After your Trezor is connected to Exodus
How does Trezor work, and why can it improve security?
A cold wallet is one of the best ways to keep your crypto safe. But what exactly is a cold wallet?
A cold wallet is a way of storing cryptocurrencies offline. Private keys and secret recovery phrases for cold wallets are generated in an offline environment. You can read more about how cold wallets work here: What are the different types of crypto wallets?
Trezor is a hardware wallet that can generate and store the secret recovery phrase and private keys in its flash memory. A Trezor device doesn't connect to the internet, and the secret recovery phrase for the wallet is generated offline. This makes Trezor a cold wallet.
When you connect your Trezor to a computer to send a transaction, the transaction is signed offline by the Trezor. The signed information is then shared with the computer to broadcast the transaction.
Because the entire signing process happens offline and is processed directly by your Trezor, it ensures the secret recovery phrase and private keys on the Trezor are not shared with the computer and kept offline.
By keeping the secret recovery phrase and private keys in an offline environment, you can protect your funds from malware and hackers.
Although the Trezor is a cold wallet, the wallet is only as safe as its secret recovery phrase. Anyone with the secret recovery phrase can control the funds. Never keep any digital copies of the secret recovery phrase, and never share the secret recovery phrase with anyone.

How does the Trezor integration work in Exodus?
You can connect your Trezor to Exodus Desktop, and your Trezor wallet will show up as a portfolio in your Exodus wallet. From the Trezor portfolio in Exodus, you can easily send and receive funds with your Trezor, just like how you do it with your regular Exodus wallet.
Unlike your regular Exodus portfolio, to send funds from the Trezor portfolio, your Trezor will have to be connected to your desktop with the USB cable that was included when you bought the Trezor. If you have trouble connecting the Trezor wallet to Exodus and the send button is grey, see the following troubleshooting guide: Why is my send button greyed out?
Trezor is fully supported on Desktop. If you have a mobile device, you can view your Trezor balance from Exodus Mobile. However, it's not possible to send funds from your Trezor and the Exodus mobile app. For more information on viewing your Trezor balance on Mobile, visit: Trezor on Exodus Mobile.
Exodus Web3 Wallet does not support Trezor.
Is my Trezor linked to my Exodus 12-word secret recovery phrase?
No, your Exodus wallet and Trezor wallet are completely separate.
Because your Trezor and Exodus wallets are not linked, it is essential to write down both secret recovery phrases.
Your Trezor secret recovery phrase is only shown once when you create your Trezor wallet.
If you set up a new Trezor Model T or Trezor Safe 3 with Exodus, your Trezor will generate an 18-word secret recovery phrase to help eliminate confusion between the Trezor secret recovery phrase and your Exodus 12-word secret recovery phrase.
If you set up a Trezor with Trezor Suite, your Trezor will, by default, generate a 12-word word secret recovery phrase for Trezor Model T and Trezor Safe 3 or a 24-word secret recovery phrase for Trezor Model One.
Your Exodus secret recovery phrase can only recover your Exodus wallet. Only the Trezor secret recovery phrase shown when you first create the wallet can restore your Trezor wallet.
So, it's crucial to keep both the Exodus secret recovery phrase and the Trezor secret recovery phrase safe.
For more information on how to keep your funds safe, see the articles below:
Which hardware wallets does Exodus support?
Exodus Desktop supports the following Trezor models:
Trezor Model T

Can I connect multiple Trezor devices?

Each Trezor will appear as a separate portfolio. You will only be able to send from the Trezor that is currently connected. Others will appear as read-only portfolios in your Exodus wallet.
To connect an additional Trezor, you can follow the steps to set up a new Trezor with Exodus.
Which assets are supported in the Trezor and Exodus integration?
To see all the assets supported in the Trezor and Exodus integration, you can a) look for a checkmark in the Trezor column on the Exodus status page.
If assets are supported on all three Trezor devices - Trezor One, Trezor Model T, and Trezor Safe 3, they will b) have a green checkmark. If they are not supported on all three devices, they will c) have an orange checkmark.

Why can’t I see the funds in my Trezor in Exodus?
If you have connected the Trezor to another wallet like Trezor Suite before connecting it to Exodus, the funds you held in the other wallet might not show in Exodus.
Usually, this is because other wallets like Trezor Suite might support a different address format or a derivation path that Exodus does not support. To see the funds in your Exodus wallet, you will need to send the funds to the address Exodus supports for Trezor.

Open Exodus and ensure all other programs that might interfere with your hardware wallet connection are closed (such as Trezor Suite).
Connect your Trezor to Exodus using the USB cable included with the Trezor.

After confirming on your Trezor, click OK on the Success screen.
All done! Your transaction has been sent!
How do I switch between my hardware wallet and Exodus portfolios?
You can switch between your Exodus and Trezor portfolio by selecting which portfolio you'd like to view from the top of the portfolio window.
Why is my send button greyed out?
If the send button for your Trezor wallet is greyed out, it would indicate that the Trezor is not connected to Exodus or has trouble connecting to Exodus.
To troubleshoot a Trezor that does not connect to Exodus, please follow our troubleshooting guide here: Exodus does not connect with my Trezor
If you use hidden wallets with your Trezor, the passphrase you enter must be correct. If you enter the passphrase incorrectly, you will connect to a portfolio different from the portfolio you are trying to connect with. In some cases, entering an incorrect passphrase will create a new additional Trezor portfolio.
If you have trouble connecting to your hidden wallet, ensure that the passphrase is entered exactly as when you created the hidden wallet. The passphrase is case-sensitive, so check if you might have enabled Caps Lock on accident. You can also try connecting to your standard wallet, as shown here, to see if that solves the connection issue. For more information on troubleshooting hidden wallets, see the article: What is a Trezor hidden wallet?
