Welcome to the official guide for setting up your Trezor hardware wallet. Learn how to unbox, initialize, and secure your device while following best practices for long-term safety.
Start Setup GuideA Trezor device provides offline protection for your cryptocurrencies. Unlike online wallets or exchanges, your private keys never leave the device. This reduces risk from hacks, phishing, and malware while giving you total control of your funds.
Plug your Trezor device into a computer using the provided USB cable. Visit the official start page Trezor.io/Start to download Trezor Suite.
On first use, install the latest firmware directly from the official servers. This ensures your device is safe and up to date.
Choose “Create Wallet” and securely generate your recovery seed phrase. Write it down on paper and never share it online.
Carefully confirm each recovery word. Store the backup in a secure offline location. This phrase is the only way to recover your wallet.
Protect access to your device with a strong PIN code. Each incorrect attempt increases the waiting time before retrying.
Open Trezor Suite to check balances, send and receive crypto, and manage your portfolio securely.
Securing your Trezor wallet requires more than just setup. Follow these practices to ensure your assets remain safe:
Q: What if I lose my Trezor device?
You can restore access to your funds on a new device using your recovery seed phrase.
Q: Can Trezor be hacked?
Physical attacks are extremely difficult and require access to your device and seed. Online hacks cannot extract your private keys.
Q: Is Trezor open-source?
Yes. The firmware and software are open-source, audited, and transparent.
