Topic: hardware wallets safe? - page 10. (Read 10196 times)
I really like Trezor hardware wallet, it is very easy to use and very safe, I have not heard and have not seen that someone managed to crack it, and its price is low.
A USB Key is safe if it is a "cold wallet" that means it is not connected.
You can also have a netbook or a small laptop with your wallet and you connect it only to transfer from your wallet to the exchange. That's safe too.

In this world nothing is safe when the question is about your data or security. So hardware wallet also could be not safe. But hardware wallet is the safest among all the wallets available. I saw some video where people are hacking hardware wallets. But the one single massage all of them give that is your security is in your hand if you are careful enough then it's hard for people to hack your wallets. Even if you are using online of paper or even normal key wallets. So be careful and if you have some extra money always go for the hardware wallet
I personally think it is safe as an offline wallet offers the highest level of security for storing crypto is it involves storing the funds in a secured place that is not connected to any network. This type of wallet can also offer good protection against computer vulnerabilities. The hardware wallets are the best type of offline wallet that offers very high security and ease of use. Also, as these wallets allow backup, you can easily recover your funds if you lose this device.
One such example of a hardware wallet is Trezor. It operates as secure cold storage. You can easily transfer bitcoins to the device using the Trezor interface, which is accessible from macOS, Linux, Windows, and Android. Its interface is quite easy to use that lists your coins and recent transactions.
Trezor uses a 12 to 24-word seed for protection and recovery and a user-defined PIN. You can also add an encrypted passphrase to your wallet for an added layer of security.

Actually I think its the safest way to store your crypto because its almost impossible to compromise compared to online wallet. Unlike online wallet, hardware wallet are not subject to hacking and stolen security information. There are also a lot of phishing sites in online wallet so its very vulnerable. Anyway, no matter what wallet you used, if you are careless, it doesn't matter at all. So always be discreet and careful.
I think hardware wallet have always been the safest, because it is not connected to the Internet and it requires physical interaction before it can get hacked.
But why do you need a hardware device? Piece of paper containing private keys is enough. Hardware device can't be hacked but can be physically broken easy

hardware wallets are safe when compared to online wallets in a sense that they are solely controlled by you unlike online wallets which are controlled (I mean the website's servers) by a third party so when the site is offline, you lose everything even if you have the password as most of them do not provide private keys. It is better to use a hardware wallet if you fear a website may steal you and I personally use them because most of them do not have access to your private keys as they do not keep a backup of your keys.
The problem that often occurs in our wallet is hacking and the safest way to prevent it is to always look at wallet website security when visiting it. Besides that, always don't visit suspicious website links. But if we have a lot of valuable coins, hardwallet is a safe choice
Therefore, the best any crypto user can do is to make sure they install a very reliable and strong antivirus tool to protect their system, and for any of their wallet, there is need to encrypt it with a very strong password that it will take the hacker over 100 years to crack.
You're right. Hardware wallets are very safe and recommended by many to use them. So if you are thinking whether to buy it, I can definitely tell you what it's worth.
Wallets are recommended where you have the private key or seeed to rephrase it later. Every time you have your private keys exposed online you can be possibly be hacked. That doesn't mean that you will be necessarily be hacked. There are so many peeps having their coins stuck somewhere because they have no access....
Same result like hacked!

What say me? lol /Going back on topic,we have several types of wallets which do entirely depend on what we do need.If we do make use for long term/cold storages then hardware wallets would be the best choice or even those air-gapped pc/laptop would do but when it comes to handy thing then these wallets are much more recommended.Its not totally safe yet 100% isnt impossible since these are prone to damage and lost thats why you should really be sensible on backing up everything just incase for unexpected things might happen.
Personally, I think that hardware wallets are much safer than regular ones. Let it be a little more expensive to maintain, but still your money remains safe.

everything had the problem involved in it we cannot give the hundred percent insurance for anything because everything had the disadvantage also but in hardware wallets you can be more safer that is the only things available in it.

Hardware wallet is the most secure of all wallets for crypto-holders. I don't hear about cases of hacking this wallets, only if the owner of this wallet not made some mistake.
Another case is that some buyers of old cold wallets are resold on the internet. If the seller is not guaranteed, there will also be risks with such cold wallets

Hardware wallet is the most secure way to store your cryptocurrencies, i use a hardware wallet Trezor and have never seen that someone was able to crack it.

Yes, hacking into a hardware wallet is very difficult, but the real challenge is that no one has yet been able to do so.
I would say those are what you can call a safe box on your own. Since they work as a flash drive and a safe box which takes care of the money you stored in your digital crypto wallet. These are the safest and most convenient way to store all of the hard-earned profit and lets you felt at ease against hackers.
Yes offline wallets are proven to be safe but regardless there are online wallets that I will say are compelled to be very functional and safe
i agree on you when you say that there are online wallets that are safe . this was the reason on why i kept on using online wallet and i never get myself a hardware wallet . itll only depend on the user if how cautios enough on handling his account .
if you know what you are doing you will never find any issues on using an online wallet but of course except from natural events like when the main wallet is down or if they have been hi jacked because that isnt your fault already .
