How to Recover Your Trezor Wallet Using Your Recovery Seed
Accidents happen — devices get lost, stolen, or damaged. But with Trezor, your crypto assets aren’t lost forever. The magic lies in your recovery seed, a series of words generated when you first set up your wallet.
What Is a Recovery Seed?
The recovery seed is a backup of your private keys in human-readable form — typically 12, 18, or 24 words. It is generated offline on your Trezor during setup.
Why Is It Important?
If you lose your device, you can use the recovery seed to restore your wallet on any compatible hardware wallet or software wallet that supports BIP39 seeds.
How to Recover Your Wallet
- Visit Trezor.io/start℗ to access the recovery interface.
- Choose “Recover wallet” instead of creating a new one.
- Enter your recovery seed words carefully, in the exact order.
- Set a new PIN and optionally a passphrase.
- Your wallet will restore all accounts and funds as before.
Security Tips
- Never share your recovery seed with anyone.
- Store it offline, preferably in a fireproof and waterproof safe.
- Avoid digital copies to reduce hacking risk.
