The Trezor hardware wallet offers a secure and reliable way to manage cryptocurrencies offline. The official Trezor.io/Start guide ensures new users can quickly set up their devices, connect to Trezor Suite®, and manage their digital assets safely. This guide covers everything from unboxing to portfolio management and security best practices.
Begin by unboxing your Trezor device. Ensure the package includes the hardware wallet, USB cable, recovery sheet, and user manual. Verify that the device is sealed and untampered to confirm authenticity. Never use a device that shows signs of tampering as it may compromise security.
Trezor Suite® is the official application for managing your hardware wallet. Download it from the official Trezor website for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux). Avoid third-party downloads to prevent malware. Install the application and launch it to begin setup.
Connect your Trezor wallet to your computer using the included USB cable. Follow the on-screen instructions to set a secure PIN code and generate a 24-word recovery seed. This recovery seed is essential for restoring your wallet if the device is lost or damaged. Write it down on the recovery sheet and store it securely offline. Never share your recovery seed with anyone.
Open Trezor Suite® and connect your hardware wallet. The application will verify the device's authenticity and guide you through adding cryptocurrency accounts. You can manage multiple assets, monitor balances, and track transactions, all while keeping private keys offline for maximum security.
Navigate to the “Accounts” section to add supported cryptocurrencies. You can create separate accounts for each asset, monitor balances, and view transaction history. Sending and receiving crypto requires confirmation on the hardware device, ensuring that private keys never leave the wallet.
