Setup Process

1

Connect Your Device

Connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer using the provided USB cable. Ensure you're using the original cable to avoid connection issues. Download and install Trezor Suite if you haven't already.

2

Initialize Device

Follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your device. Choose whether to create a new wallet or restore an existing one. For new wallets, the device will generate a unique random seed phrase.

3

Backup Recovery Seed

Write down the 24-word recovery seed shown on your device display. This is the most critical security step. Store it in a safe place offline. Never digitize your seed phrase or share it with anyone.

Security Tips

Always purchase your Trezor device directly from the official website to avoid tampered devices. Before setup, verify the authenticity seal on the packaging. Never share your PIN or recovery seed with anyone. Trezor support will never ask for this information. Enable passphrase encryption for additional security. Regularly update your device firmware to protect against newly discovered vulnerabilities. Use a strong, unique PIN that you haven't used elsewhere. Consider using a dedicated computer for cryptocurrency transactions to minimize exposure to malware.

Troubleshooting

If your device isn't recognized by your computer, try using a different USB port or cable. Ensure you have the latest version of Trezor Suite installed. For connection issues on web browsers, check that you're using a supported browser like Chrome or Firefox. If you forget your PIN, you'll need to recover your wallet using your seed phrase. This will wipe the device, so ensure you have your recovery seed available. For display issues, check the device connection and try restarting Trezor Suite. If problems persist, contact official Trezor support through their website only.

Advanced Features

Once setup is complete, explore Trezor's advanced security features. Enable Shamir Backup to split your recovery seed into multiple shares for enhanced security. Use the U2F functionality to secure your online accounts with two-factor authentication. Take advantage of the password manager to securely store your credentials. Connect to decentralized applications directly through your Trezor device for safe interactions. Set up multiple hidden wallets with different passphrases for additional security layers. Use the coin control feature to manage UTXOs for enhanced privacy. Explore the experimental features for early access to new functionalities.
