Secure Your Crypto: Trezor Setup Made Simple

Getting started with Trezor? You’ve taken a smart step towards securing your digital assets. This guide walks you through setup in clear, simple language—plus visual cues to help along the way.

1. Unbox Your Trezor

Inside the box, you should find your Trezor device, a USB cable, recovery seed cards, and a quick start guide. Make sure the packaging hasn't been tampered with before proceeding.

2. Go to Trezor.io/Start

Navigate your browser to https://trezor.io/start. This is the only official setup portal—avoid following links from unsolicited emails or search engines. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

5. Create or Recover a Wallet

Select "Create new wallet" (if starting fresh) or “Recover wallet” if restoring from a seed. If creating, your device will present a 12- or 24-word recovery phrase. Write it down securely—never store it digitally. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

6. Set Up a PIN

Choose a PIN on your Trezor screen to add another security layer. This makes unauthorized access much harder. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
