Welcome to your official Trezor hardware wallet setup guide. Follow these simple steps to securely set up your Trezor device and start managing your cryptocurrencies with confidence.
Carefully unbox your Trezor device and verify its authenticity. Check for intact security seals and ensure all components are present: Trezor device, USB cable, recovery seed cards, and lanyard.
Never purchase Trezor devices from third-party marketplaces. Always buy directly from the official Trezor shop to avoid tampered devices.
Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the provided USB cable. For wireless setup with Trezor Model T, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both devices.
Download and install Trezor Suite from the official website. This is your gateway to managing your cryptocurrencies securely.
Trezor Suite will automatically detect your device and guide you through firmware installation. This ensures your device has the latest security features.
Choose to create a new wallet. Your Trezor device will generate a unique recovery seed - the most important piece of your security setup.
Your recovery seed is the master key to your cryptocurrency. Write it down on the provided cards, store it securely, and never share it with anyone.
Carefully write down your 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed on the provided cards. Verify the seed by entering it in the correct order when prompted.
Create a secure PIN to protect your device from unauthorized access. The PIN is entered directly on your Trezor device for maximum security.
Your Trezor device is now ready to use! You can receive cryptocurrencies, manage your portfolio, and explore advanced features in Trezor Suite.

Trezor One is the original hardware wallet with an OLED display and two physical buttons, supporting over 1000 cryptocurrencies. Trezor Model T is the advanced version featuring a full-color touchscreen, support for 1800+ cryptocurrencies, MicroSD card slot for additional security, and optional Bluetooth connectivity. While both provide excellent security, the Model T offers a more modern user experience and additional features for power users.
Yes, you can completely recover your wallet using your recovery seed. This 12, 18, or 24-word mnemonic phrase is generated during initial setup and serves as a backup of your private keys. If you lose your Trezor device, you can purchase a new one (or use any compatible wallet software) and restore your entire wallet using this recovery seed. This is why securely storing your recovery seed is the most critical aspect of Trezor setup.
Yes, firmware updates are essential for maintaining security and accessing new features. Trezor firmware updates are cryptographically signed and verified before installation. The update process maintains your private keys and wallet data, though you'll need your PIN to complete the update. Regular firmware updates ensure protection against newly discovered vulnerabilities and often include performance improvements and support for additional cryptocurrencies.
If you forget your PIN, you'll need to wipe your Trezor device and restore it using your recovery seed. This process erases all data from the device (but not your cryptocurrencies, which remain on the blockchain). After wiping, you can set up a new PIN during the restoration process. This security feature prevents unauthorized access to your device while ensuring you can always recover your funds with your recovery seed.
Yes, your Trezor device can manage multiple cryptocurrencies simultaneously. Trezor Suite supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash, Zcash, and thousands of ERC-20 tokens and altcoins. All these cryptocurrencies are managed through the same recovery seed, meaning you only need to backup once. The interface allows you to easily switch between different cryptocurrency accounts and manage your entire portfolio from one secure application.
