Trezor.io/Start | Starting® Up® Your® Account®

Step-by-Step Guide to Securely Initialize Your Trezor® Account

Introduction

Trezor.io/Start provides a secure method to initialize and manage your Trezor® cryptocurrency account. This guide walks you through unboxing, device setup, account creation, and security measures to protect your digital assets.

Step 1: Unbox and Inspect

Inspect your Trezor® device packaging for tampering. Ensure the holographic seal is intact. If the packaging shows signs of tampering, do not use the device and contact official Trezor support to ensure your funds remain safe.

Step 2: Connect Your Device

Use the supplied USB cable to connect your Trezor® to your computer. Download the official Trezor Suite application from Trezor.io/Start. Using the official app ensures protection from phishing or malicious software.

Step 3: Initialize Your Wallet

Create a New Wallet

Follow the on-screen instructions in Trezor Suite to create a new wallet. A 24-word recovery phrase will be generated, which is essential for restoring your wallet if your device is lost or damaged. Write it down on the supplied card and store it securely offline.

Restore an Existing Wallet

If you already have a recovery phrase, choose the restore option and carefully input your 24-word seed to regain access to your account.

Step 4: Set a PIN Code

Configure a PIN for your Trezor® device. This prevents unauthorized access if your hardware wallet is lost or stolen. Memorize your PIN and avoid storing it digitally.

Step 5: Backup Your Recovery Phrase

Your recovery phrase is the master key to your account. Keep it offline in a safe location and never share it. Without it, your wallet cannot be restored in case of loss or damage.

Security Tip: Never take a photo or store your recovery phrase digitally to avoid theft.

Step 6: Add Cryptocurrency Accounts

After setup, you can add cryptocurrency accounts via Trezor Suite. Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other supported coins. Track balances, portfolio performance, and transaction history in one secure interface.

Step 7: Manage Transactions

Send, receive, and swap cryptocurrencies securely. Always verify transaction details on your Trezor® device before approving to ensure safety and prevent errors or unauthorized transfers.

Security Best Practices

Troubleshooting

If your device is not recognized, check USB connections, restart Trezor Suite, and ensure firmware is up to date. Contact official support for persistent issues. Never provide your recovery phrase when seeking help.
