Use:
- Phoenix (least funds)
- Zeus (more funds)
- Sparrow hot wallet for mixing with whirlpool (more funds)
- Passport (most funds)
plus
Steel plates (Disperse secrets over geographically divergent places.)
For passphrases I keep all of them in my password manager. Each password let's me have a different wallet for a different purpose. I keep ZERO funds on wallets with no passphrase.

Better to keep some funds on no-passphrase wallet, so you get notified immediately in case of breach, and have enough time to securely transfer your passphrase funds.

Um password manager on-line? If so that is a big no no and easy way to lose all you sats!

If someone get's access to my password manager, there are no seed words. So how am I losing the sats?
Do you not understand that the attacker has to physically compromise my safe AND virtually compromise my password manager? The password manager only has passphrases in it.

Unprotected? Do you publicly display your 24 words? 24 words etched on steel is extremely secure.
Some small amount like 100 bucks could potentially save your stack. Standard practice. Also could serve as a decoy wallet, in case of $5 wrench attack. Although I’d put a bit more, to make it believable.
Otherwise somebody theoretically could already have your seed, and has been working on brute forcing your passphrase.
Nice set up. I need steel plates as well my old paper is showing age!
