Trezor.io/Start® guides you to securely initialize your Trezor hardware wallet. Set up your wallet, generate a recovery phrase, and start managing your cryptocurrencies safely and confidently.
Trezor hardware wallets provide advanced security for your cryptocurrencies by keeping private keys offline. This protects your digital assets from hacks, malware, and online threats.
Starting your device correctly ensures it is secure, tamper-proof, and ready to safely manage your digital assets.
Check the packaging for signs of tampering. Remove your Trezor device, USB cable, and recovery card. Ensure all components are included and undamaged.
Use the supplied USB cable to connect your Trezor device. It will power on and display a welcome message, prompting you to start the setup.
Trezor Suite is the official software for managing your device. Download it on your desktop or access the web version. It provides guidance for wallet initialization, account management, and secure cryptocurrency transactions.
Follow the instructions to create a new wallet or restore an existing one using a recovery phrase. Your Trezor will generate a 24-word recovery phrase, which is critical for security.
Write down the recovery phrase on the provided card and store it offline in a safe place. Never store it digitally or share it with anyone, as it grants complete access to your wallet.
Trezor devices provide robust security with PIN protection, optional passphrase encryption, and offline private key storage. Every transaction must be confirmed on the device itself, ensuring full control of your assets.
These features protect against unauthorized access, phishing, and online attacks.
After setup, you can manage your cryptocurrencies using Trezor Suite. Send, receive, and track crypto assets, stake supported coins, and manage NFTs safely, all while keeping private keys offline.
Regularly update your firmware to maintain security and access the latest features.
