Hardware Wallet vs Keylogger

A hardware wallet is a physical electronic device specifically designed to securely store cryptocurrency private keys offline in a secure chip, signing transactions internally without exposing keys to internet-connected computers.

A keylogger is malicious software or hardware that records every keystroke made on a device, capturing passwords, private keys, and seed phrases as users type them, operating silently in the background without any indication that information is being recorded and transmitted to attackers.
