Overview
In an age when digital assets matter as much as physical ones, protecting private keys should be straightforward, reliable, and under your control. Trezor hardware wallets provide a dedicated offline device that isolates your cryptographic secrets from the internet, preventing common attack vectors like malware, phishing, and remote compromise. The official Start page and guided resources walk new users through secure setup, firmware checks, and best practices so the protective value of the device is realized from minute one.
Getting started
Unbox your Trezor and go to the official start page to initialize the device with a seed phrase that is generated and confirmed offline. Follow the step-by-step flow to set a PIN, create and verify your recovery seed, and confirm device authenticity. Use the official Trezor Suite app or the Start flow in a browser as instructed by Trezor to avoid untrusted third-party software.
Maintain security
Keep firmware up to date using the official updater in Trezor Suite — updates frequently patch vulnerabilities and add improvements. Prefer official documentation for guidance on passphrases, backups, and firmware changelogs. Only use official software and purchase devices from authorized channels.
Best practices
- Buy only from the official store or authorized reseller.
- Set a strong device PIN and never share it.
- Write your recovery seed on durable, offline media; never store it digitally.
- Verify firmware updates via Trezor Suite and the official firmware changelog.
- Consult official guides and support pages for advanced features and troubleshooting.
