Trezor® Hardware® Wallet®
Keep your digital wealth safe with Trezor Wallet – the gold standard in cryptocurrency security. Take advantage of its industry-leading features to protect your Bitcoin, Litecoin, and other assets.
The recovery process for a Trezor Wallet in case of loss or damage to the device involves using the recovery seed, also known as the seed phrase or mnemonic seed, to restore access to your cryptocurrency funds. Here's a step-by-step guide to the recovery process:
Locate Your Recovery Seed: The recovery seed is a list of words that you generated during the initial setup of your Trezor device. It's crucial to locate and securely store your recovery seed in a safe place separate from your Trezor device. Without the recovery seed, you may lose access to your funds permanently if your device is lost or damaged.
Obtain a New Trezor Device: If your Trezor device is lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair, you'll need to obtain a new Trezor device from an authorized retailer.
Access the Recovery Process: Once you have a new Trezor device, you'll need to access the recovery process through the Trezor Wallet interface on your computer or smartphone. Connect the new Trezor device to your device via USB or Bluetooth and navigate to the recovery option in the wallet interface.
Enter Your Recovery Seed: Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your recovery seed. You'll typically be prompted to enter each word of the recovery seed in the correct order. Take your time and ensure the accuracy of each word to prevent errors during the recovery process.
Complete the Recovery Process: After entering your recovery seed, the Trezor device will verify the seed and initiate the recovery process. Once the recovery is complete, your cryptocurrency funds and wallet settings will be restored to the new Trezor device. You'll have access to the same wallets and transaction history as before.
Set Up a New PIN (Optional): As an additional security measure, you may choose to set up a new PIN for the new Trezor device. This PIN will be used to unlock the device and access your wallet.
Verify Your Funds: After completing the recovery process, it's essential to verify that your cryptocurrency funds and transactions are correctly restored on the new Trezor device. Review your wallet balance and transaction history to ensure that everything is accurate.
Secure Your New Device and Recovery Seed: Once you've successfully recovered access to your cryptocurrency funds, be sure to securely store your new Trezor device and recovery seed. Consider using additional security measures, such as passphrase encryption, to enhance the security of your wallet.
By following these steps, you can safely recover access to your Trezor Wallet in case of loss or damage to the device, ensuring that your cryptocurrency funds remain accessible and secure.
