h3 • Best practices

Never photograph or store your backup digitally. Use a metal backup plate for long-term durability if possible. If you suspect tampering with your device, stop and contact official support. Use the official Trezor Suite app only — do not trust third-party installers.

h4 — Recovery & emergency

If your device is lost or damaged, you can restore your wallet with the backup on a new Trezor device. That’s why secure storage of the wallet backup is critical.

h5 — Troubleshooting quick tips

If Suite doesn’t detect your device: try another USB port, a different cable, and ensure firmware is installed. Refer to the official troubleshooting pages before attempting any risky recovery procedure.
