Setting up your Trezor hardware wallet is one of the smartest steps toward keeping your crypto safe. This guide walks you through the entire process at Trezor.io/start, helping you get started quickly and securely. 🚀🔐
When you receive your Trezor Model One or Model T, check for:
Original, sealed packaging
USB cable
Recovery seed cards
User manual
Ensure the box has no tampering signs, as hardware wallet security is critical. 🛡️
Open your browser and visit Trezor.io/start.
Here, you’ll choose your device model and be guided to download the Trezor Suite app for Windows, macOS, or Linux. The Suite is your main interface for managing crypto safely. 🧭
Click Download Trezor Suite, then install it like a regular application.
Once opened, Trezor Suite will automatically detect your connected device.
You may be prompted to install the latest firmware—always keep it updated. ⚙️
Inside Trezor Suite, choose Create New Wallet.
Next, you’ll be asked to generate a Recovery Seed—your master key for wallet recovery.
Write the 12/18/24-word seed on paper (never digital).
Store it in a secure location.
Anyone with this seed can access your funds.
After the seed, set a secure PIN directly on your Trezor device.
This protects your device if it ever gets lost or stolen.
Use a unique, hard-to-guess PIN—avoid birthdays, simple patterns, or repeating digits. 🔢
With your wallet ready, you can:
Receive crypto via your unique wallet address
Send payments securely
Track balances and transactions
Manage multiple coins (BTC, ETH, USDT, SOL & more)
The Trezor Suite gives you full visibility and control. 📊
Enable Passphrase: Adds an extra layer of security
Labeling & Portfolio Tools: Organize your accounts
Tor Connectivity: Enhance privacy
Buy/Sell/Swap: Integrated services inside Trezor Suite
To maintain top-level security:
Never share your recovery seed
Avoid typing the seed into any website
Only download Trezor Suite from the official website
Keep firmware & Suite updated
