What is Trezor® Hardware Wallet?

Trezor® is the original and most trusted hardware wallet, designed to provide maximum security for your cryptocurrency assets. Unlike software wallets that are vulnerable to online threats, Trezor® keeps your private keys offline in a secure hardware device, ensuring that your funds remain safe even when connected to compromised computers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Trezor® completely secure against hackers?

While no security solution is 100% foolproof, Trezor® employs multiple layers of protection that make it extremely resistant to attacks. The private keys never leave the device, and all sensitive operations happen in the isolated secure element. The open-source nature allows continuous security audits by the global community.

What happens if I lose my Trezor® device?

If you lose your Trezor® but have your recovery seed (the 12-24 word backup phrase), you can completely restore your wallet on a new Trezor® device or compatible wallet. This is why securely storing your recovery seed is critically important - anyone with access to it can control your funds.

Can I use Trezor® with mobile devices?

Yes, Trezor® Model T can connect to Android devices using a USB OTG cable. Trezor® Suite is also available as a web app that works on mobile browsers, though the full experience is optimized for desktop. iOS support is more limited due to Apple's restrictions on USB accessories.

How often should I update my Trezor® firmware?

You should install firmware updates promptly when they become available. These updates often include important security patches, new features, and support for additional cryptocurrencies. Trezor® Suite will notify you when updates are available, and the process is designed to be secure and straightforward.

What's the difference between Trezor® One and Model T?

Trezor® One is the original model with a smaller screen and two buttons for navigation. Trezor® Model T features a color touchscreen, more powerful processor, support for more cryptocurrencies, and a microSD slot for additional encryption. Both provide excellent security, with Model T offering enhanced usability.

Can I recover my wallet if I forget my PIN?

Yes, but the process involves wiping the device and restoring it using your recovery seed. This is a security feature - without both the physical device and PIN, no one can access your funds. After restoration, you can set a new PIN. Remember that entering the wrong PIN multiple times will temporarily lock the device.
