Trezor.io/start – Official Start Page for Trezor Users

Your complete guide to setting up your Trezor hardware wallet and securing your cryptocurrency assets

Welcome to the official Trezor start page, your comprehensive resource for initializing and securing your Trezor hardware wallet. Whether you're new to cryptocurrency or an experienced user, this guide will walk you through the complete setup process to ensure your digital assets are protected with industry-leading security.

Trezor hardware wallets provide the highest level of security for your cryptocurrencies by keeping your private keys offline in a secure environment. The setup process is straightforward, but following each step carefully is crucial to maintaining the integrity of your wallet's security. Your journey to complete financial sovereignty begins here.

Before starting the setup process, ensure you have your Trezor device, the included USB cable, and a computer with internet access. It's also important to download Trezor Suite, the official desktop application that will guide you through the initialization process. Always ensure you're downloading software from the official Trezor website to avoid potential security risks.

1

Unbox & Connect

Carefully unbox your Trezor device and connect it to your computer using the provided USB cable. Ensure you're using the official cable to prevent any potential security risks.

2

Install Trezor Suite

Download and install Trezor Suite, the official desktop application for managing your Trezor device. Always verify you're downloading from the official Trezor website.

3

Initialize Device

Follow the on-screen instructions in Trezor Suite to initialize your device. This includes installing the latest firmware, which contains critical security updates.

4

Backup Recovery Seed

Your device will generate a unique recovery seed—write it down on the provided recovery card and store it in a secure location. This seed is your master backup.

During the initialization process, your Trezor device will generate a unique 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed. This seed is the master key to your cryptocurrency holdings. It's crucial to write it down exactly as shown on the device display and store it in a secure location away from digital devices. Never store your recovery seed digitally or share it with anyone.

After completing the setup, you can begin managing your cryptocurrency portfolio through Trezor Suite. The application allows you to send and receive transactions, check your portfolio balance, and explore additional features like coin control and label synchronization. Trezor supports thousands of cryptocurrencies and tokens, with new assets regularly added through firmware updates.
