Begin Setup at Trezor.io/startWhat do I need before starting the setup process at Trezor.io/start?
Before beginning, ensure you have your Trezor device, the included USB cable, a computer with internet access, and a private, secure environment for the setup process. It's crucial to perform the initial setup in a space free from potential surveillance.
Is it safe to connect my Trezor to any computer?
While Trezor devices are designed to be secure even when connected to compromised computers, we recommend using a trusted computer with updated antivirus software for the initial setup. The device's security model ensures private keys never leave the hardware wallet.
What happens if I lose my recovery seed?
Your recovery seed is the only way to restore access to your cryptocurrencies if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged. Trezor has no access to your recovery seed and cannot recover your funds if it's lost. We strongly recommend storing it securely in multiple locations.
Can I use my Trezor with mobile devices?
Yes, Trezor devices can be connected to Android devices using OTG adapters. For iOS devices, you can use the Trezor Suite web interface through compatible browsers. Visit the official Trezor Learn platform for detailed mobile setup instructions.
How often should I update my Trezor firmware?
We recommend updating your firmware whenever a new version is available. These updates often include security enhancements, new features, and support for additional cryptocurrencies. The Trezor Suite application will notify you when updates are available.
Where can I find the official Trezor support if I encounter issues?
For any setup difficulties or technical questions, always refer to the official Trezor Support page. Avoid third-party support channels to prevent potential scams. Our dedicated support team provides assistance in multiple languages.
