We’ve designed this process to be simple, intuitive, and foolproof, ensuring that your digital assets are protected from the moment you unbox your device.
Your Trezor hardware wallet is more than a storage device—it’s your personal vault for the digital age. At trezor.io/start, we’ll help you activate it step by step.
What You’ll Need to Get Started
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
- Your new Trezor device (Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T).
- The USB cable included in the box.
- A computer or smartphone with internet access.
- A pen and paper for writing down your recovery seed phrase (critical for backup!).
Follow These Simple Steps to Set Up Your Trezor
1. Connect Your Device
Plug your Trezor into your computer using the provided USB cable. The device will power on automatically, and the screen will display a welcome message.
2. Install Trezor Suite
Download Trezor Suite, the official desktop and web application for managing your crypto. Always download Trezor Suite directly from trezor.io/start to avoid phishing sites.
3. Initialize Your Device
Trezor Suite will guide you through the setup process:
- Create a PIN: Set up a PIN code to protect your device from physical unauthorized access.
- Generate Your Recovery Seed: Your Trezor will display a unique 24-word recovery phrase. Write these words down in exact order on paper. This phrase is your master key—never share it, store it digitally, or lose it.
4. Install Cryptocurrency Firmware
Trezor Suite will automatically install the latest firmware and currency support, enabling you to manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other coins and tokens.
5. You’re Ready to Go!
Once setup is complete, you can:
- Receive crypto by generating secure addresses.
- Send transactions with confidence.
- Explore advanced features like staking and coin swapping.
