A hardware wallet like Trezor protects your digital assets by keeping private keys offline. But that protection depends entirely on how securely you set it up.

A correct setup ensures:

Rushing or skipping steps can put your funds at risk.


📦 Step 1: Check Your Device Packaging

Before connecting your Trezor, inspect the packaging carefully.

You should see:

⚠️ If the package looks opened or altered, do not use the device.


🌐 Step 2: Visit the Official Start Page

Plug your Trezor into your computer and manually type:
