Do others have access to your crypto wallets?

If you have a crypto wallet, does anyone else have access to it? Maybe a friend, family member, or boss/employer? Or someone else? I don't have a crypto wallet myself, but if I did I wouldn't let anyone have access to my info. Maybe just my brother and close family, but I wouldn't reveal my details to anyone else. Would you let anyone you know and trust access one of your crypto wallets?

I have mobile wallets and also web wallets as well that I have access to. I am the only one who has access to these and have not given anyone else access to them at the moment as I have not needed to.

I guess if I had a desktop wallet I would those in my home would have access but I doubt they would choose to as they do not understand it.

My mother has a copy where she has my seed phrase written down on paper, only she has a copy and she could access my crypto wallet if something happened to me, I don't think I would give my seed phrase to anyone else for now, since I know she is the person I can trust the most.

My brother is the only one who knows everything about my cryptocurrency wallets to be able to access it just in case anything happens. This is very hold decision because whenever you're no longer there to access your cryptocurrency portfolio, it's as good as lost if no one knows how to access it. Even though I don't have billions in my assests, I won't want it gone to cryptocurrency deadland should I not be here tomorrow.

It is the best thing you can do, if you have full confidence in your brother, it is always better that someone else has your seed phrases in case something happens to you, imagine that all your funds are revalued enough in the future and no one in your family can take advantage of the fruit of your work built in life.

I have complete confidence and trust in my brother. He's got an excellent character and is always reliable at all times. It's because of how good he is that made our father hand over everything about the family's business and finances. My cryptocurrency seed phrases are in good care with him. I have absolutely nothing to worry about.

That's it, it is almost the same as sharing your bank details to someone, if you do not have full confidence in the person, we already know that it can happen, I would only leave my seed keys to my mother, not even my wife (if I had it) I would leave my seed phrases, since a relationship can be broken at any time and resentment can lead to many things.

Some women can be erratic with how they behave in some certain things, so it's well understandable to be very careful dealing with them and knowing what you give them access to especially when you can't guarantee how they are going to behave. Prevention is better than cure, it's in this kind of situation that the phrase is correct by all means.

After hearing stories how some persons lost their cryptocurrency because they died with no one knowing their login details, I wouldn't want to experience the same. I had to tell my mother everything about mine. I have every saved on a drive and told her to give it to my son whenever he's an adult.

But you can always give your cryptographic data (Seed phrases) to a trusted person in your family in case one day something happened to you, such as your mother, brother or others, because if something happened to you, your cryptos would be lost forever, there have been many cases where millions of dollars in crypto have been lost for things like that.

The most important thing is for you to find someone you can trust with your cryptocurrency asset. Even if it's your mother, you need another person to know because cryptocurrency is not like bank. Any of your family members can go to your bank and claim your assets when you're no longer alive but with cryptocurrency, if they don't have access or knowledge to your seed keys, it's lost.

Well, I am quite sure that not many people would like others to have access to their wallets. However, they may be fine with their family members having access to their wallets. The main problem here is that you may know a lot about cryptocurrency wallets, but your loved ones may never know how sensitive this issue is. If your loved ones share cryptocurrency seed keys with other unknowingly, then you could be in big trouble.

My mother is not tech savvy and even if I give her access to my wallets, she might not know how to use it. My spouse can access my devices and if she wants she can access my Binance, Kucoin, and Coinbase wallet. However, she will have to ask me for access PIN if she wants to move my assets.

Well, my mother is not savvy when it comes to technology either, but I taught her how to use cryptocurrencies myself, and then I gave her my seed phrase in case something happened to me, it is important that someone you trust must have access to your assets, in your case, your wife is a good option because if something happens to you, your assets could be lost forever.

At first I was very worried about the fact that I might lose access to my wallet, so I gave access to my relatives, but then I realized that it is impossible to hack an account on the exchange because there is two-factor authentication, so now my accounts are only mine, and I only have fear for what they can steal my phone)
