A step-by-step guide to get your Trezor® wallet running securely and smoothly.
Getting started with your Trezor® device is simple. Follow these easy steps to ensure your wallet is secure, backed up, and ready to manage your crypto safely.
Make sure you have your Trezor® device, USB cable, and a safe place to write down your recovery seed. Keep everything offline — do not store your seed on a computer or phone.
Connect your Trezor® to your computer or mobile device. The device screen will guide you through the initial setup. Verify all prompts directly on your device for safety.
Tip: The device itself confirms security; never rely solely on your computer screen.
Generate a new wallet. Your device will display a recovery seed — carefully write each word down in order. Keep multiple secure copies offline.
Pick a PIN you can remember but that is hard to guess. Optionally, set a passphrase to create a hidden wallet for extra protection. Remember: losing your passphrase means permanent loss.
Open your wallet app and pair the device. Conduct a small test transaction to ensure addresses match on the device screen and in the app before sending larger amounts.
Store your recovery seed securely and update your device firmware regularly. Avoid downloading unverified software. If your device or seed is compromised, move funds to a new, secure wallet immediately.
