Seedphrase to Trezor T

How can i tell if i have added seedphrase to my Trezor T. I brought it about 18 months ago and never loaded anything. I can get into it with my passphrase and it shows nothing in there. But i am not sure if i have added a Seedphrase to it?(can’t see anywhere that i have added any words) My brother wants to transfer some XRP to me, but is worried that if i haven’t got my Seedphrase, i maybe locked out.

If you’ve never loaded anything (your wallet is empty without any asset), and you worry about your seedphrase, then just create another hidden wallet with new seedphrase that you have memorized.

Then as usual, send small amount first of crypto with cheap gas fee (such as LTC) and see if it arrives in your hidden wallet.

Hi @Jacknui,

You might also find using the check backup feature on your Trezor Model T to be helpful for checking that you have the correct seed phrase. This is a crucial step before sending any crypto to your new wallet. The wallet backup enables you to recover access to your crypto in case something goes wrong with your Trezor device. Only you can recover your wallet and your backup is the only copy.

In the 'Device Settings,’ select ‘Check backup’ and follow the instructions. You can find more information about checking the backup in our article Check Backup on Trezor Model T.

Remember to keep a physical copy of any critical information related to backing up your wallet (seed phrase and any passphrases) on paper or metal; never make a digital copy.
