Welcome to Trezor!
Congratulations on purchasing your Trezor hardware wallet! Whether you chose the Trezor Model One or Model T, you’ve taken the first step toward truly securing your cryptocurrency with offline cold storage.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the easy step-by-step process of setting up your Trezor wallet using the official website: trezor.io/start.
🛠️ Step-by-Step Setup Instructions
- Visit the Official Setup Page
Open your browser and go to trezor.io/start. Make sure you're on the official website to avoid phishing.
- Select Your Trezor Model
Choose either Trezor Model One or Model T depending on your device.
- Install Trezor Suite
Download and install the Trezor Suite app for desktop or use the web version. This app lets you manage your crypto safely.
- Connect Your Device
Use the USB cable to connect your Trezor to your computer. Trezor Suite will detect your device and guide you through the setup.
- Install Firmware
If this is your first time using Trezor, the device will ask you to install firmware. Just follow the prompts in Trezor Suite.
- Create a New Wallet
Click “Create new wallet” and follow the instructions. This will generate a unique set of private keys stored securely on your Trezor.
- Write Down Your Recovery Seed
Your 12 or 24-word seed phrase is the most important backup. Write it down and store it offline. Do not take a photo or save it digitally.
- Set a PIN
Create a secure PIN on your Trezor device. You’ll use this PIN every time you unlock the wallet.
- Start Using Your Wallet
Your Trezor is now ready! Use Trezor Suite to receive, send, and manage your crypto securely.
✨ Pro Tips for New Users
