I would highly recommend to anybody with a hardware wallet to practice and verify that they can successfully restore their wallet with their analog mnemonic recovery words backup. I don't know how many users do and practice this actually. Of course you can practice wallet recovery with any wallet you use, it's not limited to hardware wallets.-snip-
