Trezor Start — Begin Setting Up Your Trezor Safely

The ultimate guide to securing your cryptocurrency. Set up your Trezor hardware wallet in minutes and take complete control of your digital assets with military-grade security.

Fast-Paced Setup in 5 Easy Steps

Get your Trezor hardware wallet up and running in less than 15 minutes

1

Unbox & Connect

Carefully unbox your Trezor device. You'll find the hardware wallet, USB cable, recovery seed cards, and getting started guide. Connect your Trezor to your computer using the provided USB cable. Make sure you're using the official cable that came with your device for security purposes.

2

Install Trezor Suite

Navigate to trezor.io/start and download the official Trezor Suite application for your operating system. This is your command center for managing your wallet. Install the application and launch it. The Suite will automatically detect your connected Trezor device and guide you through the initialization process.

3

Create New Wallet

Choose 'Create new wallet' when prompted. Your Trezor will generate a unique recovery seed—a sequence of 12 or 24 random words. This seed is the master key to all your cryptocurrency. Write these words down exactly as shown, in the correct order, on the recovery card provided. Never take a photo or store it digitally.

4

Set PIN & Verify

Create a strong PIN code on your Trezor device. This adds an extra layer of security, protecting your wallet even if someone gains physical access to your device. The PIN is entered using a randomized keypad that changes each time, preventing keyloggers from capturing it. Verify your recovery seed by entering select words as prompted.

5

Secure Your Backup

Store your recovery seed card in a secure location—ideally a fireproof safe or safety deposit box. Consider creating multiple copies and storing them in different secure locations. Never share your seed with anyone, including Trezor support. With your seed secured, you're ready to receive and manage cryptocurrency safely!

6

Start Using Trezor

You're all set! Begin adding cryptocurrency accounts within Trezor Suite. You can receive funds by sharing your public address, send cryptocurrency securely by confirming transactions on your device, and explore advanced features like password manager and coin control. Your crypto journey with maximum security starts now!
