The best practice for using these wallets is to load this "Seed" into a secure hardware device, like

trust any hardware/software solution for this -- even us! So, we architected the SLIP-39 App

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

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