Welcome to Trezor.io/start—your hub for safely setting up and managing your Trezor hardware wallet! This guide will walk you through the setup process and provide tips for secure storage of your cryptocurrency.
Trezor is designed to be a secure, user-friendly way to store and manage digital assets. Setting up with Trezor.io/start takes only a few steps, ensuring your cryptocurrency is secure and accessible only to you.
When you receive your Trezor device, double-check that the packaging is intact and includes:
The Trezor hardware wallet
A USB cable for connecting to your computer
Recovery seed cards
Instructions from Trezor
Always buy directly from Trezor or an authorized seller to ensure authenticity and security.
Head over to Trezor.io/start to begin the setup process. The website provides clear guidance on connecting and setting up your Trezor. Here, you’ll find links to download Trezor Suite—the official software for managing your wallet and transactions.
Trezor Suite is essential for managing your device and transactions. It’s available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, or you can use the web version for more convenience.
Download: Choose the version for your operating system from Trezor.io/start.
Install: Follow the on-screen installation prompts, and then open Trezor Suite to begin setup.
Using the provided USB cable, connect your Trezor to your computer. Trezor Suite will automatically recognize the device and guide you through the remaining setup.
Important: Firmware Installation
When you first use your Trezor device, you may be prompted to install or update the firmware. This is essential for security.
Follow the on-screen prompts in Trezor Suite to install the latest firmware.
Confirm actions both on your device screen and in the Suite software.
After installation, disconnect and reconnect if prompted.
Once your firmware is up-to-date, you can create a new wallet. During this step, your Trezor will generate a 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed. This recovery seed is critical to your wallet's security:
Write down your recovery seed on the provided card.
Keep it safe and offline. Never share it with anyone, and never enter it online.
Your recovery seed is the only way to recover access to your wallet in case your device is lost or damaged.
After creating your wallet, Trezor Suite will prompt you to set up a PIN for additional security. This PIN will be required each time you use your Trezor.
Choose a strong, memorable PIN.
Avoid using easily guessed combinations like “1234” or “0000.”
For advanced security, you can add a passphrase on top of your PIN. This adds an extra layer of protection and is ideal if you store large amounts of cryptocurrency. However, be cautious—if you forget your passphrase, Trezor cannot recover it.
Once your wallet is created and secured, you can add cryptocurrency accounts within Trezor Suite. Trezor supports numerous digital assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and many others. Simply go to the “Accounts” tab in Trezor Suite and choose the assets you want to manage.
With everything set up, you can now securely send and receive funds. Trezor Suite makes it easy to:
Send: Enter the recipient’s wallet address, select the amount, and verify the transaction on your device screen.
Receive: Generate your unique receiving address in Trezor Suite, and share it with the sender.
Each transaction is verified by your Trezor device, ensuring you have full control over all outgoing transfers.
For maximum security, remember to:
Keep your firmware updated: Regularly check Trezor Suite for firmware updates, as Trezor releases these to improve security and add features.
Store your recovery seed safely: Consider backing it up in multiple secure locations if needed.
Beware of phishing: Only use Trezor.io and Trezor Suite for device management. Be cautious of any emails or websites that ask for your recovery seed or PIN.
For any questions or issues, the Trezor Support Center offers extensive guides, troubleshooting tips, and direct customer support. You can find articles on common questions, details about new features, and access live support if needed.
Setting up your Trezor device with Trezor.io/start ensures your cryptocurrency is secure and fully under your control. With Trezor’s security features and support, you can confidently manage your digital assets in one of the safest ways available today.
