Welcome to Trezor.io/Start - your complete guide to setting up the world's most secure hardware wallet. Protect your cryptocurrency assets with industry-leading security technology.
Follow these detailed instructions to properly set up your Trezor hardware wallet and secure your cryptocurrency assets.
Begin your Trezor setup journey by navigating to the official Trezor.io/Start website. This is your dedicated starting point for setting up any Trezor hardware wallet device.
The Trezor.io/Start page will automatically detect your device model and provide specific instructions tailored to your Trezor hardware wallet.
Always ensure you're on the official Trezor.io website to avoid phishing attempts. Check for the secure HTTPS connection in your browser.
Download and install Trezor Bridge, the communication tool that enables your Trezor device to securely connect with supported web browsers.
Trezor Bridge runs in the background and facilitates encrypted communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and web interfaces like the Trezor Wallet.
Trezor Bridge is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The installation process is quick and requires a browser restart.
Connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer using the provided USB cable. For Trezor Model T, you may need a USB-C to USB-A adapter.
Your Trezor device will display a welcome message. Follow the on-screen instructions on both your device and the Trezor Wallet interface.
If this is your first time using the device, you'll need to install firmware. The Trezor Wallet will guide you through this process.
Follow the prompts to create a new wallet on your Trezor device. You'll be guided through the process of generating your unique recovery seed.
Your Trezor device will generate a 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed. This is the master key to your cryptocurrency wallet and must be protected.
Never digitize your recovery seed. Write it down on the provided recovery card and store it in a secure, offline location.
Create a PIN code to protect physical access to your Trezor device. The PIN is entered using the randomized number matrix on your Trezor screen.
The randomized matrix prevents keyloggers from capturing your PIN. After three incorrect attempts, the device will wipe itself for security.
Choose a PIN that's easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess. Avoid simple sequences like 1234 or repeated numbers.
Once setup is complete, you can access your Trezor Wallet through wallet.trezor.io. Your device must be connected to view balances and make transactions.
Your Trezor device will be required to confirm all transactions. This ensures your private keys never leave the secure hardware environment.
Consider doing a test recovery with your seed phrase to ensure you've recorded it correctly before transferring significant funds.
