Secure keys with glacier protocol.

Here are the things people with more than a little bit of money do: https://glacierprotocol.org/

Alternatively, you could take the probabilistic approach and assume that x number of hardware manufacturers are not in on a ploy to steal your money, which is the approach detailed in the Glacier protocol security guide: https://glacierprotocol.org/

At this moment, most "non- reliant on a 3rd party" and secure way to do this is the Glacier Protocol (https://glacierprotocol.org) - but it is extremely complicated for most users and impractical for not large amounts of money (less than $100,000 equivalent)

And here's a very verbose security guide to help you think about when you might want to use some of these things. https://glacierprotocol.org/

You can use this guide to see what's best, but I just bought some stainless steel plates and engrave them myself. https://jlopp.github.io/metal-bitcoin-storage-reviews/

Okay, so now, how about the availability of the information. Is your seed phrase on your device of choice acceptably available to you? How about if your house was broken into? How about if your house burned down? Consider all the things that could harm the availability of your seed phrase to you, without sacrificing the confidentiality of that information. A steel plate that can survive a house fire https://jlopp.github.io/metal-bitcoin-storage-reviews/ can increase your availability, but does it sacrifice confidentiality? How about if its kept in a safe? How about, geodispursed mutli-sig with steel plates that are also geographically dispersed? Its a good trade off between availability and confidentiality and you can read more about it here: https://glacierprotocol.org/docs/overview/multi-signature-security/

If you want true cold storage then best option would be generate a wallet offline. Make note of the seed phrase. Check this seed phrase is correct and can recover the wallet! Then backup seed on steel hardware like a cryptosteel or other method of your choice from this list. https://jlopp.github.io/metal-bitcoin-storage-reviews/
