Your complete guide to setting up the world's most secure hardware wallet for cryptocurrency storage
Trezor is the original and most trusted hardware wallet, providing secure storage for your cryptocurrencies. By keeping your private keys offline in a secure device, Trezor protects your digital assets from online threats.
Your private keys never leave the device, ensuring complete protection from online threats.
Works with all major cryptocurrencies and integrates with popular wallet interfaces.
As the first hardware wallet, Trezor has years of proven security and reliability.
Open-source firmware allows security experts to verify the code and ensure its integrity.
Follow these steps to set up your Trezor device and ensure your cryptocurrencies are stored securely.
Carefully open your Trezor package and verify that all components are present. Your package should include the Trezor device, USB cable, recovery seed cards, and lanyard.
Always purchase Trezor devices directly from the official Trezor shop to avoid tampered devices.
Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the provided USB cable. The device screen should light up, indicating it's receiving power.
Trezor Bridge is a communication tool that allows your Trezor device to work with web browsers. It will be automatically detected and installed when you connect to the Trezor web interface.
When connecting for the first time, you'll be prompted to initialize your device. This process will set up your wallet and generate your unique recovery seed.
Set up a secure PIN to protect physical access to your device. The PIN is entered using the randomized number matrix on the Trezor screen to prevent keyloggers from capturing it.
Your recovery seed is the most important piece of information for your wallet. Write down the 12, 18, or 24-word recovery phrase on the provided cards and store them in a secure location.
Never share your recovery seed with anyone. Store it securely offline. Anyone with access to your recovery seed can access your cryptocurrencies. Never store your seed digitally or take photos of it.
Your Trezor hardware wallet consists of several key components that work together to keep your cryptocurrencies secure.
