent on the value of your own bitcoin versus the value of your bank account.
If you have a million US dollars in you bank account but only a thousand dollars worth of bitcoin in your wallet,
then having your bank account hacked is much more dangerous.

Your approach introduces a single point of failure that is entirely avoidable. Dont store your seed phrase online, period. Its not "an option worth considering"; its a major security flaw.


No it doesn'tI disagree. Which is why I advisedsuggested using multipleat least two layers of security including passphrases, encrypted files,
2 factor authentication, etc. If one layer ever fails you are still protected by the others.
So there has to be multiple points of failure before anyone can access your bitcoin.

I would argue storing your private key in a physical location can be considered a single point of failure.
Because if you lose it or it is stolen, or it is destroyed by a natural or man-made disaster, then there is not
much you can do to get it back.
