hardware wallets safe?

[Altero]

for myself, so far I still use a digital wallet because there is still little that I keep in my wallet, maybe it would be much better if I use an offline wallet to save coins, so that they are safer.

I believe it so,  but remember we can't keep them all for the lifetime. And if we can only make transactions without internet will consider almost a hundred percent but we can't. But in terms of security it will be more safer than of online wallets and that's makes thing prone to any hacks and losses all our efforts and money.

If hardware wallets are not safe for someone I don't know what is the definition of "safe"  for that guy. Paper wallets are not safe compared to separate hard disk as a crypto wallet. I never believe the power of online exchanges because there is no guarantee for funds in any exchange.

Exactly, we really have to trust our hard wallet its the best and safest wallet on cryptoworld or else we are on a big risk. Paper wallet is not good, it can be stolen from you and it can also be tampered. I do have online wallets but I don't trust it honestly, I'm still using hard wallet at the end of the day and so far I don't experience any kind of hacking incidents. You have to secure your bitcoins and other coins, hard wallet is the key.

In particular hardware is much safer than an online wallet. And I've proven with experience so far using Trezor. A few days ago I read a post, that there are victims of losing bitcoin in the blockchain wallet, what do you think are the weaknesses of the online wallet (blockchain)?

Hardware wallets are safe so long as you buy directly from the manufacturers and use a reputable brand such as Ledger Nano or Trezor. Also, it's important to continually update the firmware, as firmware updates patch up security holes that are found.

Avoid second-hand wallets.

It's safe as much as you make it, don't share your seed words, keep it in safe location and have secure backup of it and also always check the receiver address before confirming.

there was a chance for offline wallet to be infected by malware and it doesn't have a lot of security measures and hardware wallet will be a winner if you wanna try to create such a comparison between offline and hardware wallet.
offline wallet has a lot of possibility to get the security breach.
I prefer to bet anything on the hardware wallet rather than keep my amount on offline wallet.

Just a reminder that you still need to save these paraphrases and at least have a trusted someone to share it with as we will never know what will happen to you. I have heard some stories in my country where they have hoarded cryptocurrencies and end up dies without someone knowing how to open their wallets. In the end that person has assets that cannot be used be their family because they will not let anyone know their wallet codes.

Yeah right it should be have atleast one person who knows how to open your wallet.Me I put my account name and the password in one note book.I keep it in a safe place.and my wife know this.so when it time Im gone my wife will benifits my account wallet.although she knows already this but just for a safety reason I made it.

Indeed, if a person invested in a cryptocurrency for a long term, then the most reasonable for him would be to use a hardware wallet. This is currently the safest way to store digital assets. Seed, pin and encrypted passphrase is a powerful enough combination for security.

[Sacramentus]

In my best of knowledge, hardware wallet is the most safest wallet to use because it can't be hacked else the owner is careless. So I strongly recommend it as the best wallet to store your assets.

There are hardware wallets that are legit and safe to use but there are also hardware wallet scams so be careful with the choice of wallet that you will use for your altcoins because many hackers are scattered and give a free wallet to get stealth of altcoins with bounty hunter.

Just keep your wallet out of reach and tell others as little as possible about it. Envelope with recorded phrases for recovery it is better to keep as far away from the purse. Then all your funds will be safer.

[Krislaw]

It depends how can safe your fund into hard wallet like trezor, ledger, keepkey and more. When you have hardware wallet and can't use how to protecting from hacker, it same as you use web and sofrware wallet. You can generate offline wallet without conecting internet and it can be safe and generate it seed into hardware wallet

[Jocuserious]

Yes hardware wallet best safety for store cryptocurrency and it's always good safe from hacker. Using a hardware wallet, no other person can collect your key. Actually I have been using hardware wallet for a long time.

You already made your point and what it really is know. There is no doubt about it, hardware Wallet is the best.
Ever since I have been hearing and reading about compromised wallets, I have never seen any complaint on the use of hardware wallet. As a matter of fact, you have the full and only control over it, except you decide to reveal your pin or security details to a third party and you have to hand the wallet over to the person.

I think before he buys any hardware wallet, he needs to learn about how to use the wallet so he can save his coins without any worried. He needs to secure his wallet from the hacker, and he needs to save the private keys for every wallet he has. It is better to have a hardware wallet and save it into one place we know and don't let other people know what we have in that wallet.

I am still using it and considered to be my most secured wallet, because it is safekeep on my wallet. And its not hackable, so I keep my funds there calmly. For other investors that still has no hardware wallet, you must consider buying one.

[zulfi125]

As you know various people hacked by hackers and lost their crypto, i was also lost myetherwallet altcoins worth $6000 and after that purchase NANO ledger that is safe.

So far I know, a hardware wallet is safer than the online one, is that right?
It saves and secures the coins and avoid being hacked. However is there any negative side of using a hardware wallet? Actually, I never use this one and so far only rely on the online wallet or desktop wallet.

yeah, everyone knew if hardware wallet is the safest place to store our coins,
but, in my opinion paper wallet is safer than any other wallet including the hardware wallet
