Getting started with cryptocurrency means taking your security seriously — and that’s where Trézor® hardware wallets come in. As one of the most trusted names in crypto security, Trézor® offers hardware wallets that keep your private keys offline, safe from hackers and phishing attacks. Whether you’ve just unboxed your Trézor Model One® or Trézor Model T®, the official starting point is always Trezor.io/Start.
This comprehensive guide walks you through everything you need to know to set up your Trézor® device securely and efficiently.
🔗 Step 1: Visit the Official Site – Trezor.io/Start®
Before connecting your new device, head to the official Trézor setup page:
👉 https://trezor.io/start
Here, you’ll find:
- Verified links to download Trézor Suite®
- Official firmware installation guides
- Security tips and warnings
- Video tutorials for every step
⚠️ Important: Only use the official site to avoid counterfeit firmware, phishing attempts, or malicious apps. Never search for “Trezor setup” on search engines — always type the URL directly or use a trusted link.
📦 Step 2: Unbox and Verify Your Device
Your Trézor package should include:
- 1x Trézor Model One® or Trézor Model T®
- USB cable (USB-A to micro-USB or USB-C)
- Recovery seed cards
- Getting started guide
- Trézor-branded stickers
💡 Check for tampering: Trézor devices are shipped in tamper-evident packaging. If you notice anything suspicious, contact Trézor support before proceeding.
💻 Step 3: Download and Install Trézor Suite®
Trézor Suite® is the official software to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio with maximum privacy and control. You can download Trézor Suite® for:
- Windows
- macOS
- Linux
Once installed, open Trézor Suite® and connect your device to begin the guided setup process.
🌐 Prefer using a browser? Use Trezor Suite Web®, but for enhanced privacy and control, the desktop version is recommended.
🔐 Step 4: Create a New Wallet and Backup Recovery Seed
When prompted by Trézor Suite®, choose “Create New Wallet” on your device. Next, you'll be guided through generating and saving your recovery seed phrase.
- Model One®: 24-word recovery seed
- Model T®: 12- or 24-word recovery seed
🧠 Write it down on the provided recovery sheet — never store it digitally. This seed phrase is the only way to recover your crypto if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged.
🚫 Do not share it with anyone, including Trézor support. No legitimate service will ever ask for it.
🔒 Step 5: Set Up PIN Code and Optional Passphrase
Once the wallet is created:
- Choose a secure PIN (4–9 digits) directly on your device
- Optionally, enable a passphrase — an advanced feature that creates a hidden wallet for added security
These features protect your device from unauthorized physical access.
🧾 Step 6: Add Crypto Accounts
You can now add supported coins and tokens in Trézor Suite®. Choose from:
- Bitcoin (BTC)
- Ethereum (ETH)
- Litecoin (LTC)
- Cardano (ADA)
- ERC-20 tokens and many more
Install coin-specific apps on your device and create corresponding accounts in Trézor Suite®.
💡 You can organize and name your accounts to manage multiple wallets and portfolios.
💸 Step 7: Send and Receive Crypto Securely
Trézor Suite® makes it easy to transact:
To receive:
- Click “Receive” and select the account
- Verify the receiving address on your Trézor screen
- Copy and share it with the sender
To send:
- Click “Send” and enter the recipient’s address
- Choose network fees (low/medium/high or custom)
- Confirm and approve the transaction on your device
✅ Every transaction requires physical confirmation, keeping your assets protected from remote attacks.
