The best practice for using these Seed-generated wallets is to load this "Seed" (usually in the form
34

of a 12- or 24-word BIP-39 Phrase) into a secure hardware device, like a [[https://trezor.go2cloud.org/SH1Y][Trezor "Model T"]] or a

(newer, less costly) [[https://affil.trezor.io/SHUD]["Model One"]] hardware wallet. SLIP-39 Mnemonic cards contain the recovery

words, which are typed directly into the Trezor device to recover the Seed, and all of its

cryptocurrency accounts. For the [[https://shop.ledger.com/pages/ledger-nano-x?r=2cd1cb6ae51f][Ledger Nano]] and other hardware wallets supporting only BIP-39
