Trezor is one of the most secure and trusted hardware wallets used to store cryptocurrencies offline. If you’ve just purchased a Trezor Model One or Model T, the first step is to initialize your device using https://trezor.io/start.
1. Visit trezor.io/start
Open a browser and go to trezor.io/start. This page will detect your device and guide you through the setup process.
2. Download Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is the official application for managing your crypto assets. Click on the download link for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux) and install the app.
3. Connect Your Device
Use the USB cable provided to connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer. Launch the Trezor Suite after installation.
4. Install Firmware
If it’s your first time using the device, you'll be prompted to install firmware. Trezor does not ship with pre-installed firmware to ensure security. Follow on-screen instructions to complete this step safely.
5. Create a New Wallet
Once the firmware is installed, select "Create new wallet." You will be given a recovery seed—a series of 12 or 24 words. Write this down carefully and store it offline in a secure place. Never take a photo or store it online.
6. Confirm Recovery Seed
Trezor will ask you to confirm your recovery seed. This step ensures you’ve backed up your wallet properly. If you ever lose your device, the recovery seed is the only way to restore access to your crypto.
7. Set Up PIN
To prevent unauthorized access, choose a secure PIN. Every time you connect your Trezor device, this PIN will be required.
8. Access Your Dashboard
Once setup is complete, you'll land on your dashboard in Trezor Suite, where you can add cryptocurrencies, monitor balances, send and receive funds, and connect to other services.
