Why a hardware wallet?

Security, control, and peace of mind

Hardware wallets keep your crypto private keys offline and secure. Compared to software wallets, a hardware device greatly reduces the risk of remote compromise and phishing. Trezor devices are widely-used, open-source, and designed for clear, auditable security.

• Offline private key storage
• Pin protection and recovery seed
• Compatibility with many coins and wallets

Tip: Always use the official start link: https://trezor.io/start

What you'll need before you start

Step 1 — Go to the official start page

Open the link and follow prompts

Navigate to the official setup page at Trezor.io/start. The page will detect your device and provide step-by-step guidance, including firmware checks and app installations if needed.

Security note: Verify the URL and browser certificate before connecting your device.

Step 2 — Connect and install firmware

Plug your Trezor into your computer. If the device requires a firmware update, the official site will prompt you. Always approve actions on the device display — never enter your seed on a computer.

• Follow on-screen instructions to install or update firmware
• Confirm firmware fingerprints on the device if prompted

Step 3 — Set a PIN and create your recovery seed

PIN protects device access • Recovery seed recovers funds

The device will ask you to create a PIN. Choose a PIN you can remember but that is not easily guessed. Next, the device will generate a recovery seed (12/24 words). Write these words down in the exact order — keep them offline.

Never photograph or store the seed on a cloud service or phone. Consider metal backups for long-term durability.

Step 4 — Confirm setup and test

Verify that your device displays the same words and PIN prompts and complete the on-device confirmation. After setup, send a small test transaction to and from the hardware wallet to ensure everything is working correctly before moving larger funds.

• Check address on-device before sending
• Use an initial small amount for the first test

Common mistakes and how to avoid them

Simple habits that prevent loss

Many issues come from social engineering and rushed backups. Avoid these errors:

• Typing seed into a computer. Never do this.
• Using unknown recovery tools. Only use official guidance.
• Sharing photos of your backup. Keep it private.

If you suspect compromise, move funds to a new wallet with a new seed generated on a secure device.

Advanced tips

For power users, consider these enhancements:

• Use passphrase (hidden 25th word) for extra account separation.
• Pair Trezor with reputable wallet software for multi-currency management.
• Use discrete metal backup plates for physical resilience.

Advanced features can increase security but add complexity — document procedures and test recovery thoroughly.
