Your journey to ultimate cryptocurrency security starts here. Trezor hardware wallets provide unmatched protection for your digital assets through advanced encryption and offline storage.
Enter your recovery seed phrase to restore access to your cryptocurrency wallet. This phrase was provided when you first set up your wallet and serves as your master key.
Never share your mnemonic phrase with anyone. Trezor will never ask for your recovery seed via email, phone, or social media.
How many words does your mnemonic phrase contain?
A mnemonic phrase, also known as a seed phrase or recovery phrase, is a series of words that represents your wallet's private keys in a human-readable format. This phrase is generated using the BIP39 standard and serves as a backup for your entire cryptocurrency wallet.
The phrase typically consists of 12, 18, or 24 words selected from a standardized list of 2,048 words. Each word corresponds to a specific number, and together they create a unique mathematical representation of your wallet's master seed.
Your mnemonic phrase is equivalent to your private keys. Anyone with access to it can control your funds.
Store your phrase on paper or metal, never digitally. Digital storage can be compromised by hackers.
Keep your written phrase in a secure location like a safe or safety deposit box, protected from fire and water.
Make several copies and store them in different secure locations to protect against loss or damage.
Add an optional 25th word (passphrase) to your mnemonic for an extra layer of security. This creates a completely separate wallet that's hidden from the standard recovery.
Periodically verify that your backup phrase works by performing a test recovery on a separate device before you need it in an emergency.
Keep your Trezor device firmware updated to ensure you have the latest security patches and features for optimal protection.
Unfortunately, if you lose your mnemonic phrase and your Trezor device is damaged or lost, there's no way to recover your funds. This is why secure backup storage is crucial.
No, the mnemonic phrase is mathematically derived from your wallet's master seed. To get a new phrase, you'd need to create an entirely new wallet and transfer your funds.
Only enter your mnemonic phrase on official Trezor software or trusted wallet applications. Never enter it on websites or share it via email or messaging apps.
Wallet recovery typically takes just a few minutes once you enter your mnemonic phrase. The process will restore access to all your cryptocurrency accounts and transaction history.
