A Trezor® hardware wallet provides a secure way to store cryptocurrencies offline, preventing unauthorized access and cyber threats. This guide walks you through the complete setup, ensuring your digital assets are safe.
Unlike online wallets, Trezor® gives you full control over your crypto funds, ensuring only you can authorize transactions.
Verify that the packaging is intact and check the holographic seal. Ensure the serial number matches the box to avoid tampered devices.
Connect your Trezor® to a computer via USB. Download the official Trezor Bridge software to facilitate communication.
Protect your wallet with a strong PIN. Each device session will require this PIN to access funds.
The device generates a 24-word recovery seed. Store it offline in a secure location. It is essential for recovering your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.
Confirm the seed by entering the words in the correct order to verify your backup is accurate.
Generate wallet addresses to receive funds. Always verify the address on the device screen to prevent malware attacks.
Transactions must be confirmed on the device, ensuring security against unauthorized transfers.
Add an optional passphrase for extra security. Remember, losing it can lead to permanent loss of access.
Supports multi-signature wallets for enhanced security, ideal for managing large cryptocurrency holdings.
