Secure your crypto assets with Trezor hardware wallets — easy setup, full control, and maximum protection.
Trezor Wallet is the official hardware wallet for managing cryptocurrency securely offline. Developed with a strong focus on privacy and control, it allows users to own and safeguard their digital assets independently. Whether you are new to crypto or an experienced investor, setting up your Trezor Wallet properly is crucial to ensuring your coins remain protected against hacks and malware.
The setup process through trezor.io/start helps verify your hardware, install Trezor Suite, and generate a recovery seed for emergency wallet recovery. This guide covers all essential steps, security practices, and troubleshooting solutions.
Before connecting your device, check that the packaging is sealed and untampered. Never use a device that appears pre-initialized or has broken seals. Trezor packaging includes holograms to confirm authenticity.
Use the provided USB cable to connect your Trezor wallet to your computer. Avoid using external USB hubs or damaged cables that may interrupt the connection.
Launch Trezor Suite — the secure companion app for managing your wallet. It handles device setup, firmware updates, and crypto transactions within an encrypted environment.
Your Trezor wallet may require the latest firmware version before use. Follow the on-screen steps to install it securely. Never install firmware from unofficial sources to avoid malicious modifications.
During setup, the device will display a 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed. Write it down on paper and store it in a safe place offline. This recovery seed is your only way to restore your wallet if lost or damaged.
Secure your Trezor wallet by setting a unique PIN. Avoid simple combinations and never share this PIN with anyone. If entered incorrectly multiple times, the wallet automatically wipes for safety.
Ensure the USB cable is working properly and reconnect your device. Restart Trezor Suite or try another port.
Unplug and reconnect your wallet, then retry installation. Ensure a stable internet connection and close any interfering apps.
Restore your wallet using your 12/18/24-word recovery seed. Without this seed, funds cannot be recovered.
