Install the desktop app on your computer. This step isn't necessary for web app users. The installation process is straightforward and includes all necessary drivers for device communication.
Plug in your device and follow the steps to set up your wallet. You'll create a PIN, generate your recovery seed, and configure basic security settings to protect your digital assets.
You're ready to protect your crypto securely. Check our guide to learn how to transfer your assets from an exchange or another wallet to your Trezor hardware wallet.
Understanding these security features is crucial for protecting your digital assets
Your private keys never leave the device. The Trezor hardware wallet keeps your keys isolated from internet-connected devices, protecting against malware and phishing attacks.
Randomized PIN entry on the device prevents keyloggers from capturing your credentials. The PIN matrix changes with each login attempt for maximum security.
Your 12 or 24-word recovery seed is your ultimate backup. Store it securely offline, never digitally. This seed can restore your entire wallet if your device is lost or damaged.
Always verify firmware signatures before updating. Trezor's bootloader ensures only authentic firmware runs on your device, protecting against tampering and supply chain attacks.
Hardware wallets represent the gold standard in cryptocurrency security. Unlike software wallets that store private keys on internet-connected devices, hardware wallets keep your keys completely isolated in a secure environment. This fundamental design principle protects your assets from the vast majority of online threats, including malware, keyloggers, and phishing attacks.
When you initiate a transaction, your hardware wallet signs it internally using your private key, which never leaves the device. The signed transaction is then transmitted to the blockchain network. This means that even if your computer is compromised, attackers cannot access your private keys or authorize transactions without physical access to your device and your PIN.
The recovery seed is your ultimate failsafe. Generated during initial setup, this 12 or 24-word phrase is a human-readable backup of your private keys. If your device is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can restore complete access to your funds on a replacement device. The seed follows the BIP39 standard, ensuring compatibility across different wallet manufacturers.
Proper seed storage is critical. Never photograph it, store it in cloud services, or share it electronically. Physical storage in a secure location—such as a safe or safety deposit box—is essential. Some users create multiple copies stored in different locations, or use more advanced solutions like metal backup plates that protect against fire and water damage.
PIN protection adds another layer of security. Your Trezor uses a randomized number grid displayed on the device screen, preventing keyloggers from capturing your PIN. After multiple incorrect attempts, the device implements increasing time delays, making brute force attacks impractical. For maximum security, combine your PIN with a passphrase—an additional word you memorize that creates an entirely separate wallet.
Always verify addresses on your device screen before confirming transactions. This simple habit protects against man-in-the-middle attacks where malware modifies the destination address displayed on your computer. The address shown on your Trezor's screen is the true destination, and physical confirmation ensures your funds go exactly where you intend.
