[Desktop] wallet not using latest version of Trezor Connect

See original GitHub issue

Description

brave://wallet still uses v7 of Trezor Connect and not the suggested and more secure v8.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Setup a Trezor hardware wallet with latest firmware and connect it to your computer
  2. Open brave://wallet
  3. In your accounts list, click Connect Hardware Wallet
  4. Select Trezor in and click Connect

Actual result:

This opens https://connect.trezor.io/7/popup.html which is not the latest version

Expected result:

I expect to be redirected to https://connect.trezor.io/8/popup.html which is the latest version

Reproduces how often:

Every single time

Brave version (brave://version info)

Brave | 1.10.97 Chromium: 83.0.4103.116 (Official Build) (64-bit)
-- | --
Revision | 8f0c18b4dca9b6699eb629be0f51810c24fb6428-refs/branch-heads/4103@{#716}
OS | Linux

Other Additional Information:

  • Does the issue resolve itself when disabling Brave Shields? No

  • Does the issue resolve itself when disabling Brave Rewards? No

  • Is the issue reproducible on the latest version of Chrome? Not applicable as Chrome does not ship with an integrated wallet but this is already resolved in the latest version of MyEtherWallet and MyCrypto which both redirect to v8.

@srirambv @ryanml can this be re-visited? Requiring passphrases to be typed into the computer vs on hardware device is a serious security concern that should be addressed ASAP.

Related upstream issue: MetaMask/metamask-extension#8349

This issue was resolved by Metamask back in January. Brave Wallet still needs to upgrade from Trezor popup V7 to V8.
