Get answers to common questions about Trezor setup, security, and cryptocurrency management.
Trezor hardware wallets store your private keys offline in a secure chip, completely isolated from internet-connected devices. Unlike software wallets that run on potentially compromised computers or phones, Trezor ensures your keys never leave the device and all transactions require physical confirmation on the device screen. This cold storage approach makes it virtually impossible for hackers to steal your cryptocurrency remotely.
Yes, absolutely. During initial setup, your Trezor generates a 12 or 24-word recovery seed phrase. This seed is a standard backup that can restore your entire wallet on any compatible hardware or software wallet. As long as you keep your recovery seed safe and private, you can recover all your cryptocurrency funds even if your Trezor is lost, stolen, or damaged. The recovery process works with any new Trezor device or other compatible wallets.
Trezor supports over 1,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Cardano, and thousands of ERC-20 tokens. The device supports major blockchains and continues to add support for new cryptocurrencies through firmware updates. You can manage multiple cryptocurrency portfolios simultaneously on a single device, with dedicated apps for each supported blockchain integrated into Trezor Suite.
You only need to connect your Trezor when you want to send cryptocurrency or sign transactions. The device can remain safely disconnected most of the time while still receiving funds to your wallet addresses. When you want to make a transaction, simply connect the device, enter your PIN, review the transaction details on the device screen, and confirm with the physical button. This air-gapped security model ensures maximum protection while maintaining ease of use.
Trezor has built-in protection against brute force attacks. After each incorrect PIN entry, the device enforces increasingly longer wait times before allowing another attempt. After 16 failed attempts, the device wipes itself completely. However, your funds remain safe because you can always recover your wallet using your recovery seed phrase on a new device. This security feature protects against theft while ensuring you never permanently lose access to your cryptocurrency.
Yes, Trezor is compatible with numerous third-party applications and services.

The device also integrates with cryptocurrency exchanges, portfolio trackers, and DeFi applications. While Trezor Suite provides the most comprehensive experience, the open-source nature of Trezor ensures broad compatibility with the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
