Welcome to Trezor.io/start, your go-to resource for setting up your Trezor hardware wallet. Whether you’re new to cryptocurrency or a seasoned investor, securing your digital assets is paramount. Trezor hardware wallets provide robust security features to protect your investments from cyber threats. This guide will walk you through the initial setup process, ensuring your wallet is ready for use.
When you receive your Trezor device, carefully unbox it. Inside, you’ll find the hardware wallet, a USB cable, a recovery seed card, and an instruction manual. Ensure all components are present and in good condition.
Using the provided USB cable, connect your Trezor device to your computer. Visit trezor.io/start to download the Trezor Bridge, which facilitates communication between your Trezor and your computer’s web browser.
Next, download and install the Trezor Suite application from the official Trezor website. Trezor Suite is a comprehensive interface that allows you to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio, perform transactions, and enhance security settings.
Open Trezor Suite and follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your device. You will be prompted to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. Choose to create a new wallet, and Trezor will generate a unique recovery seed.
Your recovery seed is a critical component of your wallet’s security. Write down the 12 to 24-word seed on the provided card and store it in a safe place. Do not share your recovery seed with anyone, as it can be used to access your funds.
After securing your recovery seed, complete the setup by setting a PIN for your Trezor device. The PIN adds an additional layer of security, preventing unauthorized access.
Congratulations! Your Trezor hardware wallet is now set up and ready to use. Visit Trezor.io/start for more detailed guides and resources to maximize your device’s security features. Start managing your cryptocurrency securely and confidently with Trezor.
