Your secure journey with Trezor® begins here
Trezor.io/Start® is the official starting point for anyone setting up a Trezor® hardware wallet. Whether you are a new cryptocurrency holder or a long-term investor, following the official start guide ensures that your wallet is initialized correctly and securely. Trezor wallets are designed with one goal in mind: protecting your digital assets from online threats while giving you full control over your private keys.
Begin by connecting your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer using the provided USB cable. Your device screen will light up, displaying the Trezor logo. At the same time, open your browser and navigate to Trezor.io/Start. Always type the URL manually to avoid phishing websites.
The Trezor Suite application is the central hub for managing your crypto with Trezor. Download and install it for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). Once installed, open the app, and it will automatically detect your connected device.
If your device is brand new, it may not have firmware installed. The Suite will guide you through installing the latest firmware version. This process is secure and verified by Trezor developers.
When setting up, you will be given two options: create a new wallet or recover an existing one. If you are new, select “Create Wallet.” The device will generate a recovery seed, a list of 12, 18, or 24 words. Write them down carefully on the provided recovery sheet.
Next, set up a strong PIN for your device. This PIN will be required each time you connect the wallet. You can also enable a passphrase feature for advanced security. With a passphrase, even if someone has your recovery seed, they cannot access your funds without the extra phrase.
Within Trezor Suite, add cryptocurrency accounts such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others. From here, you can send, receive, and monitor your portfolio. Each transaction must be confirmed directly on your device screen, preventing unauthorized access.
By following the Trezor.io/Start® guide, you ensure your device is configured securely and correctly from the first moment. Trezor provides industry-leading protection for your digital assets, and with good security practices, you remain in full control of your wealth. Starting right is the key to long-term safety in crypto.
