Security checklist you should never skip
These habits help keep your hardware wallet secure and your self‑custody consistent over time.
- Use only official links: Trezor.io/start® and Trezor.io/trezor-suite.
- Never type the recovery seed into any computer or website; device and paper only.
- Verify addresses and amounts on the device screen for every transaction, no exceptions.
- Keep firmware, Trezor Suite, and your OS updated via official prompts.
- Store the recovery seed offline; avoid photos, scans, and cloud storage.
- Label accounts and separate long‑term storage from daily spending.
Desktop vs web — picking your flow
The desktop app offers an installed, distraction‑free environment, while the web app is handy on secondary machines. In both cases, the hardware wallet screen is the source of truth for approvals.
- Use desktop for deeper reviews and routine management.
- Use web when traveling or switching computers.
- Always confirm on-device before signing any operation.
