Quick, secure setup for your hardware wallet

Overview

What is a Trezor hardware wallet?

A Trezor hardware wallet provides a secure, offline place to store your cryptocurrency private keys. It keeps your keys isolated from internet-connected devices so that signing transactions happens in a protected environment. This presentation guides you through the essentials of getting started, step-by-step.

Why use Trezor?

Before you begin

What you’ll need

Start here for official guidance and downloads: https://trezor.io/start

Step-by-step setup

1. Visit the official start page

Open your browser and go to the official link: https://trezor.io/start. This page contains the native Trezor Suite or web steps and the latest firmware — always use the official site.

2. Connect your device

Use the supplied cable to connect your Trezor to the computer. Follow the on-screen prompts. If prompted to install Trezor Suite, choose the platform version that matches your operating system at https://trezor.io/start.

3. Install firmware and create a wallet

The setup flow will update firmware if needed and guide you to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. Choose “Create a new device” to generate a fresh seed phrase. Securely write down the seed the device shows you — this is the only backup. For official steps see https://trezor.io/start.

4. Set a PIN and name

Choose a strong PIN directly on the device. The PIN prevents unauthorized use even if the hardware is stolen. Optionally set a device name to distinguish multiple wallets.

5. Install Trezor Suite (optional)

Trezor Suite provides a modern interface for portfolio management and transaction signing. Download it via the official start page: https://trezor.io/start.

Best practices

Seed security

Store your recovery seed offline, in multiple secure locations. Never share it digitally or enter it into a website or app other than your Trezor during a legitimate recovery process. For guidance, consult https://trezor.io/start.
