Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hardware wallet?

A hardware wallet is a physical device that securely stores the private keys to your cryptocurrency. Unlike software wallets, hardware wallets keep your keys offline, protecting them from computer viruses and hackers.

Why is the recovery seed so important?

Your recovery seed is a list of words that can restore access to your cryptocurrency if your Trezor is lost, stolen, or damaged. Anyone with access to your recovery seed can access your funds, so it must be stored securely and privately.

Can I use Trezor with mobile devices?

Yes, Trezor devices can be connected to Android devices using an OTG adapter. For iOS devices, you can use Trezor with compatible third-party applications that support hardware wallet integration.

What happens if I forget my PIN?

If you forget your PIN, you can recover your wallet using your recovery seed. This process will wipe the device, but you can restore all your accounts and transaction history using the seed phrase.

Is Trezor open source?

Yes, all Trezor software is open source, meaning the code is publicly available for review. This transparency allows security experts worldwide to verify the integrity and security of Trezor products.
