What is a Trezor Hardware Wallet?
The Trezor Hardware Wallet is a purpose-built device that stores private keys offline (cold storage), removing them from internet-exposed devices to drastically reduce the risk of theft.
Setup & First Steps
Visit the official Trezor setup at trezor.io/start, follow firmware installation, create a PIN, and write down the recovery seed phrase exactly as shown. Never store the seed digitally.
Security Best Practices
Always verify firmware authenticity, use a strong PIN, enable passphrase support if needed, and keep the recovery seed in a secure offline location. Consider split backups for extra resilience.
Using Trezor with Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite (desktop app) is the official companion for managing accounts. Every transaction must be confirmed on-device, ensuring that unsigned transactions cannot be altered by a compromised host.
Use your recovery seed on a new Trezor device or compatible wallet. Your seed is the master backup — keep it secure and offline.
Yes. Trezor supports mobile connections via compatible apps and WebUSB/WebAuthn integrations. Always confirm addresses on the device screen.
Physical security of the written seed phrase is critical. Consider secure storage (safe deposit, encrypted split backups) and use tamper-evident methods to detect unauthorized access.
