bereajoy:Password management best practices

 Whether you choose a single password that decrypts your entire Wallet or multiple auto-generated 12-word passphrases corresponding to each wallet in your Bitcoin.com Wallet, it's essential that you adhere to password management best practices.

Firstly, you should never store your passwords in digital form, as doing so opens you up to the possibility of having them stolen by hackers. This includes taking screenshots or digital photos of your handwritten passwords.
For most people, the best strategy is to physically write down the password/passphrases on a piece of paper and store that paper somewhere safe. If the crypto assets in your Wallet are worth a lot, you'll want to (manually) make copies of the paper, and store those copies in separate locations (eg. one at your house, one at a family member's house).
While all of this may sound a little complex, it's important to remember why it's so important: when you use a non-custodial wallet, you - and you alone - are in control of your funds.
Note that for manual backups, anyone with the passphrase can gain access to your wallet (and steal the assets in it) while for the cloud backup service, you have an extra layer of protection because an attacker will need to first get into your Google or Apple account, then enter the additional master password you created. If you set up your Google or Apple account with 2-Factor Authentication, you're making it very difficult for a hacker.
