Welcome to the complete setup guide for your Trezor hardware wallet. Follow our step-by-step instructions to securely initialize your device and protect your cryptocurrencies.
Carefully unbox your Trezor device and verify all components are present. You should find the hardware wallet, USB cable, recovery seed cards, and lanyard. Connect your Trezor to your computer using the provided USB cable.
Download and install Trezor Suite from the official Trezor website. This application will serve as your interface for managing your cryptocurrencies and device settings. Always verify you're downloading from the genuine Trezor website.
Follow the on-screen instructions in Trezor Suite to set up your device as new. Create a strong PIN code with up to 9 digits that you'll remember but others can't easily guess. This PIN protects your device from physical access.
Write down your 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed on the provided cards. This is the most critical security step - store it securely offline and never digitize it. Your recovery seed can restore access to your assets if your device is lost or damaged.
Use Trezor Suite to install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage. Each supported asset has its own app that enables transactions. After installing apps, add accounts to track your balances and transaction history.
Trezor devices use secure element chips and our proprietary firmware to ensure your private keys never leave the device. All transactions require physical confirmation on your Trezor.
Manage over 1,800 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and all ERC-20 tokens. Regular firmware updates add support for new assets and features.
Your recovery seed works with any compatible wallet software. Restore your assets even without a Trezor device using standard BIP39/BIP44 recovery methods.
Connect with popular wallets and services like MetaMask, MyEtherWallet, and decentralized exchanges while maintaining full security of your private keys.
Use Trezor Suite Lite on your mobile device to monitor your portfolio and receive notifications while keeping your device secure at home.
Access advanced security features like passphrase protection, Shamir Backup, and U2F authentication for comprehensive digital asset protection.
