Connecting & Common Issues
Connecting your Trezor® Wallet involves unlocking the device physically. Common problems include device not detected, Suite errors, or failed firmware verification. Solutions:
- Device not recognized: Try a direct USB port, a different cable, or restart the Suite app.
- Suite errors: Reinstall Suite, update drivers, and check firmware on-device.
- Firmware verification fails: Ensure you downloaded the official Suite and follow the on-device instructions.
Recovery & Security Tips
Recovery relies solely on your offline seed. Store it securely, never share it digitally, and use it to restore wallets if the device is lost or damaged. No server-side 2FA resets exist; your seed is your ultimate safeguard.
