Security best practices

Protect your seed

Write your 12/24‑word recovery seed on paper or metal and store it offline. Never photograph or share it.

Use a strong PIN

Set a unique PIN and do not disclose it. Consider passphrase protection for additional security.

Verify URLs

Always verify that you are on trezor.io before downloading or entering sensitive information.

Keep software updated

Update Suite and firmware when new versions are available to receive security fixes.

Beware of support scams

Official support will never ask for your recovery seed or private keys. If asked, it’s a scam.

Test with small amounts

Send a small test transaction first when using a new address.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized

  • Try a different USB cable and port.
  • Ensure Bridge (if required) is installed and running.
  • Close other wallet apps that may interfere.

Firmware install stuck

  • Keep the device connected; do not unplug mid‑update.
  • Restart the computer and retry via Suite.
  • Check firewall and internet connectivity.

Can’t confirm on device

  • Compare the prompts on the device and your computer screen.
  • Use the device buttons to navigate and confirm.
  • If unresponsive, reconnect the device and retry.

Recovery issues

  • Ensure words are in the correct order with correct spelling.
  • Use the same word list language your device expects.
  • Contact official trezor.io support for complex recovery concerns.

Frequently asked questions

What is Trezor Suite?

Trezor Suite is the official app for managing your Trezor hardware wallet, accounts, and security settings. It guides you through firmware updates and backups.

Do I need Trezor Bridge?

Some browser setups require Bridge for web pages to communicate with your device. Install only from trezor.io/bridge when required.

What if I lose my device?

Your funds can be restored using your recovery seed on a new compatible device. Keep your seed secure and offline.

Can I use a passphrase?

Yes. A passphrase creates an additional hidden wallet. Never forget it—there's no recovery mechanism for a forgotten passphrase.

How do I update firmware safely?

Update via Trezor Suite, keep the device connected, and do not interrupt the process. Only install firmware from official sources.

Is this the official trezor.io site?

No — this is a template adapted for trezor.io/start. Always use the official trezor.io/start page for downloads and support.
