🔐 Trezor @Wallet | Official Wallet* — Secure Your Crypto
Welcome to the official guide to using the Trezor @Wallet — your ultimate solution for safely storing and managing cryptocurrency. Trezor wallets are renowned for their unmatched security, ease of use, and open-source firmware. This guide will walk you through everything from unboxing to advanced protection tips.
📦 Step 1: Unboxing and Inspection
Your Trezor hardware wallet should come in tamper-proof packaging. Inside the box, you will find:
- Your Trezor device (Model T or Model One)
- USB cable (Type-C or Micro USB)
- Recovery seed cards
- User manual and stickers
🔍 Always check for any signs of tampering or resealing. If the packaging seems compromised, contact Trezor support.
This is the only official place to begin setup. It ensures you install legitimate software and firmware.
- Connect your device to your computer via USB
- Download Trezor Suite for Windows, macOS, or Linux
- Launch the app and wait for the device to be recognized
⚙️ Step 3: Firmware and Device Initialization
- Your device may require a firmware update before proceeding
- Follow the prompts in Trezor Suite to install the firmware securely
- After the update, choose "Create new wallet"
📝 Step 4: Write Down Your Recovery Seed
The recovery seed is a randomly generated phrase (12, 18, or 24 words) shown on your Trezor screen. This is the master key to your crypto.
- Write each word down on the recovery card provided
- Keep this card in a safe, offline location
- Never store it digitally
⚠️ If you lose access to your device and your recovery phrase, your funds cannot be recovered.
🔒 Step 5: Set Up PIN Protection
After confirming your recovery phrase, you’ll be prompted to choose a PIN.
- Use a secure 4–9 digit PIN
- Avoid simple patterns like “1234” or “0000”
- Enter using the matrix layout shown on your Trezor screen
