	~~'''Trezor''' is a [[hardware wallet]] providing advanced security for handling Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies private keys.~~

	Unlike traditional [[cold storage]] methods (offline storage or paper wallets), Trezor makes secure payments without exposing your private keys to a potentially compromised computer. See [https://wiki.Trezor.io/Security:Security_philosophy Security philosophy] for more info.

	~~== Trezor One vs. Trezor Model T ==~~

	~~[[File:Trezor-model-t-photo-front.jpg\|200px\|thumb\|right\|Trezor Model T]]~~

	'''Trezor One''' offers everything needed to protect cryptocurrency funds together with advanced features like [https://wiki.trezor.io/User_manual:Password_Manager Password manager] or [https://wiki.trezor.io/User_manual:Two-factor_Authentication_with_U2F U2F two-factor authorization].

	~~For more information, see [https://wiki.trezor.io/Trezor_One Trezor One].~~

	'''Trezor Model T''' is the premium version of the hardware wallet. In addition to the functionalities of Trezor One, it has a colored touchscreen for secure on-device input, modern design, an SD card slot, and some other more advanced features.

	~~For more information see [https://wiki.trezor.io/Trezor_Model_T Trezor Model T].~~

	~~''See also this [https://trezor.io/~~#~~comparison comparison table].''~~

	~~== How does it work? ==~~
	~~[[File:Trezor-tx.jpg\|300px\|thumb\|right\|Confirming transaction with Trezor One]]~~

	Trezor is a small single-purpose computer. It is designed to protect your private keys from possible online and offline risks. To do this, Trezor keeps the private keys away from the Internet and confirms the transactions in-device. That way, you can always check the screen for the right address, amount and transaction fee before sending your bitcoins.

	~~In layman's terms, you can connect Trezor to an infected computer and still be able to have 100% control over the funds in your device.~~

	~~Find out how exactly Trezor is designed to provide excellent security:~~

	~~Do you want to know how Trezor protects you against various attack types and what to do in dangerous situations?~~

	* [~~https://wiki.~~Trezor~~.io/Security:Threats Security Threats]~~

	~~== Using Trezor ==~~

	[https://wallet.trezor.io Trezor Wallet] is an easy-to-use browser interface for Trezor. Using the Wallet, you can easily set up the device, manage your cryptocurrency assets, initiate transfers to other services or friends, and more. It is also possible to use your Trezor device with other wallets, eg., [[Electrum]].

	~~Make sure that an infected computer has not changed the receiving address you have provided to someone else. The "Show on Trezor" feature has been developed specifically for this purpose:~~

	~~It is also possible to sign and verify messages using Trezor:~~

	* [https://wiki.trezor.io/User_manual:Signing_and_verifying_messages Sign & verify messages]

	~~=== Backup and recovery ===~~

	~~When first activating the device, you are asked to write down the recovery seed phrase.~~

	~~This means that in case your Trezor is lost or stolen you can easily retrieve your funds another Trezor or any other compatible wallet.~~

	* [https://wiki.trezor.io/User_manual:Recovery User manual: Recovery]

	~~=== Advanced Settings - Passphrase ===~~

	~~You can further improve the security by using a passphrase and or multiple passphrases to create so-called "Hidden Wallets". More details here:~~

	* '''U2F'''
	You can use Trezor as your [https://wiki.trezor.io/User_manual:Two-factor_Authentication_with_U2F second-factor authentication (U2F)] token with services such as Google, GitHub or Dropbox. A further advantage of Trezor is that its users can truly verify what they are about to authorize on the device display.

	* '''Password Manager'''
	The [https://wiki.trezor.io/User_manual:Password_Manager Trezor Password Manager] allows users to manage all their passwords and digital identity with the Trezor security and encryption. The Trezor Password Manager does not require remembering one master password, as access is granted by pressing a physical button on your Trezor device. Your passwords are stored on Dropbox or Google Drive in an encrypted form using the private keys derived and safely stored in your Trezor.

	* '''SSH login'''
	~~With the [https://wiki.trezor.io/Apps:SSH_agent Trezor SSH Agent], administrators can enjoy passwordless and secure authentication to their servers.~~

	TREZOR uses hierarchical deterministic wallet creation ([[BIP 0032]]) which makes regular backups of private keys unnecessary.		TREZOR uses hierarchical deterministic wallet creation ([[BIP 0032]]) which makes regular backups of private keys unnecessary.

	When first initialized, a mnemonic code of ~~12,18 or~~ 24 words, the recovery seed, is created. In case the device gets lost or stolen, the user can recover the entire holdings including transaction history into a new device or other compatible wallet, using the recovery seed.

	=== PIN protection ===		=== PIN protection ===

	A PIN is set by the user during the setup. It protects TREZOR against being used by unauthorized persons. The wallet creators have invented a secure way of entering the PIN that ~~can’t~~ be ~~keylogged~~ and misused.		A PIN is set by the user during the setup.

	Another level of protection is the encryption passphrase which protects the device in case of seizure. Multiple passphrases can be used for plausible deniability.

	~~== Compatibility of TREZOR ==~~

	~~===By OS===~~

	* Linux
	* Mac
	* Windows
	* Android 4+

	~~===By cointype===~~

	* Bitcoin
	* Litecoin
	* Namecoin

	~~The developers are open to add support for other significant altcoins in the future. Currently no Litecoin or Namecoin clients are ready to work with TREZOR.~~

	~~===By wallet===~~

	~~In order to be compatible and "outsource the security work" to TREZOR, a desktop client or a web wallet must have a full implementation of [[BIP 0032]] and [[BIP 0039]] standards.~~

	~~In order to receive coins it is not needed to have the device plugged.~~

	~~=== Sending bitcoins ===~~		In order to receive coins there is no need to have the device plugged in.

	=== ~~Receiving bitcoins~~ ===		===Compatible software===

	~~=== Recovery ===~~		In order to be compatible with TREZOR a software must implement the following standards: [[BIP 0032]], [[BIP 0039]] and [[BIP 0044]]
