I hope you don't forget what those abbreviations means one day because it will be very hard for you to recover your account unless there is a way to reset your password for you to create a new one. I use one password I have been using for the past 7 years for all my accounts set up.
Actually i have tried using one password but some apps require only 6-7 characters as password and some require up to 9 characters while others like g-mail will complain of password being "too weak" until i write my great grand father's name

I know about these passwords requirements for long when I started using passwords, so I did my very best to create a password that covers all these requirements so I can use one password all over in all my accounts.

Once you are familiar with cryptocurrency wallets , you should also know that private key or seed phrase are the most important aspect of cryptocurrency wallets.

Just as one can't open his door with the key to the door , so it is with cryptocurrency wallet.
The private keys are the only way one can access his wallet , especially when installing a new wallet .

This is why it is important for us to write our private key on a sheet of paper ,where only us can access .

Saving Private keys as screenshot is not quite encouraged ,as it will put the wallet in danger of being hacked by apps that have access to our gallery .
Absolutely a private keys are very important to keep wallet safe and secure One of the best ways to keep wallet secure should its phrase keys put down on a notebook so from this way Your wallet gets secure and easy to access.

I can never forget how I lost my trust wallet then because I forgot my key. I didn't even know the value then. I only thought it is for security purpose only and I didn't even keep it. And I know many would have been in my shoes as well before. We just have to becareful when it comes to cryptocurrencies.

Yeah the note book should also be kept somewhere safe ,because of someone who is knowledgeable in cryptocurrency finds it , he can steal your money. Alternative method is to rearrange some positions ,so that one can't easily get the combination.

Saving your private key in a very safe place is very important because it is essentially the only backup that you have to your wallet. There are many people that choose to actually print it out and keep it within their safe. It is important that you don't have the private key on the same device as the actual wallet because if your device is hacked the hacker will have access to both of these. It is best to keep this safe in an offline location.

You have said it all, you can't talk of. Secure wallet without talking about private keys or nemonics words.. I love the concept that it makes you have total control of your coin and wallet, no one have access to it, even the owners of the wallet. But this most be kept well, otherwise your coin will be stolen.

Sorry about your painful experience . Indeed $30 loss is something big. I think it has also taught you the lesson of how important cryptocurrency wallets are ,and why we need to always keep their private keys safe .

The security of crypto wallets will depend on us how to store passwords, private keys and passphrases, this is very important, recorded separately (offline), so that it will be safe from hackers, the private key will also be useful as an import and export address for supported wallets.

It is a big issue maybe you have listened some person forget his private keys and he lost millions of dollars.
When we are making a private wallet we should write the keys and laminated the cover so that our key will be safe.

Sometimes when you don't do something, life immediately gives you a lesson . Not only storing my private key , now i also store my data of financial work in written instead of digital which i like very well now.

Glad you are taking this step towards securing your financial work , but isn't it difficult for you to hand write your financial work ? , Even if you prefer it to be in hard copy , you can type it and then print it out , it will be faster.

I remember, I was watching a youtube video, and the creator mentioned that everyone should write down the seed phrase in a paper or somewhere you can keep it safe. I personally just copy and paste it on my notes. But recently, my notes got deleted though I never delete it, I guess I must have clicked something. Fortunately, I don't have anything on that platform that contains that platform.

The private key, other side called seed phrase by some Cryptocurrency websites is indeed and in fact more important than the Cryptocurrency itself. this is because should you make any mistake, all your funds are gone. therefore we should always save our private keys in a very secured place not even as a picture on gallery

A Wallet Address can only be used to make transactions into such wallet, so it's safe to share with other people for them to make a transfer to your wallet. On the other hand, your Private Key is the set of numbers and letters that allows you to access your wallet.

As you said you can't open a closed door without a key, do you need key to open a door. Those Wallet key is for the security of the wallet itself. Incase you lost your wallet, you can use those keys to retrieve them back. The main function of those keys is for protection of your coins

Cryptocurrency has private and public keys that are important. But I Talk to private key, in the context of cryptocurrency as Bitcoin is a secret number that allows bitcoins to be spent. Every Bitcoin wallet contains one or more private keys, which are saved in the wallet file.The private keys are actually relation with all Bitcoin addresses generated for the wallet of cryptocurrency.
