The only independent secured research I carried out was that I bought a second Ledger, 1 Trezor and 1 D’cent hardware wallets and entered my seed phrase directly on them and saw that it’s recoverable.
I kept my second ledger as the official backup in a hidden safe.
I wiped the D’cent hardware wallet and gave it freely to my partner to generate a brand new seed phrase for himself.
As for the Trezor Model T hardware wallet, I wiped it clean and left it in my safe and it doesn’t have any seed phrase in it. I’ll decide later what I’m gonna do with it 🤷🤷🤷.
