You want to import a seed phrase from an online wallet to a hardware wallet? Do not try it at all, always generate seed phrase directly on hardware wallet, it is unique because the seed phrase and the keys are offline.
Now I get it, thanks for explaining better, you and @jackg, I don't know how hardware wallets function, I thought the only thing that makes a hardware wallet different from a hot wallet is the security side of things and also keeping the wallet offline. Most hot/software wallets use shorter seed lengths than hardware wallets
It depends on that hardware wallet, Trezor created Trezor model one and Trezor model T. Trezor model one generates 24 words seed phrase but Trezor model T generates 12 words seed phrase. But the main point is that be it 12 or 24 word seed phrase, a malware on an online device is able to compromise a wallet and know the seed phrase. Also 12 word seed phrase is still having the same bits of security as 24 words seed phrase.On the other hand, a hardware wallet provides an extra layer of security to protect your cryptocurrency holdings. They are designed to keep your private keys safe and secure, even if your computer or smartphone is compromised. So it's better not to mix them up and not let anyone compromise your security and access your assets.
