Why Choose Trezor?

Trezor hardware wallets offer unmatched security by storing your private keys offline, away from the threat of hackers and malware. By using Trezor, you benefit from:

  • Robust offline protection – No internet means no easy access for cyberthieves.
  • Transparent open-source code – Publicly audited and reviewed to guarantee integrity.

  • Multi-device compatibility – Works seamlessly with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and more.
  • User-friendly design – Simple navigation with responsive buttons and crystal-clear screens.

When you're ready to get started, head to Trezor.io/Start—this is where your secure setup begins.

Step 1: Unbox Smart and Safe

Your journey starts the moment you open your new hardware wallet. Follow these key tips:

  1. Verify the box seal – Look for Trezor’s official tamper-evident seal. It should be intact and unbroken.
  2. Inspect the contents – You should have the Trezor device, USB-C (or USB-A) cable, recovery seed cards, and quick-start guide.
  3. Never buy pre-opened – Only purchase from the official store or trusted retailers to ensure authenticity.

When everything checks out, move forward confidently to setup.

Step 2: Plug In & Visit Trezor.io/Start

Once you’ve unboxed:

  1. Connect your Trezor using the included cable to your computer or mobile device.
  2. Navigate to Trezor.io/Start—this central page detects your device and walks you through software installation.
  3. It auto-detects your specific Trezor model and presents clear, step‑by‑step instructions on next actions—no guesswork involved.

At Trezor.io/Start, everything is simplified: you’ll be prompted to install Trezor Suite, the official desktop interface, or use the web-only setup option.

Step 3: Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is your gateway to managing private keys and transacting securely.

  • Download the appropriate version for your operating system at Trezor.io/Start.
  • Run & open the application that appears once installation finishes.
  • Complete setup: the Suite will prompt you to create or restore a wallet, and proceed to firmware update.

Through this official app, you’ll get acquainted with sending, receiving, and viewing your crypto assets—all with comprehensive security measures integrated.

Step 4: Update Device Firmware

Firmware updates ensure the most up-to-date security and feature set for your device.

  • Automatic prompts appear in Trezor Suite. Follow them carefully.
  • Device display verification: Whenever you install firmware, your Trezor’s screen displays a code. Confirm it matches the Suite software.
  • Never skip this step—firmware updates patch vulnerabilities and ensure long-term protection.

The entire firmware process takes a few minutes and is essential for a safe crypto experience.

Step 5: Create Your Recovery Seed

The Recovery Seed is your lifeline if the device is lost, stolen, or damaged.

  1. Choose to create a new wallet within Trezor Suite.
  2. Follow screen prompts on the Trezor device that displays 12 (or 24) unique words.
  3. Write them down clearly on the included seed cards—no screenshots or digital copies.
  4. Store securely in a safe, fire-resistant, offline place. Consider creating multiple backups.

These words allow you to fully restore your wallet. No recovery seed = no access.

Step 6: Confirm Your Seed & Finalize

Trezor Suite will ask you to verify the seed words by selecting them in order on your device. This ensures you recorded everything correctly.

Once verified:

  • Name your device (e.g., “My First Trezor”).
  • Set a PIN code on your device screen to prevent local physical access.
  • Complete setup, and you're ready to start managing crypto with full protection.

Step 7: Receive or Transfer Crypto

Your wallet is now active!

  • To receive crypto, click “Receive” in Trezor Suite or web interface.
  • Share the address (double-checked on your device display) with confidence.
  • To send crypto, select “Send”, enter recipient details, and approve the transaction on your Trezor screen.

Every action requires physical confirmation on the device—extra peace of mind.

Helpful Tips & Best Practices

  • Never reuse your recovery seed across multiple devices.
  • Store seed cards in separate locations—for fire, theft, or water damage resilience.
  • Use a passphrase if you want an extra layer of account-level protection.
  • Regularly update firmware and Suite to get security improvements and new features.
  • Stay alert: only use Trezor.io/Start—avoid phishing sites and never share your seed with anyone.
