Starting your Trezor device is the first step toward taking full control of your digital assets. This guide provides a detailed walkthrough for safely setting up your wallet and understanding key security practices to protect your cryptocurrency.
Verify that your Trezor device box seal is intact and check for any damage. Ensure you have all components: the device, USB cable, recovery card, and documentation.
Use the included USB cable to connect the device to a secure computer. Download the latest version of Trezor Suite from the official website.
Follow on-screen prompts to install the latest firmware. Firmware updates ensure security and compatibility with supported cryptocurrencies.
Create a strong PIN. Avoid simple sequences. Use the randomized keypad on the device for enhanced security against shoulder surfing.
Write down your 24-word recovery seed on the provided card. Keep it offline and in a secure location. This seed is essential for device recovery.
Trezor will ask you to confirm your recovery seed. Correct confirmation ensures that your backup is accurate and complete.
Once setup is complete, connect to Trezor Suite to send, receive, and manage cryptocurrencies securely. Your wallet is now fully operational.
Yes, using your recovery seed, you can restore your wallet on another Trezor or compatible wallet. Always keep the seed safe.
Reset the device and recover your wallet using your recovery seed. Do not attempt guessing the PIN multiple times as it may lock your device temporarily.
Trezor supports a wide variety of popular cryptocurrencies. Visit the official website for a complete list.
