Welcome to Trezor! If you’re ready to protect your digital assets with one of the most trusted hardware wallets, you’re in the right place. Just follow these simple steps on Trezor.io/start to get set up quickly and securely. Let’s dive in!
1. Visit Trezor.io/start
Head over to Trezor.io/start to begin the setup. This page will guide you step-by-step to install any necessary software and get your Trezor device ready.
2. Install Trezor Suite 💻
Trezor Suite is the official software you’ll use to manage your crypto. Download Trezor Suite directly from the start page:
For Desktop: Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
For Web: Use the web version if needed, but the desktop app offers the most secure experience.
Once downloaded, open Trezor Suite, and you’ll see the welcome screen.
3. Connect Your Trezor Device
Connect your Trezor device to your computer with the USB cable provided. The Trezor Suite will recognize it and prompt you to continue.
4. Install Firmware
For first-time users, you may need to install firmware on your Trezor device:
Follow the on-screen prompts to install the latest firmware.
This step keeps your device safe with the most recent updates.
Reconnect the device if prompted.
5. Create a New Wallet
Once the firmware is installed, choose the option to create a new wallet.
You’ll receive a 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed—make sure to write this down and store it somewhere safe. This seed is essential for recovering your wallet if needed, so never share it or store it digitally.
6. Set Up Security
Now it’s time to secure your Trezor:
Choose a PIN: This adds an extra layer of security to your device.
Optional: Passphrase: If you’re an advanced user, a passphrase offers added protection on top of your recovery seed.
7. Add Your Cryptocurrency Accounts
With your Trezor secure, you’re ready to add your crypto accounts! Trezor Suite supports a variety of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and many more. Head over to Accounts to add the coins you plan to store.
8. Start Using Your Trezor Safely
Now you can:
Send and receive cryptocurrencies using Trezor Suite’s secure interface.
Track your portfolio easily within the app.
Verify details on your Trezor screen to ensure safe transactions.
Extra Tips for Security
Keep your recovery seed offline and consider storing it in multiple secure places.
Regularly update firmware for ongoing protection.
Stay alert: Only use the official Trezor Suite software, and beware of phishing sites or emails asking for your PIN or recovery seed.
With Trezor, you’re taking control of your crypto security like a pro. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with hardware protection, and happy investing!
