After spending so much time on crypto now you must know that keeping fund on crypto exchanges are not safe. So you can ask to any crypto expert that what is the best place to store crypto, he/she would answer trezor or ledger wallet.

So let's say you bought hardware wallet so when you setup your account you have to remember the recovery seed which is 12 or 24 random words. It is also called seed phrase or recovery key so don't be confused.

So whenever you will loss your wallet then you can access your crypto by using this key. You should take the backups of your hardware wallet right now.

Best thing i can suggest that is take a pen and paper and write it. Now don't suggest me to write this key in digital notepad app or any document writing app. Because it is easily hackable. So write it physically in the paper.

As well as also don't use dropbox or any cloud storage place. Our some experts use gmail drafts to save the private keys and recovery seed.

I can give you one more good idea and i have suggested this already in my many previous posts. Use brand new USB pendrive and do not add other things in that pendrive except keys and passwords. You can save your recovery seed in this pendrive.
