Welcome to Trezor – Your First Step to Secure Crypto Storage
Welcome to Trezor! You’ve just taken a big step toward securing your crypto assets with the world’s most trusted hardware wallet. Whether you’re just starting out or an experienced user, setting up your Trezor device is quick, easy, and designed with your security in mind.
Let’s guide you through setting up your Trezor device step by step—this is the first step in protecting your digital assets.
Set Up Your Trezor Wallet in 5 Simple Steps
With Trezor, your crypto is stored offline, making it immune to online threats. No one can access your funds without your physical device. Ready to get started? Here’s how to do it:
1. Unbox Your Trezor Device
When you open your Trezor box, you’ll find everything you need to get started:
Your Trezor device (Model One or Model T)
USB cable to connect your device (Model One or Model T)
A recovery seed card for backing up your wallet
Trezor stickers and quick start guides
Connect Your Trezor Device:
Trezor Model One: Plug the USB cable into your device and connect it to your computer.
Trezor Model T: Connect via USB to your computer, or use Bluetooth for wireless mobile setup.
Once you connect, your Trezor device will power up and be ready to begin setup.
2. Install Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is the app you’ll use to interact with your Trezor wallet. It lets you send, receive, and manage your crypto securely and easily.
How to Install Trezor Suite:
Visit trezor.io/start and download the Trezor Suite app for Windows, Mac, or Linux, or get it for iOS or Android.
Open the app and follow the instructions to connect your Trezor device.
Trezor Suite is designed for easy navigation and lets you manage all your crypto in one place.
3. Set Up Your Trezor Device
Now that your device is connected to Trezor Suite, follow these easy steps to get started:
Select Your Device: Choose whether you’re using Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T in Trezor Suite.
Choose Your Language: Select your preferred language on the device screen.
Create a PIN: Choose a 6-8 digit PIN to protect your device. You’ll use this PIN every time you access your Trezor wallet.
Confirm Your PIN: Enter it again to confirm.
Now your device is protected with a PIN code, making it harder for anyone to access your wallet without permission.
4. Back Up Your Recovery Seed
This step is critical! Your recovery seed is a list of 12 or 24 random words generated by your Trezor device. This is the only way to recover your crypto if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged.
Here’s What You Need to Do:
Write down your recovery seed: Your Trezor device will display 12 or 24 words. Write them down on the recovery seed card.
Store it safely: Keep this recovery seed in a secure offline location, such as a safe or lockbox. Never store it digitally (e.g., on your phone, cloud storage, or computer).
Never share your recovery seed: Anyone who has access to your recovery seed can access your crypto. Treat it like a password to your wallet.
Important: Your recovery seed is the key to your crypto. If you lose it, you lose access to your funds—so keep it safe and never share it!
5. Install Apps for Your Cryptocurrencies
Now that your Trezor wallet is set up, you’ll need to install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage. Trezor supports a wide range of coins and tokens.
Open Trezor Suite and navigate to the Manager tab.
Browse the list of supported coins (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and more).
Click Install next to each cryptocurrency you want to store.
Each cryptocurrency will have its own app installed on your device, giving you the ability to securely manage them all in one place.
Start Sending and Receiving Crypto
Your Trezor wallet is now ready to use. You can send and receive cryptocurrency directly from Trezor Suite with the highest level of security.
To Receive Cryptocurrency:
Open Trezor Suite and go to the Receive tab.
Select the cryptocurrency you want to receive.
A unique receiving address will appear. Verify the address on your Trezor device and share it with the sender.
To Send Cryptocurrency:
Go to the Send tab in Trezor Suite.
Enter the recipient’s address and the amount of crypto to send.
Review the transaction details on your Trezor device and confirm it.
Your Trezor device will securely sign the transaction, ensuring everything is correct.
Each transaction is confirmed on your Trezor device, meaning no one can tamper with your transactions.
Bonus: Tips for Extra Security
While you’re already on the right path, here are a few extra tips to keep your crypto as safe as possible:
Always verify transactions on your Trezor device screen: Double-check the recipient’s address and transaction amount before confirming.
Use a strong PIN: The stronger your PIN, the harder it is for someone to guess.
Enable 2FA (two-factor authentication): Add another layer of security to your Trezor Suite with two-factor authentication.
Store your recovery seed securely: It’s your only backup in case your device is lost or damaged.
