This initiative underscores our commitment to providing secure and reliable solutions for cryptocurrency management, ensuring users can maintain control over their digital assets in any situation.

Understanding the Recovery Process

Losing access to a Trezor device, whether due to loss, theft, or damage, can be a daunting experience. However, Trezor Wallet has implemented a robust and straightforward recovery procedure to ensure users can regain access to their funds with ease.

Step-by-Step Fund Recovery

  1. Retrieve Your Recovery Seed:

    • During the initial setup of your Trezor Wallet, you were provided with a 24-word recovery seed. This seed is crucial for the recovery process. Ensure you have it securely stored in a safe and offline location.

  2. Obtain a New Trezor Device:

    • Purchase a new Trezor device from an authorized retailer. This new device will serve as the replacement for your lost or damaged one.

  3. Initiate Recovery on the New Device:

    • Connect your new Trezor device to your computer or mobile device. During the setup process, choose the option to recover an existing wallet.

  4. Enter Your Recovery Seed:

    • Follow the on-screen instructions to input your 24-word recovery seed. This step reconstitutes your original wallet and restores access to your funds.

  5. Set Up a New PIN and Passphrase:

    • After the recovery process, set a new PIN and, if desired, a new passphrase. This ensures your recovered wallet maintains the highest level of security.

Why the Recovery Seed is Critical

The 24-word recovery seed is the cornerstone of Trezor’s security architecture. It is the master key to your wallet, capable of regenerating all private keys and associated funds. Trezor Wallet’s hierarchical deterministic (HD) framework ensures that all your cryptocurrency addresses and balances can be restored using this single seed.

Safety Tips for Your Recovery Seed

  • Never store your recovery seed digitally: Digital storage methods such as taking photos, saving on cloud services, or typing it in documents can expose your seed to online threats.

  • Keep it offline and secure: Write down the seed on paper or use a specialized seed storage device. Store it in a safe, dry, and confidential location.

  • Do not share your seed: Your recovery seed should remain confidential and not be shared with anyone. Possession of the seed grants access to your funds.
