BTC Sessions on Nostr: No secure element means that it's much easier to extract a seed phrase with physical ...
No secure element means that it's much easier to extract a seed phrase with physical access to the device. General rule regardless of the device is to assume your funds could be compromised if it goes missing, and immediately use your backup to move everything.
I prefer having a secure element with everything else outside the chip being open source & auditable. Without a secure element you can mitigate risk by adding a passphrase.
