Trezor.io — Start Your Secure Journey

A modern, stylish guide to initializing your Trezor device safely, setting up wallets, and protecting your digital assets.

Trezor wallets offer hardware-level security for your cryptocurrencies. When you start your Trezor journey, you engage with a system designed to protect your private keys from malware, phishing, and online compromise. This guide will walk you through every essential step, from initial setup to advanced security recommendations.

Start by unboxing your device carefully, verifying the holographic seal, and ensuring your device has not been tampered with. Never initialize your wallet on an untrusted computer. Always download the official Trezor Suite from trezor.io and avoid third-party downloads or unofficial firmware.

Seed Generation: Generate a new recovery seed offline on your device. Never store it digitally.
PIN Protection: Set a strong, unique PIN to prevent unauthorized access if the device is lost or stolen.
Passphrase: Optional passphrase adds an extra layer of security, effectively creating a hidden wallet.
Firmware Updates: Keep your device firmware up to date to benefit from security enhancements.

During setup, carefully write down your recovery seed on the provided recovery card. Store it in a safe, offline location. This seed is the only way to recover your wallet if the device is lost, stolen, or damaged. Never share your recovery seed online, and avoid storing it digitally.

Tip: After initialization, consider enabling passphrase protection and setting up a secondary PIN. These measures provide additional layers of protection, particularly against physical access attacks.

Connect your Trezor device to Trezor Suite to manage wallets, send and receive cryptocurrency, and monitor balances. Always verify addresses on the device screen before confirming transactions — never rely solely on the computer screen, as malware could alter transaction data.

For advanced users, Trezor supports hidden wallets, multiple accounts, and integration with third-party wallets. Each feature increases functionality but also requires attention to security principles. Always double-check your actions, confirm addresses on the device, and maintain backup of all critical data.

For support, visit the official Trezor Support Center. Never share your recovery seed or private keys with anyone claiming to be support.
