How to Access Your Trezor Wallet

  1. Connect Your Trezor:

    • Plug your Trezor device into your computer using the provided USB cable.

  2. Open Trezor Suite:

    • Launch the Trezor Suite application, which you should have installed during the initial setup.

    • If you haven't installed it yet, download it from the Trezor website.

  3. Unlock the Device:

    • Enter your PIN on the Trezor device. This PIN was set up during the initial setup.

    • If using a Trezor Model T, you'll enter the PIN directly on the touchscreen.

  4. Access Your Wallet:

    • Once the device is unlocked, Trezor Suite will display your wallet dashboard.

    • From here, you can view your portfolio, send and receive cryptocurrencies, and check transaction history.

  5. Using a Passphrase (Optional):

    • If you’ve enabled a passphrase for added security, you’ll need to enter it after entering your PIN.

    • The passphrase acts as an additional layer of security, effectively creating a "hidden" wallet.

Tips for Secure Access

  • Use a Secure Connection: Always connect your Trezor device to a computer that you trust and is free from malware.

  • Beware of Phishing: Only access Trezor Suite through the official website or the official application to avoid phishing attacks.

  • Keep Your PIN Secure: Don’t share your PIN with anyone, and choose a complex number sequence that’s hard to guess.

Troubleshooting Access Issues

  • Forgotten PIN: If you forget your PIN, you can reset your Trezor device, but this will erase all data. You’ll need your recovery seed to restore access to your funds.

  • Device Not Recognized: If your computer doesn’t recognize the Trezor device, try using a different USB cable or port. Make sure Trezor Suite is up to date.
