Get started with Trezor — set up in minutes, protect for years

Follow a secure, step-by-step setup for your Trezor hardware wallet. Learn best practices for backups, firmware verification, and integrating with wallets you already use.

Recommended: Use a clean, offline environment for initial setup. Keep your recovery seed offline.

Offline-first security

Private keys never leave the device. Sign transactions locally, prevent remote exposure.

Open & auditable

Transparent firmware and community-reviewed codebase for trust and verifiability.

  3. Enable passphrase (optional advanced)
  4. Keep backups secure & geographically distributed

FAQ

Can I recover my seed on another device?

Yes — with compatible hardware wallets that support the same seed standard. Ensure the recovery environment is secure.

What happens if I lose my device?

Recover using your recovery seed on a new device. If you lose the seed too, funds cannot be recovered — treat the seed like cash.

Is my passphrase stored on the device?

No — passphrase is an optional additional secret you enter during use and is not stored on the device by default.
