Complete Setup Guide
Follow these six simple steps to secure your cryptocurrency assets. The entire process takes approximately 10-15 minutes and ensures your funds are protected with industry-leading security.
Unbox Your Trezor Device
Carefully open your Trezor package and verify all contents are included. Your package should contain the Trezor hardware wallet, USB cable, recovery seed cards, and getting started guide. Check the holographic seal on the box to ensure it hasn't been tampered with. Never use a device if the seal is broken or missing, as this could indicate compromise.
Connect to Your Computer
Use the provided USB cable to connect your Trezor device to your computer. The device will power on automatically. Make sure you're connecting to a trusted computer that's free from malware. Avoid using public computers or shared devices for initial setup. Your Trezor will display a welcome message on its screen once properly connected.
Install Trezor Suite
Download and install Trezor Suite from the official Trezor website at trezor.io/start. This is your gateway to managing your cryptocurrencies securely. Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The software provides an intuitive interface for setting up your device, managing assets, and monitoring your portfolio. Always verify you're downloading from the official source.
Initialize Your Device
Follow the on-screen prompts in Trezor Suite to create a new wallet. Your device will generate a unique recovery seed - a sequence of 12 or 24 words that represents your wallet. This seed is the master key to all your cryptocurrencies. Write it down carefully on the provided recovery cards, double-check each word, and store it in a secure location offline.
Set Up PIN Protection
Create a strong PIN code to protect your Trezor from unauthorized physical access. Choose a PIN that's memorable to you but difficult for others to guess. Avoid simple sequences like 1234. Your PIN adds an essential layer of security - even if someone steals your device, they cannot access your funds without knowing your PIN. You can change this PIN later if needed.
Verify and Backup
Trezor will ask you to verify your recovery seed by requesting specific words in random order. This ensures you've written down your seed correctly. Never skip this step, as an incorrect backup could mean permanent loss of access to your funds. Store your recovery seed in a secure, fireproof location, and consider creating multiple copies stored in different safe places.

Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about Trezor hardware wallets, setup process, and security features.
A Trezor hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline. It's designed to provide maximum security for your digital assets by keeping your keys isolated from internet-connected devices, protecting you from online threats, malware, and phishing attacks.
Hardware wallets offer superior security compared to software wallets because your private keys are stored offline on a physical device. Software wallets on computers or phones are vulnerable to malware, viruses, and hacking attempts. With Trezor, your keys never touch the internet, making it virtually impossible for remote attackers to steal your funds.
If you lose your Trezor device, your funds are still safe as long as you have your recovery seed. You can purchase a new Trezor or compatible wallet, enter your recovery seed, and regain full access to all your cryptocurrencies. This is why it's crucial to keep your recovery seed secure and private.

Write your recovery seed on the provided cards and store them in a secure, fireproof location like a safe. Never store it digitally, take photos of it, or share it with anyone.
