Secure your crypto assets in minutes with the official Trezor initialization page. Follow this guide to safely set up, protect, and manage your digital currencies with full control and privacy.
Unbox your Trezor hardware wallet and connect it to your computer using the USB cable provided. Your device will light up and prompt you to begin the initialization process. Always verify that the holographic seal is intact before connecting.
Open your browser and go to the official Trezor start page. Avoid using search engines or third-party links — always type the address manually to ensure authenticity and avoid phishing scams.
Trezor Suite is your secure desktop interface for managing crypto. Download the latest version compatible with your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux). Follow on-screen prompts to connect your device to the Suite app.
Once connected, choose between creating a new wallet or recovering an existing one. For new devices, Trezor will generate a unique recovery seed — a 12, 18, or 24-word phrase used to restore your funds in case of loss. Write this down on paper and store it offline.
Your recovery seed gives full access to your crypto. Trezor, or any legitimate service, will never ask you to reveal it. Keep it offline and secure.
Create a PIN code that’s not easily guessed. Avoid sequential numbers or personal data. If someone enters an incorrect PIN repeatedly, your device will delay further attempts.
An optional passphrase adds another layer of defense. Even if your seed is compromised, funds stored in passphrase-protected wallets remain inaccessible without it.
Keep your Trezor device updated to benefit from new security features and patches. Updates are signed cryptographically, ensuring integrity.
Never take pictures or digital backups of your recovery words. Store them in a secure physical location — preferably in a fireproof safe or steel plate backup.
Trezor Suite offers a user-friendly interface with advanced privacy and portfolio tools. You can monitor your balances, send and receive transactions, and view detailed activity logs — all with total transparency.
Activate Tor connectivity for additional privacy. This encrypts your traffic and hides your IP address when communicating with blockchain nodes, ensuring your identity remains anonymous.
The suite also integrates with decentralized exchanges and supports a growing list of cryptocurrencies — including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and thousands of ERC-20 tokens.
To switch between accounts or create hidden wallets, use the “+” icon within Trezor Suite. Hidden wallets require a passphrase, enabling multiple secure vaults on one physical device.
Ensure your USB cable is original and data-capable. Try reconnecting to a different port or restarting your computer. If issues persist, reinstall Trezor Bridge software.
If you forget your PIN, you can reset the device — but this will wipe all stored data. You can recover your assets afterward using your recovery seed.
Disconnect your device and restart it in bootloader mode by holding both buttons during connection. Follow instructions in the Suite to reinstall firmware safely.
