Quick Start Steps

  1. Buy Trezor only from the official site or authorized reseller.
  2. Verify packaging integrity; check for tampering.
  3. Go to trezor.io/start and select your device model.
  4. Initialize the device and generate a recovery seed; write it down physically.
  5. Install Trezor Suite or compatible wallet.
  6. Update device firmware as prompted.
  7. Perform a small test transaction to confirm everything works.

Security Best Practices

  • Never share your recovery seed; Trezor will never ask for it online.
  • Only download software from trezor.io.
  • Verify addresses and transaction details on-device.
  • Keep firmware up-to-date and use a strong PIN.

FAQs

Can Trezor be hacked remotely?

No. Private keys never leave the device. Only physical access plus PIN (and optional passphrase) can authorize transactions.

What if I lose my device?

Restore wallets on a new Trezor using your recovery seed. Without the seed, funds are irrecoverable.

Does Trezor collect personal data?

No personal data or private keys are collected. Review Trezor's privacy policy on trezor.io.
