Additional security checks

In addition to checking the integrity of the packaging there are extra security measures in place to help verify the security of your Trezor device:

  1. All Trezor devices are distributed without firmware installed – you will need to install it during setup. This setup process will check if firmware is already installed on the device. If firmware is detected then the device should not be used.
  2. The bootloader verifies the firmware signature each time you connect your Trezor to a computer. Trezor Suite will only accept the device if the installed firmware is correctly signed by SatoshiLabs. If unofficial firmware has been installed, your device will flash a warning sign on its screen upon being connected to a computer.
  3. You will need to generate a recovery seed during Trezor setup. This seed is unique, ensuring only you have access to your private keys.
If your Trezor device shows a warning or error message during the setup process, please contact Trezor Support via Trezor’s chatbot Hal who will help resolve your issue.
