Use the device settings menu to customize your Trezor device, manage security features, and perform other (advanced) operations.


Wallet backup

 
  • Backup: informs you of the status of your backup, i.e., whether or not you've set up your recovery seed.
    • If you've already created your backup, you'll see the grayed-out 'Backup successful' button.
    • If you have not already created your backup, please click on Create backup and set it up so as soon as possible:
 


If you are using your Trezor device without a backup, Trezor Suite will also display a red banner at the top of the screen, prompting you to create a backup.
 
  • Check backup: click on 'Check backup' to perform a simulated wallet recovery process, which allows you to check the validity of your recovery seed phrase.

A step-by-step guide for checking your recovery seed phrase is also available for both Trezor models:

Security

 
  • PIN: use the switch to toggle the PIN feature on/off.
  • Change PIN: if you want to change your PIN (or need to change it because you suspect it may have been compromised) simply click on 'Change PIN' and follow the on-screen instructions.
  • Passphrase: the passphrase feature is enabled by default, but you can turn the feature off using the toggle switch. You can learn more about using passphrases in our Using passphrase in Trezor Suite, MetaMask and other apps video on YouTube.
  • Safety checks: although not recommended, you can turn off Trezor safety checks and allow (potentially) unsafe actions, e.g. mismatching coin keys or enabling extreme fees. 
 
Do not edit the safety checks unless you know what you're doing!

  • Hover over an active coin to reveal the settings gear icon; click on it to access the 'Backends' menu, which allows you to setup custom backends in Trezor Suite.
  • Disabling a coin only removes it from the Trezor Suite interface, it does not cause the coins to 'disappear' from your device.
