To ensure the security of your Trezor wallet and prevent unauthorized access, follow these best practices:

1. Set a Strong PIN:

   • Choose a strong and unique PIN code for your Trezor device.

   • Avoid simple or easily guessable numbers like "1234" or "0000."

2. Keep Your Recovery Seed Secure:

   • Write down your recovery seed on the provided card and store it in a safe place.

   • Do not store your recovery seed digitally or online.

   • Consider making multiple copies and storing them in different secure locations.

3. Use a Passphrase:

   • Enable the passphrase feature for an additional layer of security.

   • A passphrase acts as an extension of your recovery seed and adds another level of protection.

4. Verify Firmware Authenticity:

   • Ensure your Trezor device has the latest firmware installed.

   • Only download firmware updates from the official Trezor website to avoid malicious software.

5. Check for Tampering:

   • Inspect your Trezor device upon arrival to ensure it has not been tampered with.

   • Look for the holographic seal on the box and device.

6. Use Trezor with Trusted Computers:

   • Connect your Trezor device only to computers you trust and that have up-to-date antivirus and anti-malware software.

   • Avoid using public or shared computers for accessing your wallet.

7. Beware of Phishing Attacks:

   • Always verify the URL before entering any sensitive information.

   • Be cautious of emails, messages, or websites pretending to be from Trezor. Official Trezor website URLs include "trezor.io/start."

8. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):

   • Use 2FA for your Trezor Account and other associated services to add an extra layer of security.

9. Regularly Update Security Practices:

   • Stay informed about the latest security practices and updates from Trezor.

   • Regularly review and improve your security measures.

10. Secure Physical Access:

    • Keep your Trezor device in a safe place when not in use.

    • Do not leave it unattended in public places or accessible to others.

By following these steps, you can significantly enhance the security of your Trezor wallet and protect your cryptocurrencies from unauthorized access.
