A hardware wallet keeps your private keys offline, separate from the internet — making it one of the safest ways to store cryptocurrencies. Your Trezor Hardware Wallet is a physical device that signs transactions offline and holds your recovery seed securely. The setup process begins at Trezor.io/start (sometimes written or typed as Trezor Io Start), which guides you to download software like Trezor Suite or configure connection helpers like Trezor Bridge when needed.
This page provides an accessible, detailed walkthrough for setting up your device, logging into Trezor services, and using Trezor Suite for everyday management. Choose a presentation format above to change the layout without losing content.
Open the package and verify the tamper-evident seal. Your box should contain the Trezor device, a USB cable, recovery seed cards, and quick start guides. If packaging looks tampered with, contact the vendor before connecting the device.
Open a secure browser and navigate to Trezor.io/start. This landing page will detect your device and direct you to the recommended setup method: Trezor Suite (desktop app) or the web setup which may require Trezor Bridge for certain browsers.
Trezor Suite is the full desktop app for managing devices, accounts, and interacting with dapps. The web-based path is quick but may require Trezor Bridge to connect the device to your browser. If you plan to manage many coins or want stronger offline signing options, install Trezor Suite.
Plug the Trezor into your computer using the included USB cable. Follow the on-screen prompts at Trezor.io/start or inside Trezor Suite to identify your device model and firmware status.
When connecting a brand-new device, Trezor will prompt you to install the latest firmware. This is essential — never skip firmware installation. Use the official workflow from Trezor.io/start or Trezor Suite to complete the update.
After firmware, create a new wallet: write down the recovery seed exactly as shown on the device. The correct handling of your seed is critical — store it offline in at least one secure location. Never photograph or store the seed digitally.
Choose a PIN on the device when prompted. The PIN protects access to functions even if the device is stolen. Remember: the PIN is entered on the device using a randomized layout so the host computer cannot learn it directly.
Install and open Trezor Suite, connect the device and follow the guided steps. If asked to perform a Trezor Login or authorize via the device, follow on-screen prompts to sign in or connect your accounts.
Use Trezor Suite or compatible software to receive funds, verify transactions on-device before signing, and use advanced features like passphrase protection, coin control, and third-party integrations.
Periodically check for firmware and app updates. Keep your recovery seed safe and test your backup restoration in a safe environment if you want to be extra certain your backup is functional.
