Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Trezor device setup, security, and usage.

How long does the Trezor setup process take?

The initial Trezor device setup typically takes 10-15 minutes. This includes connecting your device, installing Trezor Suite, creating your wallet, and securely backing up your recovery seed. The time may vary based on your familiarity with the process and internet connection speed.

Can I use my Trezor with multiple computers?

Yes, your Trezor hardware wallet can be used with any computer that has Trezor Suite installed. Your cryptocurrency assets remain secure on the device itself, not on any particular computer. Simply connect your Trezor to any authorized computer to access your funds.

What happens if I lose my recovery seed?

If you lose your recovery seed and your Trezor device is lost, stolen, or damaged, you will permanently lose access to your cryptocurrency funds. The recovery seed is the only way to restore your wallet. We strongly recommend storing multiple copies in secure locations.

Is Trezor compatible with mobile devices?

Trezor devices can connect to Android devices using OTG USB cables. iOS support is limited due to Apple's restrictions, but you can use Trezor with iOS through companion apps that connect via Bluetooth when using Trezor Model T. Check the official documentation for current mobile compatibility information.
