Welcome to Trezor.io/start, your comprehensive guide to setting up and using your Trezor hardware wallet. Trezor is the world's first and most secure hardware wallet, designed to protect your cryptocurrencies from hackers and thieves.
The process begins by connecting your Trezor device to your computer or mobile device. You'll then be guided through the setup process, which includes creating a new wallet, generating your recovery seed, and setting a PIN code. This entire process takes about 15 minutes but provides security that lasts a lifetime.
Your recovery seed is the most important piece of information when using a Trezor. This 12 to 24-word phrase is your backup in case your device is lost, stolen, or damaged. Never share your recovery seed with anyone and store it in a secure location offline.
Once your device is set up, you can use Trezor Suite to send and receive cryptocurrencies, check your balances, and manage your portfolio. Trezor supports over 1,000 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and all ERC-20 tokens.
For advanced users, Trezor offers features like Shamir Backup, which splits your recovery seed into multiple shares for added security, and passphrase protection, which adds an extra word to your recovery seed for creating hidden wallets.
Regular firmware updates ensure that your Trezor device remains secure against emerging threats. These updates are easy to install through Trezor Suite and typically take just a few minutes to complete.
If you ever need help, Trezor offers extensive support documentation and a responsive customer support team. The Trezor community is also active on social media and forums, where you can find answers to common questions and connect with other users.
