  Another alternative is to use a paper wallet. A paper wallet is a physical printout of your private keys, which can be generated offline. It provides a completely offline storage solution, as long as you keep the printout safe and away from potential physical threats. However, it's important to note that paper wallets can be easily lost or damaged, so proper precautions should be taken.
