Trézor.io/Start® – The Official Guide to Setting Up Your Trezor Wallet

For anyone entering the cryptocurrency world, security is the top priority. Trezor hardware wallets provide robust protection for your digital assets by keeping private keys offline. Trézor.io/Start® is the official starting point to set up your wallet safely, whether you’re a beginner or experienced crypto user.

This guide will take you through everything: connecting your device, installing software, creating a PIN, backing up your recovery seed, adding cryptocurrencies, and managing multiple accounts securely.

Why Trezor Wallets Are Important

Trezor wallets are a form of cold storage, meaning private keys never connect to the internet. Key advantages include:

  • Protection against hacks, malware, and phishing attempts

  • Full control of your cryptocurrency

  • Support for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Cardano, Binance Coin, and ERC-20 tokens

  • Easy integration with the Trézor Suite for managing multiple wallets

Following Trézor.io/Start® ensures your wallet is configured correctly and securely from the start.

What You Need Before Starting

To ensure smooth setup, gather the following items:

  • Trezor hardware wallet (Trezor One or Trezor Model T)

  • Original USB cable included with the device

  • Computer with a stable internet connection

  • Pen and recovery card for your backup seed

Having these ready saves time and prevents errors during setup.

Trézor Suite is the official software to manage your wallet. You can choose:

With Trézor Suite, you can:

  • Send and receive cryptocurrencies securely

Step 3: Connect Your Device

Connect your Trezor to your computer using the original USB cable. Trézor Suite should detect it automatically.

Troubleshooting Tips:

Step 4: Update or Install Firmware

Firmware updates are essential for security and performance. Follow the prompts on Trézor Suite to install or update firmware.

Step 5: Create Your Wallet

  • Select “Create New Wallet” in Trézor Suite

  • Your device will generate a recovery seed—12–24 words used to restore your wallet if needed

Step 6: Secure Your Recovery Seed

The recovery seed is critical for wallet security:

  • Write it on the recovery card provided

  • Store it in a secure, offline location

  • Never save it digitally or share it

  • Use it to restore your wallet if your device is lost or damaged

Step 7: Set Your PIN

A PIN protects your wallet from unauthorized access.

Tips for a strong PIN:

  • Use 5–9 digits

  • Avoid common sequences or birthdays

  • Memorize it; you will need it every time you access the wallet

Step 8: Optional Security Features

For enhanced protection, consider enabling:

  • Passphrase Protection: Create hidden wallets for extra privacy
