Trezor.io/start is the official setup guide for users who have purchased a Trezor hardware wallet. This webpage provides step-by-step instructions to help users configure their devices securely, ensuring that their cryptocurrencies are well-protected.
1. What is a recovery seed?
The recovery seed is a sequence of 12, 18, or 24 words generated by your Trezor device. It is the backup of your entire wallet and is essential for recovery in case of device loss or failure. Store it securely and never share it with anyone.
2. What if I lose my recovery seed?
If you lose your recovery seed and your Trezor device becomes inaccessible, you will not be able to recover your cryptocurrencies. It’s vital to store your seed in a secure, offline location.
3. How can I reset my Trezor device?
You can reset your Trezor by selecting the "Wipe Device" option in Trezor Suite. This will erase all data from the device, including the PIN and wallet, allowing you to start fresh with a new setup.
4. Is Trezor Suite necessary?
Yes, Trezor Suite is the primary interface for managing your Trezor wallet. It provides a secure environment to interact with your crypto assets, including sending, receiving, and checking balances.
5. Can I use my Trezor without Trezor Suite?
While Trezor Suite is recommended for the best user experience, you can use your Trezor with third-party applications like Electrum, Mycelium, and others, which support Trezor devices.
