Getting Started with Trezor®
Welcome to Trezor.io/Start®, your official portal to set up, secure, and manage your Trezor® hardware wallet. This guide will help you understand the step-by-step process of starting up your device, installing the required software, creating your wallet, and ensuring that your crypto assets remain protected at all times.
Step 1: Connect Your Device
Begin by unboxing your Trezor® hardware wallet and connecting it to your computer or mobile device using the provided USB cable. Once connected, navigate to Trezor.io/Start® where you will be prompted to install the official Trezor Suite software.
Step 2: Install Trezor Suite
Download and install the Trezor Suite from the official website. This software allows you to manage cryptocurrencies, update firmware, and perform secure transactions with ease. Always verify that you are downloading from the official Trezor® domain to avoid security risks.
Step 3: Firmware Update
Your new device may require a firmware update. The Trezor Suite will automatically guide you through the update process. Ensure you do not disconnect the device during this process to prevent installation errors.
Step 4: Create a New Wallet
Once your device is updated, you can create a new wallet. Trezor® generates a unique recovery seed phrase (12 to 24 words) which serves as the backup for your wallet. Write this down on paper and store it in a safe, offline location. Never share it online or with anyone.
Step 5: Secure Your Recovery Seed
The recovery seed is the most important element of your Trezor® wallet security. If your device is lost, stolen, or damaged, this seed allows you to restore access to your funds. Consider using additional accessories like a Cryptosteel® capsule for maximum durability and protection.
Step 6: Start Managing Your Assets
After completing the setup, you are ready to send, receive, and manage your digital assets securely. Trezor Suite supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies, giving you a user-friendly interface for tracking balances, generating addresses, and verifying transactions.
