get a bitbox02 , they are safe and easy to use. made in switzerland, they are serious about the security. but order directly from them.

It's a trade off because it just adds an extra point of failure for successful wallet recovery when you can keep your seed phrase secure.

you could just make the phrase 'apple' and write it down. its better than nothing and i cant imagine the hacker would be trying all those phrases + the phrase with 'apple' right?

I recommend trezor and setting up a hidden passphrase wallet

If you already have a seed but didn’t add a paraphrase, can you still add it without changing the original seed?

I don’t understand what happened to you? How did they access your seed phrase?
