Setting up your Trezor wallet is an essential step to protecting your cryptocurrency from online threats. This guide walks you through the secure setup process so you can confidently store, manage, and safeguard your digital assets offline.
Avoid public Wi-Fi and make sure your environment is private.
Examine packaging to ensure it hasn’t been tampered with. Trezor devices come sealed for safety. If anything looks suspicious, do not continue until you confirm authenticity.
Connect your Trezor to your computer using the included cable. The device will prompt you to begin setup.
Follow on-screen instructions to create a brand-new secure wallet.
Set a unique PIN — avoid simple patterns or common numbers.
Your Trezor will generate a recovery seed (12-24 words). Write them down carefully in order on the provided recovery sheet.
This phrase is the master key to your crypto — protect it above all else.
To manage your crypto and access wallet features, install Trezor Suite software on your device. Confirm the installer source is legitimate and device firmware is verified during setup.
Once your wallet is initialized, add assets you wish to manage. Each supported crypto can be safely stored and transacted via your Trezor while private keys remain offline.
Your wallet security is only as strong as your backup habits.
If your Trezor is lost or damaged, restore your wallet on a new device using your seed phrase. Follow the same secure process and enter the recovery words exactly.
