Complete setup guide for your Trezor Model T and Trezor One hardware wallets. Secure your cryptocurrencies with the world's most trusted hardware wallet.
Start Setup Download SoftwareBegin by downloading the official Trezor Suite application from trezor.io/start. This is the primary interface for managing your Trezor device and cryptocurrencies.
Available Platforms: Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can also use the web version at suite.trezor.io, but the desktop application provides enhanced security features.
Connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer using the provided USB cable. For Trezor Model T, use a USB-C cable, while Trezor One uses a standard micro-USB connection.
When first connected, your Trezor device will display a welcome message. Follow the on-screen instructions in Trezor Suite to begin the initialization process.
Trezor Suite will automatically detect your device and prompt you to install the latest firmware. Firmware is the operating system of your Trezor device and contains critical security updates.
The firmware installation process takes approximately 2-5 minutes. Do not disconnect your Trezor during this process. Your device will restart automatically once installation is complete.
The recovery seed (also called seed phrase) is the most critical security element of your Trezor wallet. This 12, 18, or 24-word phrase is the master key to all your cryptocurrencies.
Your Trezor device will generate the recovery seed randomly. The computer never sees your seed - it remains securely within your hardware wallet at all times.
Trezor Suite will prompt you to verify your recovery seed by selecting the words in the correct order. This crucial step ensures you've properly recorded your seed phrase.
Take your time during verification. Carefully compare each word on your Trezor display with your written backup. This is your last chance to ensure your seed is correct before proceeding.
Create a PIN code to protect your Trezor device from physical access. The PIN is required every time you connect your Trezor to a computer.
Choose a PIN that's difficult to guess but memorable to you. The PIN can be up to 9 digits long. You'll have three attempts to enter the correct PIN before the device wipes itself for security.
Once setup is complete, your Trezor is ready to use. Trezor Suite will display your cryptocurrency wallet addresses and provide options to receive, send, and exchange digital assets.
Explore Trezor Suite's features including portfolio tracking, coin control, and exchange integration. Your hardware wallet is now secured and ready to protect your digital assets.
The original hardware wallet, trusted by millions worldwide. Perfect for beginners and experienced users alike.
Advanced hardware wallet with touchscreen interface and enhanced security features for professional users.
Private keys never leave your Trezor device. All cryptographic operations happen in the secure element of the hardware wallet, isolated from internet-connected devices.
Advanced PIN matrix system prevents keyloggers from capturing your PIN. The device wipes itself after multiple incorrect attempts to protect against brute force attacks.
24-word mnemonic seed allows complete wallet recovery. The seed is generated offline and never exposed to connected computers or networks.
All transactions must be physically verified on your Trezor display. This prevents malware from altering destination addresses or amounts without your knowledge.
If you lose your Trezor device but have your recovery seed, you can completely restore your wallet on a new Trezor device or any compatible wallet. Your recovery seed is the master key to your cryptocurrencies - the physical device is just a secure way to access them.
Yes, Trezor devices can be used with Android devices using OTG USB cables. Trezor Suite is available as a web application that works on mobile browsers, though the desktop application offers the full feature set. iOS support is limited due to Apple's restrictions on USB accessories.
Update your Trezor firmware whenever new versions are available through Trezor Suite. Firmware updates often include critical security patches and new features. The update process maintains your existing wallet and does not affect your recovery seed or funds.
Shamir Backup (available on Trezor Model T) allows you to split your recovery seed into multiple shares. You can set a threshold (e.g., 3-of-5) where only a specific number of shares are needed to recover the wallet. This enhances security while providing redundancy.
