1. Unbox Your Trezor Device
Inside the box, you’ll find your Trezor hardware wallet, a USB cable, recovery seed cards, and stickers—all you need to begin. Check for the holographic security seal: if it's broken or missing, please request a replacement to ensure authenticity.
2. Visit Trezor.io/Start
Head to Trezor.io/Start and select your model—either Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T. This page guides you through the entire process, from firmware installation to creating recovery phrases.
3. Install the Official Firmware
Connect your Trezor device to your computer or mobile device. The site will detect your model and prompt you to install the latest official firmware. This ensures full compatibility and maximum safety from day one.
Create & Secure Your Wallet
4. Generate Your Recovery Seed
You’ll be asked to generate a 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed. This is your ultimate backup—treat it with utmost care. Write it down on the provided card and store it securely offline. Avoid any digital copies to prevent hacking risks.
5. Set a Strong PIN Code
Choose a PIN of 4–9 digits to protect your Trezor. The interface displays randomized keypad layouts, making it nearly impossible for observers to guess your code.
Connect and Manage Your Crypto
6. Install Trezor Suite
Trezor.io/Start directs you to Trezor Suite—our open-source desktop and web app. Whether you're on Windows, macOS, Linux, or using the web version, the Suite enhances your Trezor experience with:
- Modern portfolio interface
- Integrated exchange services
- Real-time price tracking
- Transaction history and analytics
7. Add Your First Account
Within Trezor Suite or supported third-party wallets, add your first crypto account—Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and dozens more are supported. Trezor is compatible with hundreds of digital assets, giving you versatility from day one.
8. Securely Send and Receive Crypto
Enjoy intuitive, secure transaction workflows. All signing happens offline on your Trezor device—so even if connected to a compromised computer, your private keys never leave the hardware wallet.
Level Up Your Security
9. Advanced Passphrase Protection
For extra security, enable a custom passphrase on top of your recovery seed. This effectively creates a hidden vault, making it nearly impossible for attackers to access your funds—even if they have your seed phrase.
10. Regular Firmware Checks
Trezor.io/Start highlights the importance of regularly checking for firmware updates. Trezor devices cannot be tampered with silently, and updates guarantee you’re always protected against the latest vulnerabilities.
