Key Advantages of Trezor®

Generating a Recovery Seed

Your recovery seed is the most important part of your Trezor® wallet. During setup, your device will generate a unique list of words.

Write the recovery seed on paper and store it offline. Never take photos or store it digitally.

Setting a PIN

After recording your recovery seed, you will set a PIN. This adds an extra layer of protection in case your device is lost or stolen.

Security Best Practices

Protect Your Recovery Seed
