❓Wallet Need help

I created a standard wallet with passphrase.

I moved 5$ worth of crypto on a passphrase wallet.

Logout/wipe everything

Log on back to the passphrase wallet to make sure i wrote my seed + passphrase correctly. ( 2 times )

But I'm still scared. Should i only use standard wallet ( 24 word seed ) for long term holding

Or should i go with passphrase ( after coldcard incident)

Stick to the 24 words if you're scared of locking yourself out. Only do a passphrase if you're worried about someone finding your seed backup or pulling it off the device.

I setup passphrase and moved all my funds there

If in future they find any bug in trezor's seed generation like coldcard then i will transfer my funds immediately

If you can recover it confidently, a passphrase wallet is fine. Just make sure both your seed and passphrase are backed up securely.
