Secure your cryptocurrency assets with a Trezor hardware wallet by following this step-by-step guide.
Begin by unboxing your Trezor hardware wallet. Inside the box, you should find:
Ensure the packaging is intact and shows no signs of tampering. Trezor wallets are never shipped with pre-set passwords or recovery seeds. If yours includes one, do not use it and contact Trezor support immediately.
Once unboxed, go to https://trezor.io/start. This is the official setup page provided by Trezor. Select your device model to begin the step-by-step onboarding process.
Download and install Trezor Suite, the official app for managing your Trezor wallet. It allows you to:
Install it on your Windows, macOS, or Linux device, and connect your Trezor via the included USB cable.
When connected, Trezor Suite checks for firmware. If it's missing, you'll be prompted to install the latest version. Only install firmware through official Trezor sources.
Next, create a new wallet. Trezor will generate a unique recovery seed phrase (12, 18, or 24 words). Write it down on the provided recovery card and store it offline. Never save it digitally or share it online.
You'll be asked to confirm the phrase by re-selecting the words in the correct order.
Choose a secure PIN code to protect your device. Avoid easy combinations and do not reuse a code from other devices.
Once your wallet is ready, add crypto accounts in Trezor Suite. Supported assets include:
Select the desired coin, create an account, and you're ready to send or receive funds securely.
Keep your wallet secure with these essential tips:
Trezor devices are open-source, trusted, and designed for maximum crypto security. Your private keys never leave the device, making it immune to malware or browser-based attacks.
With Trezor, you're in full control of your crypto assets—without relying on third parties or custodial services.
