Welcome to Trezor: You're Now the Owner of a Trezor Hardware Wallet

Congratulations on taking one of the most important steps in securing your digital assets — becoming the owner of a Trezor hardware wallet. This device empowers you to take full control of your cryptocurrency, protecting it from online threats, scams, and unauthorized access. By visiting Trezor.io/start, you're beginning your journey into the world of self-custody and hardware-level security.

Below is a step-by-step guide to help you set up and use your Trezor device securely and confidently.

Why Choose a Trezor Hardware Wallet?

Unlike software wallets or exchanges, a Trezor hardware wallet stores your private keys offline. This means your keys — and thus your crypto — are never exposed to the internet, making it nearly immune to hacks, phishing attacks, and malware.

Key benefits include:

Step 1: Go to Trezor.io/start

Your first destination is Trezor.io/start. This is the official onboarding page provided by Trezor. Avoid third-party websites, as there are many phishing sites that mimic official ones to steal your crypto.

At this page, you’ll be prompted to select your device model:

Choose your model to begin the step-by-step setup guide.

Step 2: Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official desktop application for managing your Trezor device. It’s available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can download it directly from Trezor.io/start.

Trezor Suite provides:

Tip: Always download Trezor Suite from the official website. Avoid downloading software from unofficial sources.

Step 3: Connect Your Device

Once you’ve installed Trezor Suite, plug in your Trezor using the provided USB cable. Trezor Suite will automatically detect the device and guide you through the setup.

You may be prompted to:

Step 4: Create a New Wallet (or Recover an Existing One)

If you’re setting up a brand-new Trezor, choose “Create New Wallet.” The device will generate a recovery seed phrase, usually 12 or 24 words.

Important: Backup Your Recovery Seed

This seed is the only way to restore your wallet if the device is lost or damaged. Write it down on paper and store it in a safe place — never take a photo or store it digitally.

If you’re restoring an existing wallet, choose “Recover Wallet” and enter your recovery seed using the secure method provided.

Step 5: Set a PIN and Optional Passphrase

You’ll be asked to create a PIN to protect access to your Trezor. Choose a secure PIN that you can remember.

For added security, you can also enable a passphrase — an optional feature that adds another layer of encryption to your wallet. Be very careful: if you forget your passphrase, your wallet will be inaccessible.

Step 6: Add and Manage Your Crypto

Once set up, you can use Trezor Suite to:

Your private keys always remain on the device, and transactions must be manually confirmed using the physical buttons — an important security feature that protects you from unauthorized access.

Tips for Keeping Your Trezor Safe

You Now Own Your Crypto – Truly

Managing a hardware wallet might seem complex at first, but with Trezor’s tools and community support, you’ll quickly become confident in protecting your assets.
