Complete Trezor Setup Guide

Welcome to the official Trezor.io/start setup guide for 2025. As the world's first and most trusted hardware wallet, Trezor provides unparalleled security for your cryptocurrency assets. This comprehensive tutorial will guide you through the entire setup process.

Before You Begin

Ensure you have your Trezor device, USB cable, recovery seed card, and a computer with internet access. The setup process takes approximately 20 minutes and requires your full attention for security purposes.

Step-by-Step Setup Instructions

Download Trezor Suite

Visit the official Trezor.io/start website and download Trezor Suite for your operating system. Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Always verify you're on the official Trezor website to avoid phishing attempts.

Connect Your Trezor

Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the provided USB cable. Follow the on-screen instructions in Trezor Suite to install the necessary firmware. Your device will guide you through the initial setup process.

Create Your PIN

Set up a secure PIN code to protect your device from unauthorized access. The PIN matrix will appear on your Trezor screen, ensuring that even if your computer is compromised, your PIN remains secure.

Backup Your Recovery Seed

This is the most critical security step. Your Trezor will generate a 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed. Write these words in exact order on your recovery seed card. Store this card in a secure, offline location.

Security Critical: Your recovery seed is the only way to recover your funds if your Trezor is lost, stolen, or damaged. Never store it digitally and never share it with anyone.

Verify Recovery Seed

Your Trezor will ask you to confirm your recovery seed by selecting words in the correct order. This ensures you've properly recorded the seed and understand the recovery process.

Start Using Your Trezor

Once setup is complete, you can begin managing your cryptocurrencies through Trezor Suite. Create accounts for different cryptocurrencies and start securing your digital assets.

Setup Complete: Your Trezor device is now ready to securely store your cryptocurrencies! Remember to always verify transaction details on your Trezor screen.
