Unbox Your Trezor Device
Carefully unbox your Trezor hardware wallet and verify that the security seal is intact. Your package should include the Trezor device, USB cable, recovery seed cards, and quick start guide. Never use a device if the packaging appears tampered with.
Download Trezor Suite
Visit Trezor.io/Start and download the official Trezor Suite application for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). Trezor Suite is your gateway to managing cryptocurrencies securely. Always download from the official Trezor website to avoid malicious software.
Connect Your Device
Using the provided USB cable, connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer. The device will power on automatically. Trezor Suite will detect your device and guide you through the firmware installation process if this is your first time using the device.
Initialize Your Wallet
Choose to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. For new users, select 'Create new wallet.' Follow the on-screen instructions to set up a PIN code that will protect your device from unauthorized access. Choose a PIN that is memorable but not easily guessable.
Backup Recovery Seed
Your Trezor will generate a unique 12 or 24-word recovery seed. Write these words down in the exact order on the provided recovery card. This seed is the master key to your funds—store it in a secure, offline location. Never photograph or digitally store your recovery seed.
Complete Setup & Start Using
Verify your recovery seed by confirming a few words when prompted. Once verified, your Trezor wallet is ready to use. You can now receive, send, and manage your cryptocurrencies with complete confidence knowing your private keys are stored securely offline on your Trezor device.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about setting up your Trezor hardware wallet
Trezor.io/Start is the official setup portal for Trezor hardware wallets, developed and maintained by SatoshiLabs. This dedicated platform provides a secure, step-by-step guide to initialize your device, install the official Trezor Suite application, and create your cryptocurrency wallet.

The complete Trezor setup process typically takes between 10 to 15 minutes from start to finish. This timeframe includes unboxing your device, connecting it to your computer, installing Trezor Suite, creating your wallet, generating your recovery seed, and securely backing it up. However, we recommend not rushing through the process. Take your time, especially when writing down your recovery seed, as accuracy is crucial. If you're new to hardware wallets or cryptocurrency, you might want to allocate 20-30 minutes to carefully read and understand each step. The setup is a one-time process, and investing extra time ensures everything is configured correctly for long-term security.
Absolutely. Your recovery seed is generated entirely offline within your Trezor device using a secure random number generator. It never leaves the device and is displayed only on the Trezor screen—never on your computer or anywhere online. This is a fundamental security feature of hardware wallets. During setup, Trezor will ask you to write down your 12 or 24-word recovery seed on the provided recovery card. It's critical to understand that you should never enter your recovery seed into any computer, website, or app unless you're recovering your wallet on a new Trezor device. Anyone asking you to enter your seed online is attempting to steal your funds. Store your written recovery seed in a secure, offline location such as a safe or safety deposit box.
Yes, Trezor hardware wallets support over 1,800 different cryptocurrencies and tokens. This includes major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and thousands of ERC-20 tokens. The Trezor Suite application provides a unified, intuitive interface to manage all your supported assets securely from one device. You can create multiple accounts for each cryptocurrency, view your complete portfolio balance, send and receive transactions, and even stake certain cryptocurrencies directly through Trezor Suite. The device is regularly updated to add support for new cryptocurrencies, ensuring your hardware wallet remains compatible with the evolving crypto ecosystem. All coins share the same recovery seed, making backup and recovery straightforward.
If you lose your Trezor device, don't panic—your cryptocurrency funds remain completely safe as long as you have your recovery seed securely stored. The recovery seed is the master key to your wallet, not the physical device itself. To regain access to your funds, simply purchase a new Trezor device (either Model One or Model T), visit Trezor.io/Start, and during setup, select the 'Recover wallet' option instead of creating a new one. Enter your 12 or 24-word recovery seed in the exact order it was originally provided, and your entire wallet will be restored with all your cryptocurrency balances intact. This recovery process works even years after your original setup. This is precisely why keeping your recovery seed secure and never sharing it with anyone is critically important—it's your ultimate backup for accessing your funds.
