Why Choose a Hardware Wallet?

Key Benefits

Using the official Trezor.io/start page ensures that your setup process is authentic and free from third-party risks.
Getting Started: Step-by-Step Guide
Setting up your Trezor device is simple and straightforward. Follow the steps below carefully to ensure maximum security.
Step 1: Visit the Official Website
Always begin by navigating directly to Trezor.io/start using a trusted browser. Avoid clicking on links from emails or advertisements to prevent phishing attempts.
Step 2: Connect Your Device
Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the provided USB cable. Make sure the device packaging was sealed and untampered with before use.
Step 3: Install Firmware
If your device does not have firmware installed, you will be guided through the official installation process. Always install firmware only through the official interface.
Step 4: Create a New Wallet
During setup, you will be asked to create a new wallet. This process includes generating a recovery seed, which is crucial for restoring your funds if the device is lost or damaged.
Recovery Seed: Your Backup Key
The recovery seed is a list of words generated during wallet setup. This seed is the only way to recover your assets if something happens to your device.
Best Practices
- Write the recovery seed on paper
- Store it in a safe, offline location
- Never share it with anyone
- Do not store it digitally or online
Anyone with access to your recovery seed can control your funds. Keep it private and secure at all times.
Managing Your Crypto Securely
After setup, you can manage your cryptocurrencies through the official Trezor interface. You can send, receive, and track your assets while maintaining full control over your private keys.
Always confirm transaction details directly on your Trezor device screen before approving any action.
