Like, not having to verify an address before hitting the send button. It doesn’t matter if the address was scanned from a bar code or was a copy and paste. You still should verify certain characters else, you don’t get a chance to revoke.
Copy and paste is far more dangerous than even the QR/barcode, because with bar code you are actually not that at risk except the code was alter and that’s not from you or a malware on your device changes the address which is not common, but this copy and paste malware is the most common, usually the address of the scammer could even be vanity address with the prefixes or suffices still the same.
Even though it’s best never to make mistake on addresses I think the RBF feature now actually helps to correct this mistake if found out immediately before any confirmation, you simply replace the transaction back to your own address or the right address
If you want to store your information safely, go with a hard drive and make use of it;
It should also be noted that the hard drive should never be connected to an online device also this hard drives can wear out or get damaged easily that’s why offline alternatives like stainless steels or it’s likes are the most advised
