🔐 Trézor Wallet: | (Official Site) | Getting Started®

Welcome to your trusted guide for setting up the Trézor Wallet. This hardware wallet is one of the most secure ways to store and manage cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more. In this article, you’ll learn how to properly set up and start using your Trézor wallet – all in a few easy steps. 🛡️

⚠️ Important: Only use Trézor devices and software from the official website. Avoid third-party sellers and apps to prevent scams or phishing.

📦 What Comes with Your Trézor Wallet?

🔘 The Trézor hardware wallet (Model One or Model T)
📄 Recovery seed cards (for writing your backup phrase)
🔌 USB or USB-C cable
📘 Quick start guide
🎉 Trézor stickers (optional)

    🧐 Check that the box is sealed and the holograms are unbroken. If anything looks suspicious, do not use the device.
  

🔌 Step 1: Connect Your Device

Start by connecting your Trézor device to your computer using the USB cable. You should see a welcome message on the screen. Now follow these steps:

Open your browser and go to trezor.io/start
Select your model (Model One or Model T)
Install Trézor Suite (desktop app) or use the web version

    💡 Tip: Trézor Suite is the safest way to interact with your wallet. Avoid using unofficial apps or extensions.
  

🔄 Step 2: Update Firmware

If this is your first time using the device, you’ll likely need to update the firmware. This ensures that your device has the latest security patches.

Click “Install Firmware” in Trézor Suite
Wait for the update to complete
Do not disconnect the device during installation

🆕 Step 3: Create a New Wallet

After the firmware is installed, you’ll be asked to create a wallet:

Click Create New Wallet
Confirm the action on your device screen
The wallet will generate a 12-word or 24-word recovery seed

🔐 Do not share your recovery seed. This is your backup and should only be written on paper and stored offline.

    📝 Use the recovery cards provided to write down the words in order. Store the cards in a safe place — like a fireproof safe.
  

🔢 Step 4: Set Up PIN & Passphrase

Next, you'll set a PIN code for your device. This PIN prevents unauthorized access if someone physically steals your wallet. You can also enable a passphrase for added security.

🔒 Use a unique 6-9 digit PIN
🧠 The passphrase acts like a “25th word” – it’s optional, but very powerful
❗ Forgetting your passphrase means losing access to your funds

💼 Step 5: Using Your Wallet

With your wallet set up, you can now use Trézor Suite to manage your cryptocurrencies:

📥 Receive crypto by generating a verified wallet address
📤 Send crypto while confirming all details on your device screen
📊 Track balances and transactions safely

    👁️ Always verify addresses on the Trézor screen before sending. This helps prevent malware attacks from modifying addresses.
  

🛡️ Security Tips

🔍 Never enter your recovery seed online — only on the physical device
🔁 Keep your firmware up to date via Trézor Suite
🧯 Store seed backups in multiple secure places (not digital files)
🧑‍💻 Use a trusted, malware-free computer when managing crypto
📴 Disconnect your wallet when not in use

🤔 FAQ
