Safety & Security

Protect the seed, protect access

Why security matters

Your hardware wallet and seed phrase are the keys to your funds. Anyone with both can control your assets. This section covers physical security, supply chain considerations, and how to avoid scams.

Physical tamper awareness

Inspect packaging seals and device for obvious tampering. Only use devices purchased from reputable channels. If anything looks suspicious, stop and contact official support channels.

Supply chain safety

Prefer buying directly from the manufacturer or a trusted reseller. Avoid second-hand devices unless properly sanitized and firmware reset.

TH

Unboxing

What to expect in the box

Included items

1x Trezor device (Model-specific)
USB cable
Recovery seed cards (paper)
Quick start guide
Warranty & authenticity card

Initial inspection

Check device surface, screen clarity, and connectors for damage. Record serial number if present.

Sanity checklist

Ensure packaging is intact, purchase source is trusted, and the seal shows no signs of interference.

Step-by-step Setup

Initialize & Create your wallet

Connect the device

Connect your Trezor to a computer using the supplied cable. Open the official Trezor web app or desktop app.

Firmware verification

Follow on-screen prompts to verify firmware. Official apps will only proceed if firmware signatures match the vendor. Never bypass firmware checks.

Create a new wallet

Choose "Create New" in the Trezor app.
Follow the device prompts to generate a seed phrase.
Write down the seed on the provided recovery cards.
Confirm seed by re-entering words when prompted.

PIN & passphrase

Set a secure PIN locally on the device. Optionally enable a passphrase for hidden wallets — understand the implications before using.

TH

Login Flow

Accessing your wallet

Connect & unlock

Connect device → open app → enter PIN on the device to unlock. The device confirms login via its screen — never accept prompts you didn't initiate.

Transaction confirmations

All outgoing transactions require manual confirmation on the device screen. Verify addresses and amounts carefully.

Auto-lock & session timeouts

Understand how the device auto-locks, and plan session activities to avoid exposing recovery information inadvertently.

TH

Firmware & Updates

Keeping device current

Why firmware matters

Firmware contains the code that runs the device. Secure updates patch vulnerabilities and add improvements — only install signed firmware.

Updating procedure

Backup/reconfirm your seed phrase first.
Open official Trezor app → follow "Update firmware" steps.
Do not unplug during update.
Verify firmware signature after update completes.

Rollback considerations

Some devices do not support arbitrary firmware rollback. Follow vendor guidance if you need to revert due to compatibility concerns.

TH

Troubleshooting

Common issues & fixes

Device won't power

Try different cables and ports. Confirm the device is charged if applicable. Avoid third-party, low-quality cables.

Unresponsive during firmware update

Follow recovery steps from the official site. Do not attempt random firmware from third parties.

Seed not accepted on confirm

Double-check for transcription errors, languages, or extra spaces. If truly lost, treat seed as compromised and move remaining funds (if possible).

Advanced Features

Passphrases, multisig, integrations

Passphrase-protected wallets

Adding a passphrase creates a hidden wallet. Use a strong, memorable phrase and understand you must remember it — loss means permanent access loss.

Multisig setups

Multisig increases security by requiring multiple hardware devices or keys to sign transactions. Cover basic multisig workflows and rescue plans.

Third-party integrations

Explain connecting to third-party wallets or exchanges securely: verify fingerprints and never expose seed/passphrase.

TH

Best Practices

Operational security & backup

Seed storage options

Physical steel backup (fire & water resistant)
Multiple geographically separated copies
Trusted third-party custody — understand tradeoffs

Periodic checks

Periodically verify access by creating a small test transaction or confirming seed restores in an air-gapped test environment.

Organizational policies

For teams: define roles, emergency recoveries, and secure transfer processes. Document everything and test procedures regularly.

Appendix & Resources

Glossary, FAQs, and next steps

Glossary

Seed phrase: A human-readable list of words representing private keys.
Passphrase: An additional secret used to derive hidden wallets.
Multisig: A signing policy requiring multiple keys.

FAQ

Q: What if I lose my seed?
A: If you lose your seed and passphrase, access cannot be recovered. If you still have the device and it's unlocked, move funds to a new wallet immediately.

Next steps

Complete setup with real device.
Create and verify seed on the supplied cards.
Perform a small test transaction.
Store backups in secure locations.
