Your complete guide to setting up the world's most trusted hardware wallet
Welcome to your Trezor hardware wallet setup journey. This comprehensive guide will walk you through every step of initializing your device, ensuring your cryptocurrencies remain secure and accessible only to you.
Begin by connecting your Trezor device to your computer using the provided USB cable. Visit trezor.io/start in your web browser to access the official setup wizard. The process is designed to be intuitive and secure, guiding you through firmware installation, device initialization, and recovery seed creation.
Important: Always ensure you're using the official Trezor website and never share your recovery seed with anyone. Your seed phrase is the master key to your cryptocurrency assets.
The setup process includes generating your unique recovery seed—a series of 12, 18, or 24 words that serve as your ultimate backup. Write these words down on the provided recovery card and store them in multiple secure locations. Never digitize your recovery seed or store it online.
After setup, you'll create a PIN code for device access and can optionally add a passphrase for additional security layers. The entire process typically takes 15-20 minutes and ensures your digital assets are protected by military-grade security measures.
Your Trezor device now acts as a secure vault for your private keys, allowing you to safely manage cryptocurrencies while keeping them offline and protected from online threats.
