Trezor.io/Start®
Securely store, manage, and protect your coins with Trezor hardware wallets, app & backup solutions.
Trezor.io goes beyond basic security measures by incorporating advanced features designed to provide unparalleled protection for cryptocurrency holders. These features ensure that users can trust their Trezor devices to safeguard their valuable assets against a wide range of threats.
One of the key security features of Trezor wallets is passphrase encryption. This optional feature adds an extra layer of security by allowing users to create a custom passphrase in addition to the standard 24-word recovery seed. The passphrase is never stored on the device, making it virtually impossible for attackers to access funds without it.
Universal Second Factor (U2F) is another advanced feature supported by Trezor Model T. U2F provides two-factor authentication for online services, enhancing security beyond just cryptocurrency transactions. By using your Trezor device as a U2F token, you can protect your online accounts from unauthorized access.
Shamir Backup is an innovative security feature available on Trezor Model T. It allows users to split their recovery seed into multiple shares, which can be distributed and stored separately. This method, based on Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme, ensures that even if one share is lost or compromised, the funds can still be recovered using the remaining shares.
Trezor wallets also offer firmware verification to ensure the device is running genuine software. Before connecting to the Trezor Suite, the wallet verifies its firmware, preventing any unauthorized or malicious firmware from running on the device. This feature protects against potential attacks that could compromise the device's integrity.
By combining these advanced security features with their user-friendly design, Trezor wallets provide a comprehensive solution for protecting cryptocurrency investments. Users can feel confident that their digital assets are secure, whether they are experienced investors or newcomers to the crypto space.
