❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to set up my wallet on a shared computer?

We recommend using a private, malware-free device to ensure the highest level of protection during setup.

What happens if the device doesn’t turn on?

Try another cable or USB port. If the issue persists, contact Trezor's official support for hardware diagnostics.

Can I reuse the same recovery seed on a new Trezor?

Yes, but it’s always safer to generate a new seed when possible, especially if your old seed might be compromised.
