Step-by-step instructions to securely initialize your Trezor device at Trezor.io/start
Remove your Trezor device from the packaging. Check for the authenticity seal and ensure there is no tampering. This is the first layer of security.
Use the provided USB cable to connect your Trezor to your computer. Visit Trezor.io/start for the official setup guide.
Download and install Trezor Suite for your operating system. The Suite allows secure wallet management and ensures encrypted communication with your device.
Choose to create a new wallet. You will be provided with a recovery seed. Write it down offline and store it securely. Never share it digitally.
If you already have a recovery seed, select “Restore Wallet” and carefully input your seed. Ensure accuracy to avoid losing access to funds.
Set a personal PIN on the device to prevent unauthorized access. Avoid predictable numbers and write it down temporarily only if necessary.
For additional security, set a passphrase. This creates hidden wallets on your device and adds a layer of privacy.
After setup, you can send and receive cryptocurrencies via Trezor Suite. Confirm all transactions on the device for maximum security.
Track multiple accounts, monitor balances, and manage multiple cryptocurrencies through the Suite dashboard.
Regularly update the device firmware to ensure all security patches and compatibility improvements are installed.
