Your gateway to secure cryptocurrency storage and management
Trezor hardware wallets provide the highest level of security for your cryptocurrencies. By keeping your private keys offline in a secure hardware device, Trezor ensures that your digital assets remain safe from online threats.
This guide will walk you through the process of setting up your new Trezor device, creating your wallet, and understanding the key security features that make Trezor the most trusted hardware wallet in the cryptocurrency space.
Before you begin the setup process, ensure you have the following items ready:
Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the provided USB cable. The device screen will light up, indicating it's receiving power.
Trezor Bridge is a communication tool that allows your Trezor device to interact with supported browsers. The setup wizard will guide you through the installation process.
Follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your device. You'll be prompted to install the latest firmware, which ensures your device has the most up-to-date security features.
Your recovery seed is the most important piece of information for your wallet. Write down the 12, 18, or 24 words in the exact order shown on your device. Store this in a secure location away from digital devices.
Create a PIN code to protect your device from unauthorized physical access. The PIN is entered using the device's touchscreen in a randomized layout to prevent keyloggers from capturing your input.
