Trezor Device Guide — Secure Setup Walkthrough

Always confirm you are using the authentic start hub. Begin from Trezor.io/start.

Why Protect with Trezor?

Your Trezor acts as a shield, isolating private keys from the internet. By signing transactions internally, it ensures your funds remain safe even if your computer is compromised. This layered approach is essential for anyone handling long‑term savings.

What You Need Ready

  • Device purchased directly or from verified resellers.
  • Stable computer and a reliable USB cable.
  • Pen and notebook or metal backup plate.
  • Access to Trezor.io/start.

Do not use public Wi‑Fi when configuring your wallet.

Quick Overview

Most users finish setup in under 15 minutes. The process covers firmware checks, wallet creation, recovery seed backup, and transaction testing. All links you need stem from the official start page.

Setup Instructions

Step 1 — Inspect Package

Look for tamper‑evident features. Contact support if the seal is broken.

Step 2 — Visit Official Page

Open Trezor.io/start and download Trezor Suite for your OS.

Step 3 — Connect and Update

Plug in the device, allow Suite to detect it, and approve any firmware updates directly on the device screen.

Step 4 — Create Wallet & Backup

Write down the seed words exactly as shown. Store in two safe, separate places. Never digitalize your recovery words.

Step 5 — Add Accounts

Enable accounts for your chosen coins. Verify addresses on your Trezor before sharing or receiving.

Step 6 — Test Transaction

Send a small amount in and out to verify everything works before transferring larger holdings.

Security Practices

  • Only download updates from official sources.
  • Never type your recovery phrase into a computer.
  • Consider an optional passphrase for hidden wallets.
  • Keep system software updated.
Avoid These Mistakes
  1. Storing seed in cloud drives.
  2. Relying on photos for backup.
  3. Skipping address verification on the device.
