A straightforward guide to opening your wallet, connecting your device, and solving common access issues—without ever putting your recovery seed at risk.
Your recovery seed belongs offline. A legitimate support agent will never ask you to share it.
Connect your device and approve actions directly on its screen.
A hardware wallet does not work like a website account with a username and password. You connect your device to compatible wallet software, then confirm sensitive actions on the device itself.

Connect your Trezor device with a reliable USB cable, open the official wallet interface, and follow the on-screen connection prompts. Enter your PIN only through the secure device flow.
Review transaction details on your hardware wallet display before approving. The device screen is the trusted source for what you are signing—not a pop-up or message on your computer.
Work through these safe checks before trying again. Exact prompts can vary by device model and wallet software version.
Reconnect the cable, try another USB port, and avoid hubs where possible. Confirm the cable supports data transfer, close other wallet apps, then refresh the official wallet interface.
Pause after an unexpected prompt and verify it on your device display. Passphrases are case-sensitive; a different passphrase can open a different wallet. Never share either credential with support.
Update your browser and device software only through verified official channels. Try a fresh browser tab, check USB permissions, and make sure security software is not blocking the device connection.
Do not reset the device or enter your recovery words into a website. Check that you chose the expected account, network, and passphrase. Use official recovery guidance if funds still appear missing.
Your hardware wallet keeps private keys isolated. A few consistent habits can help protect your funds and your recovery backup.
Scams often manufacture urgency. Stop and verify the website, device prompt, and transaction details before approving anything.
Wallet access is centered on your hardware device, PIN, and—if configured—a passphrase, rather than a conventional online account login. Follow the prompts in verified official wallet software.
No. Do not give your recovery seed to anyone or type it into a website. Anyone requesting it is a serious red flag. Keep the backup offline and private.
Access and recovery options depend on your setup and the wallet software you use. Consult official instructions for your model. Be cautious of third-party recovery services and never share your backup words with them.
