Self-Custody

What happens if you restore a seed with a passphrase that differs from the original by one capital letter?

• The device shows an error and asks you to try again
• A different, valid wallet opens, usually empty, with no error
• The original wallet opens, because passphrases ignore capitals

When should you do a recovery test on a new hardware wallet?

• After you've moved all your bitcoin to it
• After a small test send and before you move the rest
• Only if the device breaks
