Hardware wallet
A dedicated device designed to generate, protect and use signing keys without exposing them to a general-purpose computer.
In more detail
The app prepares a request, while the hardware device holds the keys and signs it. Its screen gives you another place to check the authorization. That separation is useful, but approving a malicious request or exposing recovery material can still bypass the protection the device provides.
How you might use it
"The app shows one destination, so I check that the hardware wallet displays the same address before signing."
