Trezor.io/start – Set Up Your Trezor Wallet
Welcome to the Trezor wallet setup guide. If you’ve purchased a Trezor hardware wallet, the official setup process helps you initialize your device, secure your recovery information, and prepare your wallet for managing digital assets.
Open Trezor.io/start using a secure browser and follow the instructions displayed for your Trezor device.
Connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer using the supplied USB cable. Make sure your device is genuine and has not been tampered with before continuing.
Follow the setup instructions to install or access Trezor Suite, the software used to interact with your Trezor hardware wallet.
If a firmware update is available, follow the instructions provided by Trezor Suite. Keeping your device software up to date can help ensure you have the latest security and compatibility improvements.
Choose the appropriate option to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. During setup, your device may display recovery information that is essential for restoring access to your wallet.
Your recovery information is extremely important. Write it down exactly as instructed and store it somewhere private and secure.
Never share your recovery seed, PIN, passphrase, or other wallet credentials with anyone. Trezor support will not ask you to reveal your recovery seed.
Once setup is complete, you can use Trezor Suite with your Trezor hardware wallet to manage supported cryptocurrencies, review transactions, and access available wallet features.
Remember that a hardware wallet is designed to keep sensitive wallet credentials protected from online threats. Always verify transaction details on your physical Trezor device before approving a transaction.
Use the official Trezor website and software.
Never enter your recovery seed into an unknown website or application.
Never send your recovery seed to another person.
Verify wallet addresses and transaction amounts on your Trezor device.
Keep your device PIN private.
Be cautious of phishing websites, fake support accounts, and unsolicited messages.
Purchase hardware wallets through trusted, authorized channels.
If you encounter a problem during setup, use Trezor's official documentation and support resources rather than relying on unofficial websites or individuals claiming to provide wallet support.
Your recovery seed gives access to your wallet. Treat it like the most sensitive information associated with your crypto assets.
