Awesome?
Sometimes if a key gets revoked, you can refer back to find out what the key was and where & when you got it so you may make a claim with the store or the publisher or the game for replacement. (The original store may not longer exist, or purge keys of old orders, or you may have lost the email, etc.)

Or maybe write them on a piece of paper as well?
Edit: Forgot about modern technology. Print out the text file :D
Somehow this just gave me a flashback to a Star LC-10 24 (?) printing out a friends dissertation for hours and people eventually going deaf or mad ...

Yeah, I use Excel as well. If I used a TXT file, I couldn't do any fancy color-coding or formatting!

I'm actually using it to store a few keys... Could be used to store many, many keys if you dedicated your setup to this (which I don't, I use it "normally" and just have one entry for keys, which is messy but works for me)
Edit: of course, my KeePass database is backed up using my usual backup services

Oh no my HDD burned and all my keys with it!
I never heard of things like USB drive or external drive, or never heard of Google drive or clouds.
I know!
I will create an App that will save the keys on new HDD but that App will need Internet login and Internet connection to access your files on your PC, but if your next HDD will burn you will have this great App to log in to the files on your burned HDD to get your keys that I would never ever save on my PC to use them for trading because I'm a trader but it is hard to keep my keys in one place to use them.
This App will 100% not be a scam to steal other peoples keys! I know this because the friend that created it told me so!
Now I only need to find a place to advertise it and link my badly made youtube video! Oh I remember being on some site called SG 3 years ago for 1 month!

I use excel/notepad for various gaming notes but also boxcryptor to encrypt them before back up and syncing on google drive. It's great.

I'm sorry but I haven't heard in my life that an HDD will burn, maybe only if you pour gas on it and set it on fire.

The best way is to create a post here and paste all your keys here. That will keep them save forever!

and if you use notepad++ instead of regular, it autosaves all the time!

Your app is wonderful! I have tried it and I no longer have to bother with creating those annoying GAs. I can see in your account, that you were kind enough to create all of them for me. Could you, please, also immediately mark those keys as "used", to avoid any confusion? Thank you :)

I use a password-protected and encrypted Excel spreadsheet, where I also keep status on used keys (but just hide them after they're used so I have them for historical purposes). I save them in a private, secure folder on OneDrive so they're always backed up to the cloud.

I use a text file like this to store unused keys, but I put the file in an encrypted 7zip file. I just open it in 7zip, type the password, and can edit it. Then exit notepad and 7zip prompts me to update the modified txt file in the 7zip archive.

I just found out an amazing way to store your keys safely.
Go to your desktop -> Right Click -> Go to New -> Text Document
That's it! You'll never loose them this way, just don't forget to save it.
Of course, you can still loose them if you format your hard drive, suffer a ransomware attack, or delete it by accidente. I guess you could do a cloud save or use google docs but I've heard Google steals your steam keys.
So why don't you use my totally harmless app? it will safely store your keys on my private server. I promise I won't look at them and you don't have to worry about hackers, they have only stole my passwords twice, I think I've learned the lesson.
