Your Trezor hardware wallet is one of the safest ways to store and manage your cryptocurrencies offline. To ensure maximum security and a smooth setup, always start at trezor.io/start.
Open your Trezor package and check that the security seals are intact. Inside, you’ll find your Trezor device (Model T or Model One), a USB cable, recovery seed cards, and a getting-started guide. Never use a wallet that appears tampered with.
Plug your Trezor into your computer or mobile device using the provided USB cable. Go to trezor.io/start and choose your device model. Follow the prompts to download and install Trezor Suite, the official app for managing your wallet.
When you plug in your Trezor for the first time, you may be asked to install the latest firmware. Verify the details on your device’s screen and confirm the installation. Keeping firmware up to date is vital for security.
Open Trezor Suite and choose Create New Wallet. Your Trezor will generate a recovery seed — a list of 12 or 24 words shown on your device screen only. Carefully write this down on the supplied recovery card. Do not take a photo or store it online. Anyone with this seed can access your funds.
Your Trezor will ask you to confirm the seed by selecting words in the correct order. This step ensures you’ve backed it up correctly. Store your seed phrase safely and never share it with anyone.
Next, set a strong PIN on your Trezor device. This adds an extra layer of security if your device is lost or stolen. Each time you connect your wallet, you’ll enter this PIN.
With your wallet ready, you can add cryptocurrency accounts within Trezor Suite and transfer funds from an exchange or another wallet. Always verify addresses on your Trezor’s screen before sending.
Regularly check for firmware updates through Trezor Suite. Keep your recovery seed offline and in a safe place. By starting at trezor.io/start, you ensure you’re always following the official and safest instructions.
