Set Up Your Trezor® Device Securely

Welcome to Trezor.io/Start. This guide will walk you step by step through the process of initializing your Trezor® hardware wallet safely. Begin by unboxing your device and verifying the authenticity of the package. Ensure that the seal is intact and that there are no signs of tampering.

Connect your Trezor® to a trusted computer or mobile device using the provided USB cable. Visit Trezor.io/Start to begin the official setup process. The website will guide you to install the Trezor Bridge, which is necessary for communication between your device and the browser.

During setup, your Trezor® will generate a recovery seed — a crucial backup of your wallet. Write down this seed carefully on the provided recovery card. Never store it digitally or share it with anyone. This seed ensures you can recover your funds if the device is lost or damaged.

Next, choose a secure PIN directly on the device. This PIN protects your Trezor® from unauthorized access. The device interface will guide you through PIN creation with a simple, intuitive layout. Confirm your PIN carefully, as it will be required each time you access your wallet.

Once the device is set up, you can access your dashboard on Trezor.io. Here you can add accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many other cryptocurrencies. Each transaction you initiate will require physical confirmation on your device, ensuring security against malware and phishing attempts.

Always keep your Trezor® firmware updated and follow security recommendations from Trezor.io. Your hardware wallet is designed to give you complete control over your crypto assets while maintaining the highest security standards.
