Trezor — Quick Start
Secure your crypto in minutes. This minimal guide walks you through unboxing, initializing your Trezor hardware wallet, and keeping your recovery information safe.
Unbox and verify
Open the package and confirm the tamper-evident seal is intact. Only use the cables and accessories provided by Trezor to avoid tampering risks.
Connect & update
Connect your device to a trusted computer. Visit the official start page and follow on-screen prompts to install firmware updates — keeping firmware current is essential for security.
Create a new wallet
Choose a new wallet, set a PIN, and write down your recovery seed on the supplied recovery card. Store the seed offline and never share it with anyone.
Manage assets
Use the official Trezor app or a supported wallet to send, receive, and manage assets. Always confirm transaction details on the device screen before approving.
Backup & best practices
Keep at least one physical backup of your recovery phrase in a secure, separate location. Consider a fireproof safe, and avoid digital photos or cloud backups of your seed.
