Congratulations on your new Trezor device! Trezor Suite® is the official software for managing your cryptocurrency securely. Whether you're new to crypto or an experienced user, Trezor Suite® provides a user-friendly interface to store, manage, and send your digital assets safely. Let's get started on setting up your Trezor device with this simple step-by-step guide!
When you receive your Trezor device, you’ll find it in a sealed box. Inside, you'll find your Trezor hardware wallet, a USB cable, and a recovery seed card. This card contains 24 words that are crucial for the security of your wallet. Do not store these words online or in digital format! Keep them in a safe offline location.
Now that you’ve unboxed your device, it’s time to connect it. Plug your Trezor device into your computer or laptop using the provided USB cable. It is essential that you use a secure, trusted computer to avoid any potential security risks.
Once connected, open your browser and go to the official Trezor setup page: trezor.io/start®. The website will automatically recognize your device and guide you through the initial setup process.
Next, you'll be prompted to download and install Trezor Suite® on your computer. Trezor Suite® is the official application that manages your cryptocurrency securely. It’s available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can also use the web-based version, but the desktop version offers a more secure and feature-rich experience.
To download Trezor Suite®, go to the official Trezor Suite download page and follow the installation instructions for your operating system.
Once you’ve installed Trezor Suite®, open the software and connect your device. The first security step is to create a PIN code for your device. This PIN protects your device from unauthorized access, adding an extra layer of security to your wallet.
Make sure to choose a strong, memorable PIN. Avoid using easily guessable numbers, like "1234" or your birth year. Once your PIN is set, confirm it on your Trezor device.
Your recovery seed is a critical part of securing your cryptocurrency. It consists of 24 words that allow you to restore your wallet in case your device is lost, stolen, or damaged. Write down the words on the provided recovery seed card, and store it in a safe place, separate from your Trezor device. Never store your recovery seed online, as it is the only way to recover your funds in case of an emergency.
To ensure that you’ve written down the recovery seed correctly, Trezor Suite® will prompt you to confirm it by entering a few of the words. Double-check the words on your recovery card and confirm them on the device to ensure your wallet is properly backed up.
It’s crucial that this step is completed accurately to ensure you can restore your wallet in the future if needed. Always double-check before proceeding to the next step!
Once your recovery seed is confirmed, your Trezor device setup is complete! You can now begin using it to manage your cryptocurrency. Trezor Suite® allows you to view your portfolio, send and receive coins, and keep track of your transactions—all within a secure, encrypted environment.
Your Trezor wallet is now ready to use! Congratulations on setting up your device and securing your crypto assets!
