A concise, visually friendly HTML presentation to walk you through safe setup, backup, and routine maintenance of your Trezor hardware wallet.
Hardware wallets keep your private keys offline. They reduce risk from malware, phishing, and compromised computers by isolating signing operations to the device itself. Trezor’s official resources walk you step-by-step during setup to ensure you're never sharing seeds or keys with third parties.
Open Trezor Suite or the web app and follow the interactive onboarding flow. The official start page provides desktop and browser options and guides you to install any required software safely.
New devices often ship without firmware. Installing the official firmware from Trezor ensures your device has the latest security fixes and features before creating a wallet backup.
Trezor uses a wallet backup (previously called recovery seed). Write down the words on the included card or, better, use a metal backup solution. Never store the backup digitally or share it with anyone.
The PIN prevents immediate use if someone physically steals the device; a passphrase is an additional secret you can use for hidden wallets.
Always test with a small transfer before moving large balances. Confirm transactions on the device screen — never accept a transaction only from your computer’s display.
Install firmware updates via Trezor Suite when prompted. Firmware changelogs let you verify what changed and why updates are important.
Backups should be offline and physically secure. Avoid photos, cloud storage, or plaintext digital formats.
If you find tampering signs, lost accessories, or unexpected device behavior, contact official Trezor Support straight away.
Never rush security steps. Confirm URLs (always visit trezor.io directly), double-check transaction details on your device, and keep your backup physically secure. If unsure, consult the official support and guides linked above.
