That’s a smart approach to safeguarding your crypto seed phrase! By splitting the 24 words into three parts and creating multiple copies, you’re adding an extra layer of security. Let’s break down the process:
Divide the Seed Phrase:
- You start with a 24-word seed phrase (usually generated when setting up a crypto wallet).
- Split these words into three equal parts, each containing 8 words.
Create Copies:
- Print two copies of each part. So, you’ll have a total of six copies (two for each part).
- Store these copies in different secure locations, as you mentioned (office, home, sister’s house, etc.).
Security Benefits:
- If two copies are stolen or compromised, the thief won’t have access to the full seed phrase.
- They would need all three parts to reconstruct the complete phrase.
- Even if one location is damaged (e.g., due to fire), you still have other locations to recover from.
Remember to keep these copies safe and confidential. Avoid sharing them with anyone who doesn’t need access to your crypto holdings. Additionally, consider using fireproof and waterproof storage options for added protection. 😊
