Security & best practices

Hardware wallets provide strong protection, but correct handling of your device and recovery seed is essential.

Critical security reminders
  • Never share your recovery seed with anyone, and never enter it into a website or app.
  • Only download Trezor Suite from official sources; verify signatures when applicable.
  • Keep firmware and Suite updated. Use offline or air-gapped practices for very large holdings.

Expert onboarding & support

If you prefer guided setup, schedule a 1:1 onboarding session with a Trezor expert for live walkthroughs and personalized assistance. Expert sessions require your device to be present during the call. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
