Choosing a passphrase

Whereas your recovery seed is randomly generated by your Trezor device, you choose your own passphrase:

  • It can be any memorable word / phrase / sentence up to 50 bytes (about 50 ASCII characters)

  • It is case sensitive i.e. “Hello World” ≠ “hello World”

  • Spaces are valid characters – every character matters

  • An empty passphrase is the same as ‘seed-only’ access to the ‘Standard’ wallet
