Recovering 12 Seed Shellyt

Then, you have to connect the Trezor to a wallet app to access your funds and not type the seed phrase in. The reason for hardware wallets is to never give the seed phrase to a potentially compromised computer.

Yoroi and Daedalus should both work when you do that, choose “connect to hardware wallet”, not “restore wallet”.

That being said, Trezor (but not Ledger and for 24 word seed phrases it’s also more complicated) uses a seed phrase derivation that is compatible with Cardano’s in general, but Yoroi just chose to not give the possibility to select a length of 12 and Daedalus chose to use a length of 12 exclusively for Byron wallets, not the currently used Shelley wallets.

If you really want to restore in software (making your Trezor completely superfluous), you can restore the 12 word seed phrase in Eternl, Typhon, Lace, and maybe others.
