Trezor Wallet | Official Backup
Remember to keep your backup seed confidential and never share it with anyone. Losing access to your recovery seed could result in permanent loss of funds, so it's crucial to store it securely and take appropriate precautions to safeguard it.
Access Your Trezor Wallet: Connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer and access your wallet using the official Trezor web interface or compatible software.
Initialize Backup: Upon accessing your wallet, you will be prompted to initialize the backup process. Follow the instructions provided by the wallet interface.
Write Down Recovery Seed: Your Trezor wallet will generate a recovery seed, which is a list of words (usually 12, 18, or 24) that serves as a backup of your wallet. Write down these words on a piece of paper in the exact order they are presented to you.
Store Securely: Store the recovery seed in a safe and secure location. Avoid storing it digitally, as this could expose it to potential hacks or unauthorized access. Consider using a fireproof and waterproof container or a specialized seed storage device.
Verify Backup: After writing down the recovery seed, Trezor will ask you to confirm your backup by entering some of the words from the recovery seed. This step ensures that you have correctly recorded the seed and can use it to recover your wallet if needed.
Additional Security Measures: You can enhance the security of your backup by encrypting the recovery seed with a passphrase. This adds an extra layer of protection in case your recovery seed is ever compromised. Make sure to remember this passphrase, as it will be required to access your wallet in the future.
Regularly Update Backup: It's important to regularly update your backup, especially if you add new accounts or make significant changes to your wallet configuration. You can generate a new recovery seed and repeat the backup process if necessary.
