Welcome to Trezor Wallet Setup

Your security is our top priority. Trezor is the most trusted hardware wallet in the crypto world. Setting up your Trezor device is simple and essential for securing your digital assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies.

Why Use a Trezor Hardware Wallet?

Unlike software wallets, Trezor keeps your private keys offline — away from hackers, malware, and phishing attacks. Whether you're an investor, trader, or holder, Trezor gives you complete control over your crypto.

Step 1: Unbox Your Trezor Device

Start by carefully opening your Trezor package. Inside, you’ll find:

Make sure your device hasn’t been tampered with. The holographic seal on the packaging should be intact.

Step 2: Connect to Your Computer

Visit trezor.io/start and plug your device into a USB port. You’ll be guided to install Trezor Suite — our official desktop or browser-based interface for managing your assets.

Step 3: Install Firmware

When you first connect your Trezor, it will prompt you to install the latest firmware. Follow the instructions on-screen. This ensures your device is safe, up-to-date, and fully functional.

Step 4: Create a New Wallet

Choose to create a new wallet. This generates a secure private key on your device. Trezor never exposes this key to your computer or the internet.

Step 5: Backup Your Recovery Seed

The most critical part of the setup. Trezor will display a 12- or 24-word recovery seed. Write it down exactly on the provided recovery sheet and store it in a safe place offline.

Never share your recovery seed online or store it digitally. It is the only way to recover your funds if the device is lost or damaged.

Step 6: Set a PIN

Add an extra layer of protection by setting a PIN. This prevents unauthorized access to your wallet. Choose a PIN you can remember but others can’t guess.

Step 7: Start Using Trezor Suite

Once your device is secured, explore Trezor Suite. You can:

Trezor Suite supports over 1000 cryptocurrencies and gives you full control of your digital wealth.

Bonus: Enable Advanced Features

For advanced users, Trezor offers passphrase protection, Shamir backups, and support for third-party wallets. These features allow for multi-layered security and flexibility.
