Getting Started with Your Trezor Hardware Wallet
Setting up your Trezor hardware wallet is the first step toward securing your cryptocurrency. Trezor devices provide an easy and safe way to store your digital assets offline. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to get started using trezor.io/start.

Step 1: Download Trezor Suite
The Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web app used to manage your Trezor device. It allows you to send, receive, and store crypto safely.
Visit trezor.io/start

Choose your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux)
Download the Trezor Suite desktop app
If you don’t want to install anything, you can choose to use the web version by clicking “Continue in browser.”
Step 2: Connect Your Trezor Device
Once the app is ready, plug your Trezor device (such as Trezor Model T or Trezor Model One) into your computer using the included USB cable. You may be asked to confirm the connection on your device screen.
The app will detect the device and guide you through the setup process.

Step 3: Set Up a New Wallet
When prompted, choose to create a new wallet. The Trezor Suite will generate a unique recovery seed for you. This is a 12, 18, or 24-word phrase that acts as a backup of your wallet.

Important:
Write this phrase down on paper and store it somewhere safe and offline. Never share it online or take a picture of it. Anyone with access to your recovery seed can take control of your crypto.

Step 4: Secure Your Device
To increase security, you’ll be asked to set a PIN for your device. This PIN will be required each time you use your Trezor.
Choose a PIN that is easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess. Avoid using common numbers like 1234 or your birth year.

Step 5: Add and Manage Your Crypto
After completing the setup, you can start sending cryptocurrency to your wallet address. In Trezor Suite:
Click on “Receive” to get your public wallet address
Copy the address and use it to send funds from an exchange or another wallet
To send crypto, go to the “Send” tab and enter the recipient’s address

Trezor Suite supports many popular coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins, and allows you to track balances and activity easily.

Step 6: Get Expert Help (Optional)
If you prefer assistance, Trezor offers a 1-on-1 guided setup with a specialist. This 60-minute online session will help you set up your wallet step-by-step.
You can schedule a session directly from the start page if needed.
