Complete step-by-step setup guide for your new Trezor hardware wallet. Secure your cryptocurrency assets with enterprise-grade protection in minutes.
Follow these simple steps to initialize your Trezor hardware wallet and secure your cryptocurrency assets
Install the official Trezor Suite application on your computer. This secure desktop application will guide you through the entire setup process and manage your cryptocurrency portfolio.
Ensure you download Trezor Suite only from the official Trezor.io website to avoid phishing attempts and malicious software.
Connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer using the provided USB cable. For Trezor Model T, you may need a USB-C adapter depending on your computer ports.
Your device screen should light up and display the Trezor logo. If this is your first time using the device, you'll see a welcome message prompting you to begin setup.
Trezor Suite will automatically detect your device and prompt you to install the latest firmware. Firmware updates include security enhancements and new features for your hardware wallet.
The installation process takes approximately 2-3 minutes. Do not disconnect your Trezor device during firmware installation to avoid potential issues.
Follow the on-screen instructions to create a new wallet. Your Trezor device will generate a unique recovery seed - 12, 18, or 24 random words that represent your private keys.
Write down your recovery seed on the provided card and store it in a secure location. This seed is the only way to recover your funds if your device is lost or damaged.
Create a secure PIN code to protect your Trezor device from unauthorized access. The PIN is entered using the randomized number matrix on your device screen to prevent keyloggers.
Choose a PIN that you can remember but is difficult for others to guess. Your PIN adds an additional layer of security to your hardware wallet protection.
Trezor will prompt you to verify your recovery seed by selecting the words in the correct order. This crucial step ensures you've properly recorded your recovery phrase.
Successfully completing this verification confirms you can restore your wallet if needed. Never skip this important security check during Trezor device initialization.
