I do not backup my wallet password because it is not necessary. If I forget the password, I can import the seed phrase and set another password of my choice. The important things that we advice people not to memorize but to backup are:
- the seed phrase
- passphrase
If either the seed phrase or the passphrase backup is lost, the coins on the addresses generated by the wallet is lost. That is why it is good to backup the seed phrase (and the passphrase). If passphrase is included, it is better to backup both differently in different locations.
That's right, I do the same thing. I don't understand the need (somewhere) to store the password, if in this case it is more important to store not the password, but 12/24 words of seed-phrases. After all, in case you lose your password, you will be able to recover it with the help of a (recorded by you) seed-phrase. Generally, in my understanding (backups) are the most insecure kind of preservation possible. In case your device is hacked, it will be easier for the fraudster to know your secret words.
P.S. It's entirely up to each individual what to do and how to do it. But in my understanding, everything you save on computers/phones is as unsafe as possible. Many articles (on safety) say that it is better to avoid this method.
I agree with you that backing up your seed phrase and pass phrase ie enough for one to have access to his bitcoin, when his password has been forgotten. However, there is nothing bad to write down your password for the prevention of importing seed phrase, but of course we are human and there is no guarantee that we will not have issues that will lead us to unforseen circumstances, that we will not be able to access our wallet. This is why the seed phrase is the best to keep safe and backed up because, you will see have full control of that wallet, which the password is no more, otherwise your bitcoin will stay locked in your wallet address forever. No bitcoin is lost, this is because after 20yrs,if the password is seen or remembered, or the seed phrase is seen and imported to another wallet, you will have access to those bitcoin.
