Security Tips for New Users
Security is the core reason you use a hardware wallet like Trezor. Here are best practices:
✔️ Only Use the Official Setup Page
Always start at trezor.io/start to avoid fraud.
Fake websites may try to steal your seed phrase or private keys.
✔️ Never Share Your Recovery Seed
Your 12/24‑word seed phrase is the master key to your wallet.
No one from Trezor or any legitimate support channel will ever ask for it.
✔️ Verify Firmware Authenticity
Trezor devices use cryptographic verification to ensure firmware is genuine.
Follow the prompts during setup.
✔️ Store Your Seed Securely
Write it on paper or use a metal backup — never store it digitally where hackers can access it.
