Title: Trezor as a password manager. A curious situation. Post by: 1GUARDIAN on October 30, 2020, 01:12:24 PM A few days ago, my Trezor, which I bought in 2015, broke down. I have already ordered a new one and it will arrive in a week. But there is one thing that worries me right now. I used my Trezor as a two-factor authentication key, and at first I was worried that I would not be able to restore it exactly this function, but they explained to me about this and it turned out that I was worried in vain.
I was almost completely calmed down, but now I remembered that in addition to this, I used my Trezor as a password manager. A part of the passwords were duplicated in my notepad, but now when I tried to go to some of my sites, it turned out that I did not have passwords for them in my notepad. Passwords for them were only on my Trezor. In this regard, i have a question - will the passwords that I saved on it be restored or not ? Or is there no way that this feature can be restored on a new device via a seed phrase? I would be grateful for your answer. Title: Re: Trezor as a password manager. A curious situation.

They're saved on dropbox or drive, but they're encrypted with keys derived from your seed phrase. So, if you have a new trezor, you still have your seed and you still have access to the dropbox or drive where those encrypted passwords are saved, you should be able to restore them.

Quote Lost? Restore. https://trezor.io/passwords/Use your recovery seed of 24 words to regain access to your passwords, encrypted on Dropbox or Google Drive.

It means that I should be fine, because I still have access to the Dropbox and the folder inside it. Quote Lost?

Thanks for the information. |
