# Set up a recovery seed
# Create a Wallet Backup

Your recovery seed must be **generated and secured offline** using your Trezor hardware wallet, then backed up in physical form and stored somewhere only you can access.
Your wallet backup (recovery seed) must be **generated and secured offline** using your Trezor hardware wallet, then duplicated in physical form and stored somewhere only you can access.

Once the seed has been created and written down, check that you can restore your wallet using the seed before sending any cryptocurrency to an address generated by the device.
Once the backup has been created and written down, check that you can restore your wallet (via a dry-run recovery) before sending any bitcoin or cryptocurrency to an address generated by the device.

Protecting your recovery seed is the most important step in securing your cryptocurrency.

If your Trezor is lost, stolen, or broken, your backup will allow you to recover your coins and set up a new device. Make sure it is physically backed up in a way that will protect it for the long term, somewhere waterproof and fire-resistant, ideally by using a purpose-built device such as a Trezor Keep Metal.

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
#### Checking your wallet backup

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:

#### Trezor Model One:

* 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.

Trezor Model T, Safe 3 and Safe 5 users can use **Multi-share Backup** to protect their wallet backup (recovery seed) from loss or damage.

The Multi-share scheme entails generating multiple wordlists (**shares**) that must be combined to recover a wallet. Users set a recovery **threshold**, which represents the minimum number of shares required to recover a wallet: for example, in a **3-of-5** Multi-share Backup scheme, the user must combine **any three shares** in order to recover their wallet and funds. Any 'extra' shares serve as a backup in case the others are lost, stolen or damaged.
