Secure your cryptocurrency with a hardware wallet. Follow a few simple steps to set up your device, create a backup, and protect access to your funds.

Quick start — in three steps

1
Unbox & connect
Plug your Trezor into your computer or mobile (USB‑C / USB) and open the official start page.
2
Create & confirm seed
Follow the on‑device prompts to generate a recovery seed. Write it down and keep it offline — it’s the only way to recover your wallet.
3
Install apps & use
Install the recommended apps or connect your device to supported wallets to send, receive, and manage assets safely.

Important: always use official downloads and verify addresses on the hardware device screen. Never share your recovery seed with anyone.

Quick FAQ

Q: Can I recover my wallet if I lose the device?
A: Yes — with your recovery seed. Without it, funds cannot be recovered.

Q: Is the seed stored online?
A: No — it is generated on the device and must be stored offline by you.

Security Best Practices

Setting up your Trezor device is only the beginning. To maintain long‑term security, follow strong operational habits. Store your recovery seed in a physical, offline location that only you can access. Avoid digital backups such as screenshots, phone photos, or cloud-stored notes, which can be easily compromised. Keep multiple written copies in separate secure locations to minimize risks of loss.

When connecting your Trezor to your computer, ensure the system is clean from malware or untrusted browser extensions. Always double‑check every transaction on the Trezor’s hardware screen before confirming—this ensures you approve the real transaction, not a potentially manipulated on‑screen version.

Update your firmware regularly using official Trezor channels. Each update includes security enhancements and improvements that help safeguard your assets. While your private keys never leave your device, strong personal security practices are essential for maintaining long‑term protection of your cryptocurrency.
