What I meant to say is I take a picture of it using an old phone that is never connected to the internet.
Writing seeds on paper is dumb. I don't even have paper anymore so what am I supposed to do.

At least download openkeychain pgp and encrypt the seed (asymmetric or symmetric encryption), or compress the photo in a 7zip format with a password.
It's too many passwords. The phone already has a password on it. So why do I need to go even farther and put another password on it. I'm not going to remember the password or if I lose it then I'm screwed.
I zipped a seed in the past and then put it in my email and forgot the password then I found a copy of the seed without a password. That saved me.
That was a total of 3 passwords. Computer, email and zip. I did it because people told me. I think that's too much security.
How do people with a lot of Bitcoin keep it safe? Do they really secure it with that many passwords? I'd be stressed out if I had a lot of Bitcoin.
So what happens if your home burns down tomorrow?
Consider working on your opsec.
