Setting up your Trezor hardware wallet is a smart step toward keeping your crypto assets safe. Whether you're using Trezor Model One or Model T, this guide will walk you through how to start using your device with confidence — beginning at Trezor.io/Start, the official setup page.
Hardware wallets like Trezor keep your private keys offline, making it nearly impossible for hackers to steal your crypto remotely. Unlike software wallets, which are connected to the internet, hardware wallets offer physical confirmation for every transaction.
Before starting the setup at Trezor.io/Start, make sure you have everything you need. You’ll need your Trezor device, a USB cable, a secure computer, and a quiet place to write down your recovery seed.
Begin by plugging your Trezor device into your computer. Then visit Trezor.io/Start. This page will direct you to download Trezor Suite — the official application for managing your wallet.
Trezor Suite works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It provides a secure interface to create and manage wallets, send and receive crypto, and view your portfolio.
When you first connect your Trezor, the device won’t have firmware installed. This is a security feature to ensure you install it yourself. Follow the prompts in Trezor Suite to install the latest firmware. Once that’s complete, you can create a new wallet or recover an existing one.
For first-time users, choose “Create new wallet.” Trezor will then generate a 12- or 24-word recovery seed. This is your only backup — if you lose it, your funds could be gone forever.
The recovery seed is shown only once during setup. Write it down exactly as displayed and store it offline in a secure place. Never take a photo or store it digitally — this exposes your funds to serious risk.
After securing your recovery phrase, you'll be prompted to set a PIN. This adds another layer of protection — your Trezor can’t be accessed without it. Once you’ve set your PIN, you're ready to use Trezor Suite to manage your crypto.
In Trezor Suite, you can:
If this is your first time using a hardware wallet, take your time and don’t rush. The interface is designed to be simple, and you can always revisit Trezor.io/Start if you need a refresher or help.
Setting up your Trezor with help from the official Trezor.io/Start page gives you peace of mind in an often risky digital world. With proper use and secure backup practices, your Trezor becomes a fortress for your crypto holdings.
Bookmark the setup page and check for updates regularly to keep your device — and your investments — safe.
