Whether you're new to cryptocurrency or an experienced investor, securing your digital assets is essential. The Trezor hardware wallet is a trusted solution for cold storage — offering security, control, and peace of mind. If you've just unboxed your Trezor device, you're only minutes away from setting up your secure wallet.
To get started, head over to the official setup page: 👉 https://trezor.io/start
This is the only verified and safe place to begin using your Trezor. Follow the step-by-step guide below to ensure a smooth and secure setup process.
After visiting Trezor.io/Start, connect your Trezor Model One, Model T, or Safe 3/Safe 5 to your computer using the supplied USB cable. Choose whether you want to use the desktop Trezor Suite app or the web version. For maximum security and full feature access, the desktop app is recommended.
You’ll be prompted to install the Trezor Bridge if it isn’t already installed. This tool allows your browser to communicate with your Trezor device securely.
Trezor devices ship without firmware for security reasons. Once connected, the setup screen will guide you to install the latest official firmware. This ensures your device is running the most secure and up-to-date software.
Never install firmware from any unofficial source.
You will now be asked to:
If this is your first time, choose “Create New Wallet.” The device will then generate a unique recovery seed, which is your only backup in case the device is lost or damaged.
Your Trezor will display a 12- or 24-word recovery phrase, one word at a time. Write it down carefully and keep it offline in a secure location. Do not store it digitally, take a screenshot, or share it online.
This seed is the key to your crypto. Anyone with access to it can steal your funds.
Next, you’ll set a PIN code to protect access to your device. The PIN adds another layer of security, making it harder for unauthorized users to interact with your wallet even if they physically have it.
Be sure to choose a code you’ll remember, but not something easily guessable.
Once your wallet is created, you’ll be taken to the Trezor Suite dashboard. From here, you can:
By following the steps at Trezor.io/Start, you’ve now created one of the most secure crypto environments possible. Whether you’re managing Bitcoin, Ethereum, or thousands of other tokens, your Trezor device ensures you remain in full control.
