A clear, secure, step-by-step presentation that walks new users through setting up a Trezor hardware wallet using official resources. Ideal for slides, documentation, or trainer notes.
Trezor is a hardware wallet designed to keep your private keys offline and protected. This guide will cover unboxing, initial device setup, firmware updates, seed backup, and basic safety practices. Follow the official links at the end for downloads and support.
Only use official Trezor software and links. Never share your recovery seed or type it into a website or app.
Check the device packaging for tamper evidence. If anything looks compromised, contact support before continuing.
Open your browser and go to the official setup start page: trezor.io/start. Only follow instructions found on official domains.
Download and install the recommended software from the official site so your computer can talk to the device. Follow the on-screen prompts to connect your Trezor.
Follow guided prompts to create a new wallet. If firmware updates are available, install them — firmware is signed by the manufacturer and required for security patches.
Write your recovery seed on the supplied recovery card — do not store it digitally. Store the seed securely (consider multiple offline copies in separate locations).
Set a secure PIN on the device. Test sending a small amount of crypto to confirm everything works before transferring larger funds.
Contact official support and follow their guidance. Refrain from following random forum advice unless confirmed by official documentation.
