  1. Install or Update Firmware

If your device is new, it may need a firmware installation or update. Follow the prompts to ensure you are using the latest, most secure version. Do not disconnect your device during this step.

  1. Create a New Wallet

Once the firmware is installed, choose “Create new wallet.” Your Trezor will generate a unique 12- or 24-word recovery seed. This seed is your lifeline—it allows you to recover your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.

Security tip: Write the seed down on paper and keep it offline. Never store it digitally or share it with anyone.

  1. Set a PIN

For added physical security, set a PIN code on your device. This ensures that even if someone gains access to your Trezor, they can’t access your crypto without your PIN.

  1. Add Cryptocurrency Accounts

Trezor supports 1,000+ coins and tokens including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and many ERC-20 tokens.
