You have wallets or currency on exchanges. You wrote out some strings of words and have your passwords saved somewhere safe, two factor set up everywhere possible. Life is good. You're sure that if you lost you phone or if someone broke into your house and stole your computers, no one else could access your accounts and wallets.
But could you?
Make some time to test your own security. Imagine or recreate a situation where you can't access your usual devices. Will you be able to get your authenticators running again? How will you get your wallets up again?
"Your keys, your crypto" is comforting, and knowing how to use the scribbled notes in your safe is far better than just vaguely knowing you could. In a test you might discover that something is missing, or you can't read your own handwriting.
You never think it'll happen to you, but better to be safe than sorry.
Edit1: i think this is the first time automod let a post of mine through! Congrats moon farmers, I'm upvoting every reply here.
Edit2: to everyone saying thanks for the advice, you're welcome. I hope this thread can actually save at least one person from preventable loss. For people saying they've lost access before and wish they had done this sooner, that fucking sucks and I'm sorry to hear. Thanks for admitting it here, maybe it will inspire some people to test and beef up their setups.
Edit3: Never had a reddit award before. How exciting! Thank you. :)
