hi guys

on my trezor i have stored my BTC for years now, I STILL HAVE ACCESS TO MY BTC AND MY TREZOR WALLET THANK GOD, but i wrote the 23 word (i think) passphrase on a paper and stored that paper in a safe place, but recently i F moved to a different country, i took those documents with me but i think i lost them !

am worried they might fall to the wrong hands ! so i need to change the passphrases which i no longer remember, how to do that ??...

this is what it looks like from inside my wallet:

thanks,
If I were you I will buy another trezor hardware wallet (because I don't want to temporarily transfer my funds in hot wallets for safety reason). Set-up or generate the new seed phrase in the new trezor wallet. Then transfer all btc and any other coins.
After that restore the new seed phrase in the old trezor wallet. Now you have a back-up hardware wallet incase one is destroyed or lost.
