Trezor.io/Start®

Go to trezor.io/start, connect your Trezor device, follow the instructions to install firmware, and set up your wallet.

Setting up your Trezor device is a straightforward process that ensures the security of your cryptocurrency holdings. Follow these steps to get started using the Trezor Suite app:

Step 1: Unboxing and Connecting

When you receive your Trezor device, carefully unbox it and ensure all contents are present: the device itself, a USB cable, recovery seed card, and any documentation. Connect your Trezor to your computer using the provided USB cable.

Step 2: Initializing Your Trezor

Visit trezor.io/start and choose to set up your device using the Trezor Suite app. Download and install the Trezor Suite application for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).

Step 3: Setting Up with Trezor Suite

Open the Trezor Suite app. It will prompt you to connect your Trezor device. Follow the on-screen instructions to begin the setup process. You'll be guided through initializing your Trezor, setting a PIN, and backing up your recovery seed.

Step 4: Creating a PIN

During setup, you will set a PIN on your Trezor device. This PIN is crucial for accessing your wallet and should be memorable but secure. Follow the instructions on the Trezor Suite app to set your PIN.

Step 5: Backing Up Your Recovery Seed

After setting your PIN, your Trezor will generate a recovery seed — a list of words that serves as a backup of your wallet. Write down these words on the recovery seed card provided. Store this card in a safe place, preferably offline and away from your Trezor device.

Step 6: Confirming Your Recovery Seed

Once you've written down your recovery seed, confirm that you've correctly noted all the words in the Trezor Suite app. This ensures that you have a valid backup in case your device is lost or damaged.

Step 7: Completing Setup

After confirming your recovery seed, your Trezor device is ready for use. You can now manage your cryptocurrencies securely using the Trezor Suite app. Make sure to disconnect and safely store your Trezor when not in use to protect it from unauthorized access.

Conclusion

Setting up your Trezor device using trezor.io/start and the Trezor Suite app ensures that your cryptocurrencies are securely stored offline, protected by robust encryption and backup mechanisms. By following these steps, you can confidently manage your digital assets with peace of mind.
