Strange question but but here goes.  
Its not a strange question, but yeah it looks weird when such questions come from a sr. member.
Especially when the account was created in 2013.


Will I still be able to access all my crypto?   If so how?
Any hardware wallet company doesnt have access to your coins, in any case if you are not able to spend from that hardware wallet itself (for any reason), you can import your seed in any other compatible wallet and spend your crypto from there. For e.g. if you got dogecoin and 14 other cryptos, and you want to send doge, just import the seed it in any self custodial dogecoin wallet and you're done. Do the same for rest of the crypto coins, i.e., import the same seed in their respective compatible wallets.

Simple trick: Buy another hardware wallet and restore all  your coins easily (with the seedphrase ofc) Smiley
Even if all hardware wallet in the world are destroyed for one reason or another, you can always enter a seed-phrase in electrum, for example. Fortunately, this wallet has no physical execution and can be installed on any computer.

I'd be more worried that your fifteen random cryptos you store on hardware wallet didn't turn out to be shitcoins (this is much more common.) and become nothing than expecting HW company is gone forever.
