Introduction

Welcome to your Trezor hardware wallet. This guide will help you start up your device, understand its features, and securely log in to your accounts. Trezor provides top-level security for your cryptocurrency holdings.

Setting Up Your Device

Unboxing

Carefully unbox your Trezor hardware device and ensure all components are included: the device, USB cable, recovery seed card, and user manual.

Connecting to Your Computer

Use the supplied USB cable to connect the Trezor device to your computer. Ensure your computer is online and updated to the latest browser version.

Installing Trezor Bridge

Trezor Bridge is the software that allows your computer to communicate with the device. Download it from the official Trezor website and install it following on-screen instructions.

Security Setup

Creating a PIN

Set a secure PIN code on your Trezor device to prevent unauthorized access. Choose a PIN that is not easily guessable.

Backup Recovery Seed

Write down the recovery seed on the card provided. This seed is critical for restoring your wallet if the device is lost or damaged. Never store it digitally.

Logging In

Accessing Your Wallet

Open your preferred Trezor-compatible wallet application and connect your device. Enter your PIN when prompted to access your funds.

Two-Factor Authentication

Enable two-factor authentication where possible for added security when logging into exchanges or applications.

Troubleshooting

Device Not Recognized

If your device is not recognized, check your USB cable and ports, reinstall Trezor Bridge, and restart your computer.

Lost PIN or Recovery Seed

If you lose your PIN but still have the recovery seed, you can restore your wallet on a new device. If both are lost, the funds cannot be recovered.
