I am fairly new to developing with the Algo, and one of my concerns with my application is users forgetting / losing or not understanding the use of the mnemonic.

Are there “best practices” docs I can use as source material to educate on my application how to use/store these items for when the user of the application needs them?

Also what are some challenges you have found with these in “normal” users functionality?
