A Trezor hardware wallet is one of the most secure ways to store your cryptocurrency. To ensure your device is genuine and your funds remain safe, always begin the setup at trezor.io/start. This official page provides the latest firmware, security tips, and step-by-step instructions tailored to your device model, whether it’s Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T.
First, open your Trezor package carefully. Ensure the holographic seal is intact (for Model One) and that the box shows no signs of tampering. Inside, you’ll find the Trezor device, a USB cable, a recovery seed card, and a quick-start guide. Never use a second-hand or pre-configured device.
Go to trezor.io/start and download Trezor Suite, the official desktop app for managing your wallet. Trezor Suite supports Windows, macOS, and Linux. Plug your Trezor into your computer using the USB cable and launch Trezor Suite. The app will automatically detect your device and guide you through firmware installation if needed.
After installing any firmware updates, you’ll be prompted to create a new wallet. The most crucial step is backing up your recovery seed — a list of 12, 18, or 24 words generated by your device. Write these words down exactly, in the correct order, on the provided recovery card. Never take a photo or store it digitally. This seed is the only way to recover your funds if you lose or damage your Trezor.
Next, set a strong PIN code to protect your Trezor from unauthorized physical access. Trezor Suite may also prompt you to enable advanced features like passphrase protection for extra security.
Once your wallet is created, you can add accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many other coins. Trezor Suite makes it easy to receive, send, and track transactions. Always verify addresses on your Trezor’s screen before confirming any transfer.
Visit trezor.io/start regularly for security news and firmware updates. Keeping your device and Trezor Suite up to date helps protect you from new threats.
By carefully following these steps, you’ll have a secure foundation for managing your crypto with peace of mind.
