Understand the Role of Your Hardware Wallet

A hardware wallet is designed to provide a dedicated environment for managing cryptocurrency credentials and authorizing transactions. The physical device can add an extra layer of protection compared with keeping sensitive wallet information exposed on an internet-connected computer.

However, security also depends on the user's decisions. Safe hardware wallet management requires attention to recovery information, transaction details, software sources, and unexpected requests for access.
