Security Features in Trezor Suite
Security is the cornerstone of Trezor Suite. The software works hand-in-hand with your Trezor device to ensure private keys never leave the hardware wallet.
PIN and Passphrase Protection
Each Trezor device uses a secure PIN to prevent unauthorized access. The passphrase feature allows users to create hidden wallets, adding another layer of protection against theft.
Device Verification
Trezor Suite verifies that your device is genuine before initializing. Firmware verification ensures that the device software hasn’t been tampered with.
