 - A seed phrase stored in the cloud is the worst idea you can have, it can be a google worker for example.
- A seed phrase without passphase is the second worst idea you can have.
- A weak passphrase is the third worst idea you can have.
- A multi-signature is the fourth worst idea you can have if you don't know what you are doing.

But the worst idea is to use shitcoins and wallets that don't care about security.

And always use wallets recommended on Bitcoin.org as they follow a rigorous screening process to be listed and don't use shitcoins to store your wealth.

 Dumb question probably but in Sparrow, when I want to open my wallet and am asked a password, is this the pass phrase or is it different?
I'm confused on this topic because I've read things such as: "Adding a passphrase to a seedphrase will generate a new seedphrase".
But if that's the case, wouldn't you just have another seedphrase without a passphrase? 😑 
 In sparrow the password you are asked is the application password not the passphrase. 
 I like how they didn't take the NFT's 

Just for fun

 I had the PIN for my bank card stolen the other day. So I went to the local branch to get a new one.

Hum.

Maybe I should get into Bitcoin just to bring a bit of drama into my boring life. Involves biting your fingernails all the time just watching that number go up and down too. 
 I like the idea of a complex passphrase but I don't trust myself to remember it as I age, regardless of how many times I repeat it to myself. 🤷
