Setting up your Trezor device properly is the first step to keeping your cryptocurrencies safe. Trezor is one of the most trusted hardware wallets, giving you full control over your private keys. To get started, visit trezor.io/start and follow these steps.
First, unbox your Trezor and make sure the holographic security seal is intact. Connect the Trezor device to your computer or smartphone using the USB cable provided. On your screen, you’ll be directed to visit trezor.io/start, which will automatically detect your device model (Trezor Model T or Trezor One).
Next, download and install Trezor Suite, the official desktop and browser app for managing your crypto securely. Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Once installed, launch Trezor Suite and follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your device.
If this is your first time using your Trezor, you’ll likely need to install or update the firmware. Trezor never ships with pre-installed firmware to ensure maximum security. Follow the prompts in Trezor Suite to install the latest firmware version safely.
After the firmware update, choose Create a new wallet. Your Trezor will now generate a unique 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed phrase. This seed is your ultimate backup — anyone with this phrase can access your funds, so write it down carefully on the recovery card provided. Never take a photo or store it digitally. Double-check each word and store the card in a secure place offline.
Next, set a strong PIN to protect your device from unauthorized physical access. Your Trezor will display the PIN grid, and you’ll confirm it using your computer screen. Make sure to remember your PIN — losing it means you’ll need your recovery seed to recover your wallet.
Once your wallet is ready, you can add cryptocurrency accounts within Trezor Suite. You’ll be able to receive, send, and manage your crypto securely. Always verify addresses on your Trezor’s screen to avoid phishing.
Always access Trezor Suite through trezor.io/start to avoid scams. Keep your device firmware updated, and never share your recovery seed with anyone. With these steps, your crypto assets are secure with Trezor.
