RE: Number 9: Top 10 Mistakes Crypto Newbies Make
I stored some vital info on a highly secure USB key called Ironkey - of course, I forgot the password and waited a month before making my 3rd attempt and having it self-destruct. Fortunately, this time it was correct. Lesson learned.

The great thing about Ledger and Trezor is they are wallets based on a 24 word seed. So when you configure your hardware wallet, you also write down those words and store them as you'd store a key to all your money.
Even if you reset your device by 3 wrong pins, you can input the seed words and you will have access again to your funds.
