Trezor®

Welcome to Trezor

Thank you for choosing Trezor — the original and most trusted hardware wallet. Your Trezor device puts you in control of your digital assets, offering industry-leading security for your cryptocurrency, NFTs, passwords, and more. On this page, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to safely set up and start using your new device.

Why Use Trezor?

• Private by Design: Your keys never leave the device.
• Secure: Built-in PIN protection and recovery seed backup.
• Open Source: Transparent and independently audited firmware.
• User Friendly: Easy setup and management via Trezor Suite.

What You’ll Need

• Your new Trezor Model One or Model T device
• A secure computer with internet access
• 15 minutes of uninterrupted time
• Pen and the recovery seed card that came in your box

Step 1: Go to Trezor.io/Start

Visit trezor.io/start to begin the setup process. This ensures you’re accessing the official site, protecting you from phishing attempts or fake firmware downloads.

Step 2: Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official desktop application for managing your wallet. It offers a secure and intuitive environment for interacting with your device.

• Download from the official site
• Install it on your Windows, Mac, or Linux machine
• Connect your Trezor device via USB

Step 3: Firmware Installation

If your Trezor device is brand new, it will ship without firmware for security reasons. Trezor Suite will prompt you to install the latest firmware — this ensures you're getting verified software directly from Trezor.

Step 4: Create a New Wallet

Once the firmware is installed, choose “Create new wallet.” The device will generate a recovery seed — your 12 or 24-word backup phrase. Write this down carefully and never take a photo or store it online.

Important: Anyone with access to your recovery seed can take your funds. Keep it offline and private.

Step 5: Set Up PIN Protection

A PIN adds a layer of security to your device. If someone gets physical access, they won’t be able to access your funds without the PIN. Choose a PIN you can remember, but that’s hard to guess.

Step 6: Start Using Your Wallet

Now that your wallet is set up, you can begin receiving, sending, and managing crypto directly through Trezor Suite. You can also access advanced features like:

• Coin control
• Labeling with Dropbox integration
• Buy/sell crypto directly from Trezor Suite
• Sign and verify messages

Advanced Features

Experienced users can explore:

• Hidden wallets using passphrase protection
• Multisignature setups for enhanced security
• Shamir Backup (Model T only)
• Integration with third-party apps (e.g., MetaMask, Electrum)

Troubleshooting & Support

If you run into any issues, Trezor offers extensive support documentation and a responsive support team. Avoid YouTube tutorials or unofficial forums when troubleshooting — stick to official support channels.

Security Tips

• Always verify you're using official Trezor software
• Never share your recovery seed with anyone
• Enable passphrase protection for added privacy
• Keep your recovery seed in a secure physical location

Your Trezor is now ready. From here, you can explore the crypto ecosystem with peace of mind. Whether you’re investing for the long-term or transacting daily, Trezor gives you the freedom to manage your assets securely.
