The Trezor One was the first hardware wallet from Satoshi Labs and a key competitor to the industry-leading Ledger. These wallets remain completely open-source from day one, emphasising ease of use and transparency. This model is slightly cheaper than their Ledger Nano S competitor, although does not offer bank transfer, credit card or PayPal support. However, the monochrome display feels much easier to navigate and is more user friendly. Although PIN/passphase entry and device recovery is currently only available via computer or mobile, the newer Model T allows users to do this directly from the wallet.
This model maintains a high standard of security, utilising 2FA, U2F and FIDO2 authentication, alongside encryption via GPG. The 24-word recovery seed has since become a security standard, however the Trezor One was amongst the first to implement this into their wallets. Whilst suffering a security flaw in January 2020, this was a controlled and professional project conducted by Kraken Security Labs; who reportedly hacked a Trezor One in under 15 minutes. However, their team was informed of this and there have been no reported security breaches since.
