This guide is designed for users seeking advanced security ✦ for their Trezor™ device. It dives into protective strategies for firmware, seed backups, PIN/passphrase combinations, and operational security. Understanding these techniques reduces the risk of theft or accidental loss.
Always verify firmware through the official Trezor Suite. Do not install firmware from unknown sources. Checking firmware fingerprints ensures your device hasn't been tampered with. ✦ Hardware-level checks are vital for high-value wallets.
Create a strong PIN on-device. ✦ The passphrase feature adds a hidden wallet layer. Use passphrases with mnemonic memory or a secure offline storage method. Avoid digital backups of passphrases to prevent compromise.
Advanced users may operate multiple Trezor™ devices for redundancy. ✦ Test recovery on each device before storing large amounts. Keep an operational checklist for restoring funds in emergencies.
Have a documented plan for compromised devices. ✦ Include steps for recovery, revoking access, and restoring funds. Test the plan with small amounts to validate procedures without risking major losses.
