Setting up your Trezor hardware wallet is a big step toward securing your cryptocurrency! With Trezor, your digital assets are kept safe and under your control, protected from online threats. Let’s walk you through the process so you can confidently manage and protect your crypto holdings.
If you haven’t yet bought a Trezor device, you’ll want to decide between the two models:
Trezor Model One: A reliable, budget-friendly choice that supports most major cryptocurrencies.
Trezor Model T: The premium version with a color touchscreen and support for an even wider range of digital assets.
Always buy from the official Trezor website or a trusted reseller to ensure your device is authentic.
Go to Trezor.io/start to get started. Here, you’ll find the official setup guide, which walks you through every step in detail. Follow along as we go through the basics below.
Trezor Suite is the official app for managing your wallet and cryptocurrency holdings. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, this app gives you the tools to monitor, send, and receive your crypto securely. The Suite also has a web version, though the desktop version is recommended for the best security.
Visit Trezor.io/start and download the Suite for your operating system.
Once downloaded, open the file to install it, and you’ll be guided through the setup.
Now it’s time to connect your Trezor to your computer using the USB cable provided. Open the Trezor Suite, and it will detect your device, ready for setup.
When you first connect your Trezor, it may prompt you to install firmware. Firmware is what makes your device function securely and protects it from potential threats.
Follow the prompts on both your computer and the Trezor device.
Confirm the installation, and once complete, disconnect and reconnect your device if prompted.
After the firmware is updated, it’s time to create your new wallet.
Create a new wallet: This option will generate a recovery seed—a unique series of 12, 18, or 24 words that are the key to recovering your wallet.
Important: Write down your recovery seed on the paper provided. Keep this paper safe and secure; it’s your only way to recover your crypto if something happens to your Trezor device. Never store your recovery seed digitally or share it with anyone.
Now you can set up a PIN code, which you’ll use to unlock your Trezor each time. Choose something memorable but not easy for others to guess.
For added security, you can set up an optional passphrase—an extra password that enhances security, especially useful for advanced users who want an additional layer of protection.
With your Trezor all set up, it’s time to add your favorite cryptocurrencies!
Open the Accounts section in Trezor Suite to add the specific coins you want to manage. Trezor supports popular options like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and many more.
Once added, you can use the Trezor Suite to easily send and receive crypto, view your portfolio, and monitor current market values.
Your Trezor is now your go-to hub for safely managing your crypto. With the Trezor Suite, you can:
Send and receive crypto seamlessly with added security.
Monitor your portfolio to track your assets’ value.
Stay safe with Trezor’s built-in security checks: Verify all transaction details on the Trezor screen to ensure everything is as expected.
Backup your recovery seed by storing it in a safe, secure place.
Stay up-to-date with firmware updates to protect your device against new threats.
Be cautious of phishing attempts: Always use the official Trezor Suite app, and avoid sharing your recovery seed or PIN.
Getting started with Trezor through Trezor.io/start (Version 24.9.2) is simple, safe, and a big step in protecting your cryptocurrency. With Trezor, you can rest assured that your assets are secured against online risks. Just remember to follow each step carefully, and you’ll have a secure, user-friendly experience managing your digital assets.
