Alternative: Use Trezor Web Wallet

If you prefer not to install Trezor Suite, you can use the web wallet. Go to wallet.trezor.io and follow the prompts to access your Trezor wallet.

Step 3: Connect Your Trezor Device

Now it’s time to connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer via the provided USB cable.

1. Plug the Trezor device into a USB port.
2. Launch Trezor Suite (or visit the web wallet).
3. Your Trezor will prompt you to confirm the connection.

Device Initialization

The device will initialize automatically. Follow the on-screen instructions in Trezor Suite to begin setup.

Step 4: Create a New Wallet or Restore an Existing One

Create a New Wallet

If this is your first time setting up Trezor, you'll be asked to create a new wallet. During this process, your device will generate a recovery seed—a set of 12 to 24 words that allow you to recover your wallet in case of loss or damage.

Important: Write down the recovery seed and store it in a secure location. Do not share this with anyone.

Restore an Existing Wallet

If you already have a Trezor wallet and want to restore it, choose the option to restore from recovery seed. Enter the 12 to 24 words from your recovery seed card to recover your funds.

Step 5: Set Up a PIN Code

To enhance the security of your Trezor, you will be prompted to set a PIN. This PIN protects your device in case it's lost or stolen.

• Choose a strong PIN of 4-9 digits.
• You will need to enter this PIN every time you connect your Trezor device.

Step 6: Secure Your Recovery Seed

Your recovery seed is critical for securing your crypto assets. Write it down and store it in a safe place that only you can access. Never store it digitally (e.g., on your computer or cloud).

Backup Tips:

• Use a fireproof and waterproof safe.
• Consider using a metal backup device for extra durability.

Step 7: Add Your First Account

Once your Trezor is set up, you can create your first crypto account within Trezor Suite. Choose from a variety of supported cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many others.

1. Select Add Account within Trezor Suite.
2. Choose the cryptocurrency you wish to store.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete account creation.

Step 8: Start Managing Your Crypto

With your wallet ready, you can now send, receive, and manage your cryptocurrency securely.

• Send Funds: Use the “Send” option to transfer funds from your Trezor wallet.
• Receive Funds: Use the “Receive” option to generate a unique address for incoming transfers.
• Manage Accounts: You can add additional accounts or manage existing ones.

Step 9: Keep Your Trezor Secure

Your Trezor is designed to keep your funds secure, but you should take additional steps to protect your device and data.

Keep Software Up to Date

Always ensure your Trezor Suite is updated to the latest version. You’ll be notified when updates are available.

Store Your Recovery Seed Safely

Your recovery seed is the only way to restore your wallet if the device is lost or damaged. Treat it with the utmost care.

Enable Passphrase (Optional)

For extra security, you can enable a passphrase on your Trezor device. This adds an extra layer of protection in case someone gains access to your recovery seed.

Step 10: Explore Advanced Features

Trezor also offers advanced features, such as:

• Multiple account management: Create separate accounts for different cryptocurrencies.
• Third-party app integration: Use your Trezor with decentralized apps (dApps) or exchanges.
• Custom recovery seed: Create an extra backup for enhanced security.

Congratulations! You're now ready to enjoy the full benefits of your Trezor hardware wallet. Stay safe, secure your assets, and manage your crypto with peace of mind.
