Store offline
A hardware wallet, also called a crypto wallet or bitcoin wallet, is a kind of USB flash drive for your crypto coins. Because you don't store the bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies online or on your computer, you have much less chance of being hacked. You can hang a Ledger hardware wallet on your keychain. This way, you don't have to carry it around in your pocket or bag, which makes it less likely to get lost.
Extra secure
If you still lose your bitcoin wallet or it's stolen, it's still secured with a password or PIN. In addition, most wallets have data encryption to make files unreadable for the outside world. You can always recover your crypto coins with a preset string of 24 words. This way, you can be sure you can always keep your valuable coins.
Software and applications
You can easily control a hardware wallet via an application such as the Ledger Live app or the Archos app. With this, you can check your balance, for example. You can also buy, send, and receive crypto coins with it. You can do this from your computer or smartphone. This way, you can easily track the stock price of your crypto coin on your phone while you're on the train. With the Ledger app, you can store 23 types of coins, but there many more apps available.
