Back Up Your Secret Phrase
Your Secret phrase is your account.
It is essential that you keep your Secret Phrase in a safe place at all times — losing it means losing access to your funds. We also strongly suggest that you never store your Secret Phrase online, as this is an unnecessary risk of leaking it to the outside world. Store it physically, e.g. on a piece of paper, and hide it in a safe place that only you have access to.
Although JSON files are a popular way to store your accounts when migrating from one wallet/extension to another, JSON files are not a time-proof way to store your accounts. If you forget the password associated to your JSON files and you don't have a Secret Phrase for those accounts, you will no longer be able access those funds. Therefore, you must keep your Secret Phrase safely locked away offline alongside any JSON file that you have. You can always obtain a new JSON file from a Secret Phrase, but you can never obtain a Secret Phrase from a JSON file.
