Setting Up Your Trezor Device
Your Trezor wallet is the foundation of your crypto security. To begin, connect your Trezor to your computer using the provided cable. Visit trezor.io/start to access the official setup wizard. This ensures that you’re downloading genuine software directly from Trezor’s secure servers.
Once the device is connected, you’ll be guided through firmware verification. Trezor Suite — the official desktop interface — will automatically confirm that your hardware is legitimate and safe to use. Follow the on-screen steps to install or update firmware as needed.
Create a PIN and Recovery Seed
After verifying firmware, you’ll set up a PIN code directly on your Trezor device. This PIN is essential to keep your wallet protected from unauthorized access. Next, the device will generate your unique recovery seed — a list of 12 or 24 words. Write them down carefully and store them offline in a secure location. Never share your recovery seed or type it on any computer or phone.
The recovery seed is your backup. In case your device is lost or damaged, you can restore your funds using it. Treat it like the key to your entire digital vault.
Securely Manage Your Crypto Assets
Once your setup is complete, open Trezor Suite to access your portfolio. You can send, receive, and monitor cryptocurrencies safely, knowing your private keys never leave your device. Always ensure you use the latest version of Trezor Suite and keep firmware up to date.
- Confirm all transactions directly on your Trezor screen.
- Use only the official Trezor software and website links.
- Enable notifications for firmware updates.
With Trezor, your security is in your hands — literally. By following the setup guide at Trezor.io/start, you ensure your digital wealth remains safe and accessible only to you.
