Your Fortress of Recovery

Never share your recovery seed with anyone. Store it in a secure, offline location. Your digital assets are only as safe as the physical protection you provide for your recovery information.

Secure Your Digital Assets

Setting up a PIN is the first line of defense for your Trezor hardware wallet. Choose a strong, unique code that is easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess. This PIN is used to unlock your device and protect your recovery seed.

For every transaction, Trezor requires you to verify the details on the device screen. This two-factor authentication process ensures that you are the one authorizing the transfer, preventing unauthorized access to your funds.

Trezor Setup Support

Why is my Trezor device not showing up?

Ensure your Trezor device is powered on and connected via USB-C. Check your computer's USB ports for any physical damage or loose connections. Restarting the Trezor Suite application can also resolve temporary recognition issues.

How do I fix the 'No Seed Recovery' error?

This error occurs when the recovery seed is not properly recognized by the Trezor Suite. Verify that the seed is entered exactly as shown on your hardware wallet, including spaces and punctuation. A clean restart of the Trezor Suite often resolves this.

What should I do if my PIN is locked?

Accessing a locked PIN requires the recovery seed. If you have the seed, use it to reset the PIN. If you don't have the seed, you will need to restore your wallet from a backup, which will erase all current funds and settings.

Why is my Trezor Suite showing a 'No Wallet' message?

This message indicates that no wallet has been successfully created or restored. Ensure your recovery seed is correctly entered and that your Trezor device is connected. If the wallet is still missing, check your Trezor Suite logs for detailed error messages.

How do I verify a transaction on my Trezor?

Before confirming a transaction, you must enter your PIN on the Trezor device. The Trezor Suite will display the transaction details on the screen. Double-check the recipient address and amount before pressing 'Confirm' to finalize the transfer.

What if my Trezor device is not recognized by my OS?

Ensure your Trezor device is connected via a USB-C cable to a computer with the Trezor Suite installed. On macOS, you may need to allow the Trezor Suite to access your USB ports. On Windows, ensure the Trezor Suite driver is properly installed.

How can I protect my recovery seed?

Your recovery seed is the most critical piece of information for your wallet. Store it in a secure, physical location away from your devices. Never share your recovery seed with anyone, and avoid taking screenshots of it. Use a password manager to store your PIN and seed separately.
