Noone who has access to such a quantum computer, would attack your seed phrase. They would attack your private keys directly, and the length of your private keys have exactly the same length (256) bits,for 12, 24 or 24+25th. A 12 word seedphrase is more than secure enough.
It depends on the attack vector. A 12 word seed can be easily brute forced if you have all the words but don’t know the order of them whereas a 24 word seed cannot. Also, if there isn’t sufficient entropy used to generate your seed phrase, the 24 word seed might be less affected by this.
not concerned about quantum computing and wallet passwords, at that point every computer system in the world is vulnerable from banking to defense, wallets will be the least of our concerns
Another key aspect you didn't mention is that the passphrase isn't stored on the device, whereas the seed phrase is. In a standard wallet without a passphrase, an attacker can access your wallet through one of two ways 1) steal the trezor device and know/guess the PIN, 2) steal your written recovery seed, and restore it into a new wallet (no knowledge of PIN required). By adding a passphrase, neither of those two options will work without the attacker also knowing the passphrase. If you use a strong passphase that's only in your head, not written down, this mitigates against those two attacks. And passphrases can be as simple or as complex as you like, so it's easy to choose something that you'll never forget while not needing to write it down.
My only complaint about a passphrase is that unless you write it down on the same place you have your seed (paper, metal, etc) then you are essentially seed phrase splitting, like those people who split their 24-word seed, which is a bad idea. I really believe the complexity of remembering the passphrase out-weighs the advantages. Most coins that will be lost the next decade will be due to complexity. The number of people who will lose their seed phrase in coming years will be prodigious. Meanwhile, the guy who lost 75,000 BTC on his hard drive 10 years ago that is now in the dump, is likely not even protected by a seed.... yet it still sits there unprotected and likely safe.... forever.
Using a passphrase seems like a no brainier. You should be able to memorize one word as well as secure it in several secure locations separate from the seed phrase.
@@rufuspipemos I been seedword splitting for years 😆 dont knock it, its gotta be a good Idea as I just discovered my waller offers seed XOR which is basically splitting your 24 seed words in to 2 sets of 24 word seeds which ai'll be upgrading into
No it is not. The resulting private key is always 256 bit. To brutforce it you have to search the complete 256 space for a match. 12 + 13th password is as same secure, as 24 + 25th password. The point is the resulting private key, not you seed phrase.
@onepunchvegan866 256bit verses 512 bit. 512 plus 25th word infinitely more secure than 256 plus 13th word. However I'm still happy with 12 words plus passphrase
Question: how is it possible for a trezor/ledger/metamask to recognize your recovery phrase? Since “no-one knows your phrase not even the company” Is your recovery phrase is stored somewhere in a database? Or how else could it be recognize as a legit wallet, when recoverd.
Nice video. So if you setup the standard wallet with the 12/24 seed phrase, youll have a receive address for each coin as usual, but can you also at the same time have the hidden wallet that will have a completely different set of addresses for each coin on that same device? If thats the case how can you make transactions from both a standard area crypto address, and the hidden public address of the same crypto type?
Correct. It’s just a different wallet. So whenever you connect your device to Trezor suite it asks you if you want to sign into your standard phrase or hidden wallet. That’s how you switch between the two.
Thank you! And yes, it supports both (XRP is natively supported in Trezor Suite and XLM is supported in conjunction with a compatible wallet including Exodus, Stellarport, and Account Viewer

@@cyberscrilla I had to double check because I had an issue with the old Trezor 1. On the Trezor site, it stated that XLM was supported by Trezor 1 model. Once I received it, set it up only to find out XLM was not supported. I’ve seen this happen a few times with wallets.

@@cyberscrilla thanks a lot. So with a passphrase will it be secure enough to use the same seed phrase and passphrase for multiple wallets say trezor and tangem?
Can somebody please tell me how to transfer BTC from the COINBASE Wallet to a Trezor wallet? Do I need to go back to COINBASE exchange first? Should I use the Trezor mobile app to go from wallet to wallet or use the desktop extension? I’m confused. And It seems very expensive.
It is expensive. 1. Log in to your Coinbase Wallet. 2. Tap on your Bitcoin. 3. Click on "Send" and enter your Trezor Bitcoin address as the recipient address. 4. Enter the amount of BTC you want to send and confirm the transaction. Done.
@@cyberscrilla thank you for responding. It’s not the steps that are difficult. It’s just that I need to do it all on one platform and I don’t know if I should install the COINBASE Wallet extension for desktop or if I should do it all on mobile with the Trezor app. I’m sure this all seems ridiculous to you. I will figure it out. Thank you for your help!
If i created a passphrase on a trezor with a seed phrase, can i access that passphrase wallet with the same seed phrase from a safepal wallet or something
Wouldn’t you have to store the passphrase with the seed phrase because if say your house burns down and you kept your seed phrase safe but lost your passphrase and you don’t remember it. Then basically the seed phrase is useless without the passphrase. And also passphrases may dramatically increase error because a spelling mistake on a seed phrase is less problematic than a spelling mistake on a passphrase (lower vs uppercase etc.)
Correct. Always a good idea to make a couple copies and store them in different locations. Not too concerned about a spelling error. I’d test that I recorded the passphrase correctly before putting any crypto on it.
@@cyberscrilla Thank you for your reply, makes sense. Hopefully every wallet will offer the passphrase option so then you can recover on any wallet out there.
@@cyberscrilla Tracking states it was shipped out on the 12th. Shipping should take around 4 days since I am close to their facility. On the 20th I got to know that I should call the shipping company and they told me that my package was lost. Now I am waiting for Trezor's support to reply.

You mean Permutation not Combination for the 2048 BIP words. Possible Permutations, not Combinations. When Order of the words matter it's a Permutation. if order is irrelevant it's a Combination.
No they don’t. This is not a device specific passphrase which you are likely referring to. This actually generates a new private key and public address paring. Thus why it’s called a hidden wallet
@@cyberscrilla Wrong. I'm not talking about a "device specific passphrase". I'm talking about the same thing you are. Passphrases are not stored on the device and add more encryption to your Seed words. We're talking about the same thing. I'm saying you are wrong to suggest that this is a special or unique thing. It's available on all Trezors for many many years now and is also available on the best HWW wallets such as the ColdCard, and application wallets too.
