Step 1: Connect Your Device

Begin by connecting your Trezor device to your computer using the official USB cable. Trezor.io/Start detects the device automatically and verifies its authenticity. This verification ensures that your device is genuine and free from tampering.

Step 2: Install Trezor Suite

Always download Trezor Suite from the official website to prevent exposure to phishing attacks or malware. The Suite also includes portfolio tracking and market insights.

Step 3: Generate Your Recovery Seed

The recovery seed, generated by your device, consists of 12, 18, or 24 words. This seed is critical for restoring your wallet in case the device is lost or damaged. Write it down carefully on paper and store it securely offline. Never share your recovery seed digitally or photograph it.

Step 4: Secure Your Device

Set a strong PIN to protect your Trezor from unauthorized access. Each transaction requires confirmation on the device, ensuring funds cannot be compromised even if your computer is infected. For additional security, you can enable a passphrase.

Step 5: Manage Your Assets

Trezor Suite allows you to manage supported cryptocurrencies, monitor balances, and track your portfolio securely. Private keys never leave the device, ensuring the highest level of security.

Step 6: Security Benefits

Trezor’s open-source design and hardware-level security provide unmatched protection. Private key operations occur offline, minimizing the risk of malware or phishing. Trezor.io/Start ensures verified steps are followed for safe setup.

Final Recommendations
