Start your Trezor journey with a simple, secure setup process.

Introduction to Trezor Setup

The Trezor hardware wallet is a safe and secure way to store your cryptocurrency. Setting up your device is straightforward and can be done in just a few steps. Below, we’ll guide you through the process to ensure that your Trezor device is ready to keep your crypto assets safe.

Step 1: Unbox Your Trezor Device

What’s in the Box?

When you open your Trezor device box, you’ll find the following items:

Ensure that all of these items are present before proceeding to the next step.

Step 2: Connect Your Trezor Device

Now, connect your Trezor device to your computer using the USB cable provided in the box. Your device will power up automatically. If it doesn't, try reconnecting the cable.

Access the Trezor Website

Once your Trezor device is connected, visit Trezor.io/Start to begin the setup process. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Step 3: Choose Your Language

Select the language you wish to use during the setup process. This will help ensure the interface is easier to understand and use.

Step 4: Create a PIN

To keep your device secure, you will be asked to create a PIN. This PIN is essential for accessing your wallet and performing transactions. Choose a PIN that is hard to guess but easy for you to remember.

Step 5: Write Down Your Recovery Seed

Why Is This Important?

The recovery seed is a backup of your Trezor wallet. If you ever lose access to your device or it gets stolen, the recovery seed will allow you to restore your funds. Write down your recovery seed on the provided cards and store them in a secure location. Never share this seed with anyone!

Step 6: Backup and Verify Your Seed

After writing down your recovery seed, you’ll need to verify it. Trezor will ask you to confirm each word in the correct order. This process ensures that you have properly recorded the backup seed.

Step 7: Final Setup and Security Features

Advanced Features

Once you’ve completed the basic setup, you can explore advanced security features such as passphrase protection and two-factor authentication (2FA). Enabling these features adds an extra layer of protection to your device and crypto assets.
