Trezor® is a hardware wallet designed to safeguard your cryptocurrency with maximum security. Unlike software wallets, your private keys never leave the device, providing a layer of protection against online attacks.
This guide will take you through the essential steps to set up, configure, and use your Trezor® device efficiently and safely.
Carefully open your Trezor® package and verify that all components are included:
Inspect the device for any signs of tampering. Do not proceed if packaging appears damaged or compromised.
Connect your device to your computer using the supplied USB cable. Navigate to Trezor Start to begin setup.
Follow on-screen instructions carefully. The device will guide you through firmware installation and initial configuration.
Your PIN is crucial for device security. Choose a unique combination that you can remember, but is difficult for others to guess.
Avoid simple sequences like 1234 or birthdays. Your PIN adds an extra layer of protection for accessing the device.
The recovery seed is a set of 12-24 words generated by Trezor® during setup. Write these words down exactly as shown on the provided card. Never store this seed digitally.
This seed is your ultimate safeguard: if your device is lost or stolen, it allows you to recover your wallet and funds.
Once the device is set up, you can add multiple cryptocurrency accounts through Trezor Suite. You can manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and over 1,000 other tokens.
When sending or receiving crypto, always verify the transaction details on your Trezor® screen. This step ensures that malware cannot manipulate the destination address.
Double-check the amount, address, and fees before confirming any transaction.
