How To Change Your Trezor Wallet’s Recovery Seed

Quick reminder: It’s technically impossible to change a wallet’s recovery seed or private keys. The only way to have a new set of recovery seed is to generate a fresh new wallet, and moving your funds to that new wallet.

1. Method 1: using a software wallet
2. Method 2 (safer method): using 2 hardware wallets

Method 1: Using a software wallet

1. Download a decently reputable mobile wallet such as BlueWallet or Coinomi.
2. Generate a new wallet as you would do normally.
3. Send the cryptocurrencies from your Trezor wallet to the mobile wallet you newly created.
4. Once all your coins/tokens are now stored using the new mobile wallet, simply reset your Trezor wallet.
   For instructions on how to reset your Trezor wallet, refer to Trezor’s short guide here.
5. Once your Trezor wallet has been reset, generate another wallet using your Trezor by going through the same process you did when you generated your first Trezor wallet.
6. After generating your new Trezor wallet, send back the funds from your mobile wallet to your new Trezor wallet.

Some pointers:

• Depending on your phone’s security, this method could potentially be risky.
• You can also use your computer instead of using your mobile phone, but mobile phones are mostly more secure.

Method 2 (safer method): Using 2 hardware wallets

1. Generate a new wallet on your second hardware wallet.
2. Send the cryptocurrencies from your old Trezor wallet to your second hardware wallet.
3. After all your coins/tokens have been transferred, simply reset your Trezor wallet.
   For instructions on how to reset your Trezor wallet, refer to Trezor’s short guide here.
4. Once your Trezor wallet has been reset, generate another wallet using your Trezor by going through the same process you did when you generated your first Trezor wallet.
5. After generating your new Trezor wallet, send back the funds from your second hardware wallet to your new Trezor wallet.

Some pointers:

• You can use any hardware wallet, though we’d recommend using either a Trezor, a Ledger, or a Coldcard.
