If your Trezor is lost, stolen, or broken, your backup will allow you to recover your coins and set up a new device.

Trezor wallets only store one backup / recovery seed at a time. If you have it safely backed up, you can wipe the device and generate a new backup if required. | ||
|
||
To create a backup on a new device: | ||
|
||
1. Click on **Create Backup.** | ||
2. Your Trezor will generate a list of words that represent all of your public and private keys across all of your coins, for all of your accounts, including your passphrase accounts. | ||
3. Write down all of the words you see **in order,** making sure they are **spelled correctly.** They must be kept in order to recover your funds if you lose access to your Trezor. | ||
|
||
**Do not store these words digitally.** Do not take a picture of them or copy them to another device. To protect your backup, use the recovery seed card from your Trezor box or a steel tool from the [Trezor Shop](https://trezor.io/accessories). | ||

#### Checking a recovery seed | ||

|
||
To verify your seed is correct you will need your recovery seed with you. The process is slightly different for both Trezor models. | ||
To verify your backup, follow the process outlined below for your Trezor: | ||
|
||

|
||
* Select the total number of words used in your recovery seed | ||
* Select the total number of words used in your wallet backup (recovery seed) | ||
* Choose **Standard recovery** to enter the words via your computer, or **Advanced recovery** to use your Trezor. You will need to enter your PIN to begin the process. | ||
|
||
**Standard recovery** uses our Trezor to tell you what word to enter into your computer. Some of these might not be part of your seed. | ||
**Standard recovery** uses your Trezor to tell you what word to enter into your computer. Some of these might not be part of your backup / seed. | ||
|
||
**Advanced recovery** keeps words and their order isolated on your device. Click the grid to navigate through words according to the location shown on your Trezor screen. | ||
|
||
Once you have entered your recovery seed into the device, Trezor Suite will confirm if your recovery seed was correctly entered or not. | ||
Once you have finished entering your wallet backup, Trezor Suite will confirm if it is correct or not. | ||
|
||
#### Trezor Model T: | ||
|
||
Spell out the words using your Trezor screen. You will never need to enter your seed phrase anywhere but on the device. | ||
