Secure your Complete Digital Identity! MUST READ

Trezor is the original solution for online security when it comes to storing cryptocurrency and website passwords. Don’t take any risks when it comes to safeguarding the integrity of your online identity. Let Trezor be your trusted source for hardware solutions. SatoshiLabs, the company behind Trezor, has been on a journey to create the most advanced hardware wallet in the world. From micro portfolios to large institutional investors – Trezor was designed for everyone. Let’s take a look at it.

 

How it all started

In the beginning, founding partners Avol Rusnák (Slush) and Marek Palatinus (Slick) met while working on separate projects at the hackerspace BRMLAB in Prague, Czech Republic. Feeding off each others energy and love for cryptocurrency, both Slush and Slick begin to formulate a new way to secure sensitive information. The team erects an eloquent solution in the form of an isolated private network on a physical device. This device will remain forever secure as it never connects to the internet.

Armed with a working prototype, SatoshiLabs holds their first crowdfunding round. Seeing the potential significance of what is happening, both partners dedicate their lives to the prosperity of the project. Together they spend countless hours developing the first and most secure hardware wallet in the world. One year later, the dream of an unhackable cryptocurrency wallet becomes a reality. The original Trezor One is born, bringing with it a revolution in the complete security of online identities.

How it works

Unlike a phone or computer, the Trezor wallet is a limited access device. This isolation grants you complete protection in the digital world. Avoid the security vulnerabilities associated with storing sensitive information on a device connected to the internet. With Trezor, store your entire online identity offline. Today we live in a world where Sim Swapping and data breaches are standard. Centrally hosted software wallets will always be a target of interest. Why even chance your investments, play it safe and buy a Trezor!

* In 2018 over 1 billion USD was lost in cryptocurrency due to hacks and scams.

 

So, what can I store on my Trezor? Trezor supports most of the top cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), Tether (USDT) and others. The list is always growing with well over 500 assets. For example, support for all ERC-20 tokens is enabled, allowing you to store all your favorite Ethereum tokens in one place. With support for a variety of coins, the days of multiple wallets to store all your coins can be a thing of the past. The Trezor team is continuously adding to its list of compatible coins/tokens.

Have you ever lost your phone and had to reset all your 2FA enabled accounts? Not fun! With the Trezor wallet, your funds are safe even if you lose your device. In the event of a theft/loss, recovery is easily done in under 5 minutes. To recover your wallet, input your recovery key into one of many popular software wallets. You can now store all your passwords, 2FA keys and cryptocurrencies in one place. These features combined make the Trezor the first multipurpose hardware wallet. Buy a Trezor today, allow yourself to be at the forefront of an ever-changing cryptographic security revolution. 

Did you know you could login to websites with Trezor? No more typing of passwords and storing them in an unsecure way (hey, you aren’t using the same password for multiple websites, are you?! In case one website gets hacked, hackers can login to all the other sites on which you used your password!). There are other solutions for this, like YubiKey, but why not one device for everything? Many of our colleagues have paid upwards of 50 dollars in the past for hardware 2FA devices – and got limited functionality only.

The Trezor One safeguards all your information, giving you a piece of mind and eliminating the need to use manipulative software applications. Supported on; Windows 7+, Linux, MacOS 10.11+ and Android.

Trezor, the Fort Knox of a hardware wallet, was invented to protect digital freedom, designed to provide maximum security alongside an intuitive and convenient interface intended for accessibility. It comes in an array of options and models, making it suitable for every budget.

A few tips to get you started

Contents of Trezor One

 

When unboxing your Trezor, you will find two water-proof, tear-resistant cards on which to store two separate copies of your recovery Seed. Put these aside, you will need them when you plug your device in for the first time. Before you begin, you will need to install Trezor Bridge: https://wallet.trezor.io/#/bridge

  • Install Trezor Bridge and connect your device
  • Use the tearproof cards to store your 12-word recovery key
  • Set a four digit pin for extra protection (recommended – keeps your funds safe even if someone steals your device)

With the Trezor One, transactions are now safe and secure. You can send funds without ever worrying about exposing your private keys, plug your Trezor into any computer with an internet connection and quickly send funds at the click of a button.

 

Bonus 1: the most modern 2FA solution

Login to websites without typing in your passwords

 

The Trezor One is your front line of defense when it comes to advanced second-factor authentication. Use of a Trezor also allows for secure access to all your favorite sites. Utilizing “Universal Second Factor”, SatoshiLabs has re-engineered dated solutions. The development of USF has been dramatically influencing the secondary authentication ecosystem. Many new 2FA protocols are being modeled from USF today. This new system is far superior as the master key is not broadcast over the internet during the setup process.

 

Bonus 2: password generator/manager

Safely store and generate website passwords

 

With cybercrime on the rise, many websites have implemented the use of strong, hard to remember passwords. These new number, letter, special character combinations make the chances of retaining your new password without writing it down, slim to none. With Trezor Password Manager, you can avoid reusing the same password over and over again. Instead of using your easy to guess password, let Trezor manage all your passwords for you.

Every transaction action requires your physical action

 

In the Trezor environment, everything has a set of checks and balances. While your Trezor is connected, your computer can issue a variety of commands, but nothing will happen without your authorization input via one of the two on-board keys. This limited connectivity design allows you to send and receive cryptocurrency even from a computer infected with cryptocurrency-stealing malware.

So you love all the features the model One offers but are curious about the Model T?  We knew you would ask.

The Model T contains all the security features of the Model One, then steps its game up to the next level.  Surrounded by a sleek black body, the Model T features a 240 x 240 px touch LCD screen.  Under the hood, the Model T is powered by a next-generation ARM Cortex-M4 processor @ 168 Mhz. All this with a USB type C connector allowing for interaction with newer computers. With the launch of the new wallet, SatoshiLabs added support for Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA), Monero (XMR) and Tezos (XTZ) – only available on Trezor model T.  Click here to see all supported coins.

* Never buy a second hand Trezor hardware wallet. Malware that can steal cryptocurrency is now everywhere and by buying used ones, you risk hardware tampering. You can never be too careful. For your safety only purchase factory new, sealed Trezor products.
