A concise, step-by-step presentation to get your Trezor hardware wallet set up safely. Includes clear headings (h1–h5), recommended links, and best-practice tips for secure handling.
When you first use a Trezor device, you are creating the single most important security boundary for your crypto: your private keys. Proper setup prevents hardware tampering, supply-chain risks, and social-engineering attacks. Follow the official start flow at Trezor.io/Start and verify every step.
Inspect the box, tamper-evident seal, and included accessories. If anything looks altered, contact official support immediately. Keep packaging until you finish setup; it contains recovery material and brand information.
Never buy a used hardware wallet unless you can fully reset and verify it. For replacement parts or purchases, use the official shop link below.
Connect to suite.trezor.io or follow the web setup at trezor.io/start. Avoid third-party apps during initial setup. Install the official bridge if prompted to enable USB communication.
When prompted, write your recovery phrase on the supplied seed cards. Never store the phrase digitally. Consider steel backup options for fire and flood resistance, and split-storage across secure locations if necessary.
Any request to share the seed (online, by phone, or in chat) is a scam. Trezor staff will never ask for your seed. Treat the phrase like cash.
Test restoring on a spare device only if you’re comfortable — this verifies that your seed works. Keep restore attempts private and offline.
Only accept firmware updates delivered via the official Trezor Suite or the start flow. Verify firmware hashes and use the documented verification process on the official site to ensure authenticity.
Use a separate device or software wallet for small, everyday transactions. Reserve the Trezor for holding long-term assets. Keep physical access to your device restricted and enable passphrase protection for an added security layer.
