Connect Your Trezor Device

Connect your Trezor to your computer using the provided USB cable. For Model T, you can also connect via USB-C cable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I lose my Trezor device?

If you lose your Trezor, your Bitcoin is still safe. You can recover all your funds using your 12 or 24-word recovery seed on a new Trezor device or any compatible wallet software. This is why keeping your recovery seed secure is crucial.

Can I use Trezor with my mobile phone?

Yes! Trezor Model T supports USB-C connection to Android devices. You can also use Trezor Suite web application on mobile browsers, though the desktop version provides the best experience.

How many times can I enter wrong PIN?

You have 16 attempts to enter the correct PIN. After the 16th failed attempt, your Trezor will automatically wipe all data for security. You can then restore it using your recovery seed.

Is Trezor compatible with other wallet software?

Yes, Trezor devices work with many third-party wallets including Electrum, Mycelium, and others. However, Trezor Suite provides the most features and best integration with your device.

How long does a Bitcoin transaction take?

Bitcoin transactions typically take 10-60 minutes for confirmation, depending on network congestion and the fee you pay. Higher fees result in faster confirmations.

Can I store other cryptocurrencies besides Bitcoin?

Absolutely! Trezor supports over 1,800 cryptocurrencies including Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, and many others. You can manage multiple cryptocurrency accounts in Trezor Suite.

What's the difference between hot and cold storage?

Hot storage refers to wallets connected to the internet (mobile apps, web wallets), while cold storage keeps your private keys offline. Trezor is cold storage - your keys never touch the internet, making it much more secure.

Do I need to keep my Trezor connected all the time?

No! You only need to connect your Trezor when sending transactions or managing your accounts. Your Bitcoin remains secure on the blockchain whether your device is connected or not.

How do I get support if I have problems?

Trezor provides comprehensive support through their knowledge base, community forums, and direct support tickets. Visit trezor.io/support for help with any issues.

Is my recovery seed the same as my private key?

Your recovery seed is actually a master key that generates all your private keys. It's more powerful than individual private keys because it can restore entire wallets with multiple accounts and cryptocurrencies.
