The best thing is that you managed to get rid of the old HW which is no longer reliable for me and many others. Still, if I were you, I would get the latest model (Safe 5) even though it costs twice as much as you paid - because you don't buy hardware every day, and the newer the device, the longer the customer support.

In any case, congratulations on your new choice and I wish you safe storage and a good user experience Smiley
I have my Trezor Model T, which I started using again after a long break.  just like my Bitbox02. The Trezor is more convenient to use due to its touchscreen and alphanumeric keyboard (a 0-9 key keyboard with about 3 to 4 letters per slot and a number). I can type my passphrase faster on the Trezor than on the Bitbox02, and I can type the passphrase on my computer.

Obviously, this would compromise the passphrase if an attacker were intercepting it, but since they presumably don't have access to the seed phrase, they won't be able to access the funds, just the passphrase is useless.

What do you think of Trezor's approach of providing two passphrase input options: Host or device?

I'd like a hardware wallet with a QWERT keyboard (easier and faster to enter the passphrase).
