Confidence, Security, and Control at Your Fingertips
Your Trezor device is a gateway to managing digital assets securely. Unlike software wallets, Trezor keeps your private keys offline, safeguarding you from malware and phishing attempts. This guide helps you navigate the setup safely and efficiently.
When you receive your Trezor, ensure the packaging is intact and authentic. Each device includes a USB cable, instruction card, and recovery sheet. Never use a device with broken seals as it may have been tampered with.
Download the official Trezor Suite application at https://trezor.io/start. Connect your device using the USB cable. The software will guide you through firmware updates and initial configuration.
Set a secure PIN to protect your device. Use a combination of numbers that you can remember but that others cannot guess. The PIN is required every time you access the Trezor.
During setup, your device generates a 12–24 word recovery seed. Write it down exactly as displayed and store it offline in a secure location. This seed is the only way to recover your assets if the device is lost.
Trezor offers additional options such as passphrases, hidden wallets, and multi-currency management. Explore these features only after completing basic setup to enhance security.
With Trezor Suite, you can safely send and receive cryptocurrencies. Always verify the receiving address before confirming transactions, and avoid sharing your private keys with anyone.
Keep your device firmware updated, store recovery seeds offline, and double-check URLs to avoid phishing attempts. Educate yourself about crypto security to maintain control of your digital assets.
If you encounter issues, visit the official Trezor support page: https://trezor.io/support. Never share your PIN or recovery seed with anyone claiming to be support.
