Trezor.io/start (Official) | Set up your #Trezor
Welcome to the official Trezor setup guide. This page will help you securely initialize your Trezor hardware wallet, protect your crypto assets, and ensure a smooth experience using the Trezor Suite app. Following these instructions carefully is essential for safeguarding your digital funds.
Carefully remove your Trezor device from its packaging. Check that the tamper-evident seal is intact. Any broken seal or unusual packaging may indicate the device has been tampered with. Only proceed if the device appears authentic.
Use the supplied USB cable to connect your Trezor to your computer. The device will power on automatically, showing a welcome screen with instructions to start the setup. Make sure you only connect the device to trusted computers.
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web app for managing your wallet. Download and install it from the official website: trezor.io/start. Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to connect your device.
Your Trezor may require a firmware update. Verify the firmware directly on the device screen. Trezor Suite will guide you through downloading and installing the latest official firmware. Never install firmware from untrusted sources.
Choose a strong, unique PIN to prevent unauthorized access. Enter it on your device; Trezor will ask you to confirm by re-entering it. Your PIN is only stored locally on the device and is never transmitted online.
Trezor will generate a recovery seed — a series of 12, 18, or 24 words. Write this seed down on the provided card. Never store it digitally or online. The recovery seed is your only way to restore your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.
Trezor will ask you to confirm several words from your recovery seed. This ensures you have correctly recorded it. Accurate recording is essential to prevent loss of funds.
Once setup is complete, use Trezor Suite to manage assets, send and receive cryptocurrency, and monitor portfolio performance. The app provides features for advanced security settings, transaction history, and real-time blockchain data.
Setting up your Trezor correctly ensures the highest level of security for your crypto assets. By following the official guide, verifying firmware, using a strong PIN, and safely storing your recovery seed, you can confidently manage your funds knowing they are protected from digital threats.
