Trezor FAQ: Addressing Real User Concerns

Q1: Can I recover funds if I lose my Trezor?

*Yes! Your recovery seed is the ultimate backup. Import it into any new Trezor or BIP39-compatible wallet. Test recovery via "Dry-run recovery" in Suite.*

Q2: Is Trezor Suite mandatory? Can I use Exodus/MetaMask?

Suite is optional. Connect your Trezor to third-party wallets like Exodus or MetaMask via "Connect Hardware Wallet." Your keys never leave the device.

Q3: Why does Trezor require physical confirmation for every transaction?

This prevents remote hijacking. Even if malware initiates transfers, no coins move without device approval. ALWAYS verify addresses on your Trezor screen.

Q4: How often should I update firmware?

Immediately when Suite alerts you. Updates patch vulnerabilities and add features (e.g., new coin support). Takes <3 minutes – funds remain safe.

Q5: Can I use Trezor Suite without a hardware device?

No. Suite exclusively manages Trezor hardware. For software wallets, try Trezor Suite Lite (experimental).

Q6: What happens after 16 incorrect PIN attempts?

The device wipes itself. Restore via recovery seed. This thwarts brute-force attacks.
