Step-by-Step Trezor Wallet Setup
Welcome to ®Trezor.io/Start—your launchpad to robust cryptocurrency security. Your Trezor hardware wallet empowers you to store private keys offline, safe from malware and phishing. To set up, connect your device and visit the official suite. Carefully inspect packaging and holographic seals; do not proceed if tampered.
You'll be prompted to install the latest firmware. Next, you'll choose to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. For first-time users, "Create New Wallet" is recommended. Take your time to securely write your unique 12, 18, or 24-word recovery phrase on paper—this is the only way to restore your funds if the device is lost or damaged.[2][7]
After verifying your recovery backup directly on the device, set a PIN for daily wallet access. Activate your chosen cryptocurrencies in the Trezor Suite and you're ready to transact! Enable advanced security features like passphrase-protected wallets for layered privacy.
With your Trezor prepared, you'll access a full suite for managing, sending, and receiving coins, as well as integration with DeFi platforms. Regularly update your firmware and practice strict recovery phrase security for the utmost protection.[10]
