A simple, secure walkthrough to get your Trezor® device ready for crypto
Your Trezor® device is your gateway to managing cryptocurrency securely. This guide will walk you through preparation, setup, backup, and usage in easy steps.
Choose a clean, safe area to set up your Trezor®. Have your device, USB cable, and a notebook or recovery card ready for recording important recovery words.
Plug your Trezor® into your computer or mobile device. All prompts appear on the device screen. Always confirm directly on the Trezor® for maximum security.
Tip: Never trust instructions displayed only on a computer — the device is the source of truth.
When creating a new wallet, the Trezor® will display a recovery seed. Write down each word in order and store in a safe offline location.
Choose a secure PIN and optionally a passphrase to add extra protection. Remember: losing the passphrase means permanent loss of access to that wallet.
Pair your Trezor® with a compatible wallet application. Start with a small test transaction to ensure addresses match and everything works as expected.
Keep your recovery seed safe, update your device firmware regularly, and avoid using unverified software. If you suspect compromise, move your funds to a new secure wallet immediately.
