Ask HN: How do you backup your private keys?

1 points by xcambar ↗ HN
Hi HN, I am curious about the many simple/unexpected/fun/convoluted/bizarre strategies members of this community are using to backup their personal private keys.

Think SSH, GPG, Keepass key files...

Mine is simple: in a USB stick, stored with random stuff in the attic.

What's yours?

keepassxc vault and ssh keys live in an AES-256 encrypted archive on multiple media which is a complex way of saying I periodically zip them up and put them on a memory stick, I don't hide the memory sticks because you can't mount them without a LUKS password that's in my head.

Nothing convoluted about it, plug in memory stick, enter password, run script, unmount volume chuck in bowl next to PC.
