Trezor Model T is our premium hardware wallet featuring a color touchscreen, microSD slot for additional security through encrypted storage, Bluetooth connectivity for wireless use with mobile devices, and support for more cryptocurrencies including Cardano and Monero. Trezor One is our original model with a two-button interface and supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and hundreds of other popular cryptocurrencies. Both provide the same core security features through the Secure Element chip and are excellent choices for securing your digital assets. Choose Model T for advanced features and maximum flexibility, or Trezor One for reliable security at a more affordable price point.
Yes, you can use your Trezor hardware wallet with any computer that has Trezor Suite installed and a compatible web browser. Your private keys remain securely stored on the device itself, so you can safely access your cryptocurrencies from different computers. Simply connect your Trezor device via USB, enter your PIN, and you'll have access to your accounts through Trezor Suite or the web interface. This flexibility makes Trezor ideal for users who need to manage their assets from multiple locations while maintaining maximum security. Your wallet data and transaction history will sync across devices when using Trezor Suite with the same recovery seed.
If you lose your Trezor device, you can recover access to all your cryptocurrencies using your 24-word recovery phrase on a new Trezor device. During the setup process of the new device, choose "Restore from Recovery Phrase" and enter your 24 words in the correct order. Once completed, you'll have access to all your accounts and funds. This is why it's critically important to store your recovery phrase securely and never share it with anyone. The recovery process typically takes 5-10 minutes and will restore your complete wallet configuration including all accounts, transaction history, and settings. Always practice recovery with small amounts first to ensure you've properly backed up your seed.
We strongly recommend against purchasing used Trezor devices. While our devices have tamper-evident packaging and security features, a pre-owned device could potentially be compromised. Always purchase directly from Trezor.io or authorized resellers to ensure you receive a genuine, factory-fresh device with intact security seals. The small savings from a used device aren't worth risking your cryptocurrency assets. Trezor devices are affordable investments in security for valuable digital assets. When purchasing from official channels, you also benefit from warranty coverage and direct manufacturer support should you encounter any issues with your device.
Trezor devices support over 1,000 cryptocurrencies and tokens, but the number you can actively manage simultaneously depends on device storage capacity. The Trezor Model T can hold up to 100 apps, while the Trezor One can hold most users' needs with capacity for numerous apps. You can uninstall apps when not in use without affecting your crypto holdings - your assets remain safe on the blockchain and can be accessed by reinstalling the app. This flexible approach lets you manage a diverse portfolio regardless of device storage limitations. Popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and many ERC-20 tokens are supported, with new assets regularly added through firmware updates.
