Setting Up Your Trezor® Wallet – A Beginner's Guide 🧑‍🏫

Just got your Trezor® device? Congrats! 🎉 You’re now holding one of the most secure tools in crypto. But now what?

Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you set up safely, quickly, and correctly. 🔑

📦 What’s in the Box?

• 1 Trezor® device (Model One or Model T)
• USB cable
• Recovery seed cards
• User instructions

🧭 Step-by-Step Setup (10 Minutes)

1. Visit the Official Site

Go to Trezor.io/Start®
Never use third-party links — scammers love fake sites. ⚠️

2. Install Trezor Suite

Download and install Trezor Suite, your all-in-one dashboard for managing assets. 💻

3. Connect Your Device

Plug in your Trezor using the USB cable. It will prompt you to install firmware if it’s new.

4. Create Your Wallet

Choose to generate a new wallet and follow the instructions.

5. Back Up Your Recovery Seed

This step is crucial. Your Trezor will generate a 12- or 24-word recovery seed. Write it down on the provided card and store it offline — NEVER take a screenshot or upload it to the cloud. 📝❌

6. Set a Strong PIN

This is your first layer of protection. Use at least 6 digits, and avoid easy combos like 123456.

🔄 Optional: Add a Passphrase

For extra security, you can enable an advanced feature called a passphrase. This creates a second, hidden wallet that only you can access.

🎯 Ready to Go!

Now you’re ready to:

• Send/receive crypto
• Connect to Web3 dApps via MetaMask
• Track your portfolio

Welcome to secure, self-custodied crypto. 🫡
