FAQ
How do I verify firmware authenticity?

Use the official Suite to perform the firmware update; it verifies signatures. Never sideload firmware from unknown sources.
Can I use my device with multiple wallets?
►
Yes — a hardware wallet can manage many accounts and multiple currencies. Use official integrations or trusted third-party wallets that support the device.
What if I lose my device?
