on twittter talking about a HEX security telegram.
Here’s my question… I got a hardware ledger and I connect that ledger to my current MM account.
When I’m on my laptop it requires me to use the Hardware Ledger to confirm the transaction, but when I get on my 2nd computer (desktop), it allows me to easily make transaction using the same MM account and without confirming with the hardware ledger.
Does this make sense? I want to make it where every transaction is requiring my hardware ledger
That's because your not using the hardware wallet in conjunction with MM properly. Hit the wallets tab here.https://www.howtopulse.com/

First off you shouldn't be using MM with the same seed on two devices and especially not a phone

Should I go ahead and delete my phone app or since I’ve already done so is it best to just move my funds to a new MM account. I have 3 staked as well
Then you need to do seed migration from your MM to your hardware wallet. There's instructions in the link I sent or here's another made by 2 security pros https://youtu.be/LVr6vATClUo
That’s what I thought I did where i migrated my seed into my Ledger and now it asks for confirmation on my ledger before transacting, but it doesn’t ask for confirmation on my 2nd computer. I’ll review the video now. Thx again
That's very strange. Wait are you still running the same seeds in MM as the seed you migrated?
I imported my seed phrase in my Ledger. Deleted my MM on computer. Opened a new MM on same computer. Connected/Linked my Hardware wallet so my computer no longer has the previous MM account (it has new one + hardware wallet). Now in this computer it asks for confirmation when transacting. But in my 2nd computer I still have my old MM account (which was inputted into my ledger) on it, and I was able to transact without connecting ledger
That's the problem. Your running the same seed you migrated into Ledger on that second computer
MM will let you transact if the seed phrase has been entered to log into the wallet
If I delete the MM on my phone and 2nd computer will I be good to go and safe?
from remote attacks yes but the wallet is still a hot wallet and shouldnt be considered as safe as proper cold storage
Thank you. So the safest way would have been to use the seed phrase and new account that originated from my ledger?
Correct, that seed phrase is more secure than a seedphrase generated via a PC or Phone
Yep that makes sense. I only didn’t do that because I have stakes on this account. Tricky stuff this is lol. I’m going to delete my MM on my phone and 2nd computer so that way the only device with my MM is the one that is connected to my ledger
You can't because your staked. Your married to that MM seed until the stakes become mature then you can move them to a different wallet like Ledger with its own device created seed
Yep, your hot wallet is likely uncompromised you're probably good. You would just migrate everything as the stakes end
