Trezor
What is a ,Trezor'?
Trezor is a popular Hardware Wallet brand enabling the safe storage of cryptocurrencies.
It is a physical device which has to be separately unlocked. Instead of manually typing in your private key in the computer, you have log-in a digit code directly on your Trezor device. As soon as the device is unlocked it is automatically entering your wallet. Exactly this security mechanism is the main reason why Trezor can be considered as a very secure wallet. The private key never leaves the external, physical device and therefore never gets exposed to your computers hard disk or the internet.
