Learn how to set up your Trezor hardware wallet with industry-leading security. In just a few minutes, you'll have complete control over your cryptocurrency with military-grade protection.
You hold the private keys to your cryptocurrency. No exchange, no bank, no third party can access or freeze your funds.
Military-grade encryption and offline storage protect your assets from hackers, malware, and phishing attacks.
Your recovery phrase ensures you'll never lose access to your funds, even if your device is lost or damaged.
Carefully unpack your Trezor device, USB cable, and documentation. Verify the hologram seal hasn't been tampered with. Check that all components are present and undamaged. The packaging itself is part of the security verification process.
Use the provided USB cable to connect your Trezor to your computer. Your device will display a welcome message. Ensure you're using the official Trezor Suite from trezor.io to proceed. Never use unofficial wallet software.
Visit trezor.io and download Trezor Suite, our official wallet software. This application communicates securely with your device and never accesses your private keys. It's available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Open Trezor Suite and follow the on-device setup wizard. Your Trezor will guide you through the initialization process with clear instructions displayed on its screen. This is where the magic happens.
Set up a PIN code on your Trezor device. This PIN protects your device from unauthorized use. The PIN entry uses a randomized number pad for extra security, making it impossible for anyone to determine your PIN by watching your screen.
Your Trezor will generate a 12 or 24-word recovery seed phrase. Write this down on paper in the order displayed. Never type it into a computer. Use multiple copies and store them separately in secure locations. This phrase is your ultimate backup.
Trezor will ask you to verify your recovery seed by selecting random words from your written phrase. This confirms you've accurately recorded it. Never skip this step. If you can't complete it, regenerate and try again.
After verification, your Trezor is fully initialized and ready to use. You can now add accounts, receive cryptocurrencies, and begin managing your digital assets with military-grade security.
Your private keys are generated and stored entirely on your Trezor device. They never touch the internet or any computer, making them immune to online attacks and malware.
A PIN code protects access to your device. The randomized number pad ensures no one can determine your PIN through observation or device inspection.
Your 24-word recovery phrase acts as a complete backup. Even if your device is lost or damaged, your funds can be recovered on any compatible wallet using this phrase.
Trezor automatically verifies its firmware integrity on every boot. If any unauthorized modifications are detected, the device refuses to operate, protecting against physical tampering.
Your 24-word recovery phrase is equivalent to the master key to your cryptocurrency vault. Treat it with the same care as physical gold. Never share it with anyone, never type it into a computer, and never take a screenshot. Store it in multiple secure, separate locations.
Always purchase from official Trezor channels or authorized distributors. Verify the hologram seal on your device hasn't been tampered with. Use only Trezor Suite from trezor.io. Counterfeit devices and fake wallets can compromise your entire operation.
Before updating your Trezor firmware, verify you're using official software. Trezor Suite will handle all updates automatically and securely. Never download firmware from unofficial sources. Your device will verify firmware authenticity automatically.
After initializing your Trezor, it's advisable to test your recovery phrase on a separate device to ensure it works correctly. This should be done in a controlled environment with a small amount of cryptocurrency as a test.
Take the first step toward complete control and security of your cryptocurrency. Your Trezor device is waiting.
