So, you've just received your brand-new Trezór hardware wallet—congratulations! This guide will walk you through the initial steps to set up your device, secure your funds, and start managing your cryptocurrency with confidence and safety.

When prompted, create a secure PIN code on your Trezor device. This PIN prevents unauthorized physical access to your wallet. Choose a random and hard-to-guess number, not your birthday or phone number.
Your Trezor device will generate a 24-word recovery seed. This is your wallet backup. Write it down on the recovery card and store it offline in a secure place. Do not take a photo or save it on your computer.
If your device is ever lost or damaged, the recovery seed will restore your funds.
🚫 Never share your recovery seed. Anyone with access to it can steal your funds.
Once setup is complete, you can create accounts for different cryptocurrencies such as:
Each account is isolated, letting you manage your portfolio securely and flexibly.
To receive crypto, go to the account and click “Receive” to generate your wallet address. Share this with the sender.
To send crypto, click “Send,” enter the recipient’s address and amount, then confirm the transaction on your Trezor device. Transactions are signed securely without exposing private keys.
