Security Best Practices & Tips

Protecting your digital assets is the core mission of Trezor. Here are vital tips to ensure your setup remains secure:

• Never share your recovery seed or passphrase: Trezor staff or any support will never ask for your seed. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
• Store your seed offline: Write it on paper or engrave it on metal—avoid digital storage or photos.
• Always verify addresses on-device: Malware may tamper with your screen or clipboard; double-check the address on the physical Trezor. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
• Keep firmware & software updated: Regular updates through official channels guard against vulnerabilities.
• Use passphrase protection: Advanced users can enable a passphrase to create hidden wallets. Without it, funds remain safe but with less privacy layering.
• Be cautious of phishing: Always type “trezor.io/start” manually or use a bookmark. Avoid email links, ads, or search results that may mislead. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
• Use a clean computer: During setup, avoid public networks or unknown software. A fresh OS or dedicated user account helps reduce risk. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
