About Trezor Hardware Wallets

Trezor hardware wallets are physical devices built specifically to protect digital assets. Instead of storing private keys on internet-connected devices, Trezor generates and stores keys within the wallet itself.

Key Security Features:

  • Private keys never leave the device
  • Protection against hacking and malware
  • Offline storage of sensitive data
  • Open-source firmware for transparency
  • Independent security reviews available

One of the defining features of Trezor is its open-source foundation. The firmware and software can be independently reviewed, promoting transparency and trust.

The Wallet Setup Process

Initializing a Trezor wallet is straightforward when following the official steps:

  1. Navigate to Trezor.io/start using a trusted browser
  2. Download and install the official Trezor Suite application
  3. Connect your Trezor device to your computer
  4. Install or update the firmware if requested
  5. Create a new wallet or restore an existing one
  6. Record the recovery seed displayed on the device
  7. Confirm the recovery seed to complete setup

Each step is designed to protect you from common setup errors.

Understanding the Recovery Seed

During setup, Trezor generates a recovery seed made up of 12 or 24 unique words. This seed is the ultimate backup for your wallet.

How to Protect Your Recovery Seed:

⚠️ NEVER:

  • Share it with anyone
  • Photograph it
  • Store it digitally
  • Type it on an internet-connected device

✅ ALWAYS:

  • Write it down on paper
  • Store it in a secure location
  • Keep it separate from your device
  • Consider multiple backup copies

Remember: Anyone who gains access to this phrase can control your cryptocurrency without needing the physical device.

Managing Assets with Trezor Suite

After setup is complete, Trezor Suite becomes your main interface for interacting with your wallet:

  • Send and receive cryptocurrency
  • Check account balances
  • Review transaction history
  • Approve sensitive actions on the device itself
  • Monitor your portfolio
  • Keep firmware and software updated

Pro Tip: All critical actions require approval directly on your Trezor device—no exceptions. This ensures only you can authorize transactions.

Staying Safe Over Time

Security remains important even after initial setup.

Best Practices:

✓ Remain vigilant against suspicious emails and fake websites ✓ Never share your recovery seed or private keys ✓ Enable a passphrase for additional protection ✓ Set a strong PIN on your device ✓ Store your device in a safe place ✓ Keep software updated for security patches ✓ Trezor will NEVER ask for your recovery seed

Remember:

Trezor support will never request your private keys or recovery seed. If someone asks for this information, they are not from Trezor.
