Hi I am in a really terrifying situation.

I updated my Trezor last week and was prompted to create a passphrase.

I wasn’t paying enough attention and assumed that any passphrase I set would be device specific and that I would be safe for certain with my seed phrase.

Now I come back to try to access my funds and I am asked to enter a passphrase that I can’t remember. I don’t think I wrote it down, and the couple phrases I’ve tried have not worked.

If anyone could please help,

What exactly happened in this Trezor update and what did I set a passphrase on? I’m seeing things about hidden wallets? I don’t understand what this is.

I understand this passphrase is a “25th” or “13th” seed word. Does that mean it’s conceivable I could brute force it if the passphrase I selected was not too complicated? How can a "25th’ seed word be added to an existing wallet? I never moved any funds.

Lastly, what will happen if I keep guessing passphrases? will I get locked out?

Thank you. I am really freaking out and feeling utterly destroyed.
