Introduction
Trezor wallets, including the Trezor Model T and Trezor One, are among the most trusted cryptocurrency hardware wallets available. Designed to keep your digital assets safe from online threats, Trezor combines advanced security with ease of use. The Trezor.io/start page serves as the official starting point for setting up your Trezor wallet.
In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of setting up your Trezor wallet, managing your crypto securely, and leveraging its features.

Internet connection.
The Trezor Suite application, available on desktop or browser.
Step 1: Visit Trezor.io/start
Open your browser and go to Trezor.io/start.
Confirm that the URL is correct to ensure you’re on the official website.
Step 2: Install Trezor Suite
Download the Trezor Suite app for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux) or use the web version.
Follow the installation prompts to complete the process.
Step 3: Connect Your Trezor Device
Plug your Trezor wallet into your computer or smartphone using the USB cable.
Open Trezor Suite and wait for the app to detect your device.
Step 4: Initialize Your Trezor Wallet
Set Up as New Device: Choose this option if it’s your first time using Trezor.
Follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your wallet.
Step 5: Backup Your Wallet
Write Down Your Recovery Seed
Trezor will generate a 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed. Write it down on the provided recovery card.
Store Safely
Keep your recovery seed offline in a secure location.
Important: Never share your recovery seed with anyone or store it digitally.
Step 6: Set a PIN Code
Create a strong PIN to protect access to your wallet. Use the Trezor device buttons to set this up.
Adding Accounts
Open Trezor Suite and navigate to the "Accounts" section.
Add accounts for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum).
Receiving Cryptocurrency
Select the account you want to receive funds into.
Click “Receive” and display your wallet address.
Copy the address and share it to receive funds.
Sending Cryptocurrency

1. Keep Your Recovery Seed Safe
Your recovery seed is the master key to your wallet. Losing it means losing access to your funds.
2. Verify All Transactions on Your Trezor Device
Always confirm transaction details (address and amount) on the device itself, not just on your computer or smartphone.
3. Use a Strong PIN
Choose a PIN code that’s difficult to guess and avoid sharing it with anyone.
4. Update Firmware Regularly
Check for firmware updates in Trezor Suite to ensure your device is running the latest security patches.
5. Avoid Phishing Scams
Only download Trezor Suite from Trezor.io/start and avoid clicking on unsolicited links claiming to be from Trezor.
Device Not Recognized by Trezor Suite
Ensure your Trezor is connected securely using the USB cable.
Try a different USB port or restart your computer.
Update Trezor Suite to the latest version.
Forgot Your PIN?
Reset your device and restore it using your recovery seed.
Lost Your Recovery Seed?
Unfortunately, without the recovery seed, your funds cannot be accessed or recovered.
Issues During Firmware Update
Disconnect and reconnect your device, and retry the update in Trezor Suite.
