Security Best Practices

  • Only use official downloads from trezor.io/start.
  • Write your recovery seed on paper or metal — never store it digitally or in cloud storage.
  • Never share your seed, PIN or passphrase with anyone — Trezor staff will never ask for them.
  • Keep firmware & Suite software up to date to benefit from security patches.
  • Buy hardware wallets only from authorized retailers to avoid tampered devices.
Important: If you suspect your seed or device is compromised, move funds to a new wallet immediately using a fresh device and seed. Contact official Trezor support via the website.

Troubleshooting & Common Issues

  • Device not detected: try a different USB cable/port and ensure Suite has permissions.
  • Suite won't install: temporarily disable antivirus, download fresh installer from start page.
  • Firmware update stuck: follow recovery steps in Suite and consult Trezor support.
  • Seed phrase lost: if lost and funds remain, consider splitting funds to new wallet once you have a secure backup.
