Trezor.io/Start

Start using Trezor with our comprehensive guide to setting up your device and securing your crypto assets.

Starting with a Trezor hardware wallet involves a few simple steps to ensure your cryptocurrencies are secure. First, purchase a Trezor device from the official website, choosing between Trezor One and Trezor Model T. Once your device arrives, connect it to your computer using the included USB cable. You'll be prompted to visit trezor.io/start to download the Trezor Bridge software, which is necessary for communication between your computer and the Trezor device.

After installing the software, you'll initialize your Trezor by creating a new wallet. This process includes generating a recovery seed, a series of 12 or 24 words that you must write down and store securely. The recovery seed is crucial for recovering your wallet if the device is lost, stolen, or damaged. Following this, you'll set a PIN code, which adds an extra layer of security and is required each time you connect your Trezor to a computer.

With your Trezor set up, you can use the Trezor Wallet interface to manage your cryptocurrencies. The interface allows you to send, receive, and store various digital assets. Trezor supports numerous cryptocurrencies, providing flexibility in managing your portfolio. The device also offers advanced security features such as two-factor authentication (2FA) and compatibility with third-party wallets like MyEtherWallet and Electrum. Regular firmware updates ensure your Trezor remains secure. Trezor's combination of ease of use and robust security features makes it an excellent choice for cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
