Say you’ve backed up your seed phrase on a steel plate. How do you or is there anyway to back up a passphrase physically?
Single sig + a passphrase is basically a really shitty version of a 2 of 2 multsig.
...and 2 of 2 is a really shitty secret configuration: 2 of 3 is wayyyyy better because you can tolerate the loss of one of your secrets (or more with decaying timelocks so you can redeem with 1 of 3 after, say, a year).
Example
or here - write a nice letter to your mother: #1260936
My next move will be put mine online so some how I could get it back if I will be in a SHTF situation.
Just save on a USB like this a bunch of cats pictures or your family holiday trip.
Each picture could contain 1 word embedded with steganography.
Absolutely nobody will think that a meaningless funny USB with a bunch of cats pics is in fact a backup of your wallets.
good tip.
I already have a lot of USB wallet, time to test than upgrade.
but in a situation where I have nothing with me I will could get my info online.
I like to travel with a hidden USB memory into a voodoo relic like this.
Nobody dare to touch it :)
hahaha now anyone will avoid you when they see you wearing this relic on the belt of your pants
Much better to travel with a stupid USB than a coldcard hanging from your neck...
One copy of the USB stays hidden in the dark, one to travel, one to your mother, just in case...
very resilient to a $5 wrench attack
If they see you with a hello kitty USB maybe they will give you some sats :)
If I see 12 hello kitty USBs in a bag, imma get mighty suspicious

If you plan on storing them separately, why not make a couple physical written (pencil on paper) copies of them and store in distributed locations?
Safe deposit box, trusted family member, and perhaps one other location.
I dont understand multisig enough to upgrade my hodl in a way that my hard bank seeds, multi 4-5 maybe, are separated physically.
A twenty four word passphrase on another steel plate.
what if the passphrase has none alphabet or numeric characters
The one place where no one will ever look
Doesn't matter, as long as they are geographically dispersed.
Hyyyyypotetically speaking, asking for a friend!
paper many copies spread many places
Treat it like the seed itself: stamp it on ITS OWN steel plate, somewhere nobody would ever connect to plate #1. Same threat model — fire, water, no paper. The part people skip isn't the material, it's the SEPARATION. Same room, same house even, and the passphrase stops doing its job.
