Write it down offline. Keep it private, physically secure, and never share it—even with someone claiming to be support.
Verify on your device
Confirm addresses and transaction details on your Trezor screen before approving. Your computer display alone isn't enough.

Questions, answered.
Start with the basics. When in doubt, check official Trezor support resources.
Where should I download Trezor Suite?
Navigate to the official Trezor website by entering its address directly in your browser. Confirm the domain carefully and avoid links in unsolicited messages, ads, or search results that look unfamiliar.
What is a recovery seed?
It is the offline backup that can restore access to your wallet. Anyone who sees it may be able to access your funds. Trezor support will never ask you to share it.
Should I ever type my recovery seed into my computer?
Only follow the recovery process shown by your genuine Trezor device and official instructions. Never type your seed into a website, chat, email, or an unverified app.
My device is not detected. What should I try?
Try a different USB cable that supports data, connect directly rather than through a hub, and restart Trezor Suite. Check the official support guidance if the device still is not recognized.
