Questions, answered.
What is a recovery phrase?+
It is a backup that can restore access to your wallet if your device is lost or damaged. Anyone who gets it may access your crypto, so keep it private and offline.
Will Trezor Support ask for my recovery phrase?+
No. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone, including someone claiming to be customer support. A legitimate setup flow will not ask you to type it into a website.
Where should I download Trezor Suite?+
Use the official Trezor.io/Start flow to reach the current software download and setup instructions. Verify the website address before proceeding.
What if something doesn’t look right?+
Stop before approving any action. Check the official help resources through Trezor.io and do not follow instructions from unsolicited messages or search ads.
