Getting Started with Your Trezor Hardware Wallet
Your journey into secure self-custody begins at Trezor.io/start. This official portal directs you to the necessary software—the **Trezor Suite**—which is the modern command center for managing your assets. Forget the older, browser-based **Trezor Wallet Login**; the dedicated **Trezor Suite App** is the key to maximizing your security and control.
I. The Core: Trezor Suite Download
Trezor Suite App
Trezor Suite is the official, full-featured software for your Trezor. It handles coin management, transactions, trading, staking, and privacy tools like Tor integration. It replaces the original, less-secure **Trezor Wallet** interface.
Trezor Suite Download
Always download the software directly from suite.trezor.io, accessible via the **Trezor.io/start** page. For maximum security, the desktop version is highly recommended over the web version.
Trezor Bridge
The **Trezor Bridge** is a background utility that allows your computer to communicate with the physical Trezor device. If you install the desktop **Trezor Suite**, the Bridge is automatically bundled and installed. A separate **Trezor Bridge Download** is usually not needed.
II. Step-by-Step Trezor Hardware Wallet Setup
Security Check & Trezor Suite Access
Before plugging in your **Trezor Hardware Wallet**, inspect the packaging for any signs of tampering. Once confirmed safe, open the **Trezor Suite App** and connect your device to begin the process guided by the application.
Firmware and Wallet Creation
The Suite will first guide you to install the official Trezor firmware. After installation, select "Create New Wallet." This process generates your secret private keys which never leave the device. This is the only official path to your **Trezor Wallet**.
The Recovery Seed Backup (Critical)
Your Trezor device will display your 12 to 24-word recovery seed. You **MUST** write this down physically on the provided card and store it securely offline. **This is your wallet, not the device.** Never photograph, screenshot, or enter this seed into any computer. This is how you restore your entire **Trezor Wallet** if the hardware is lost or damaged.
Set Your PIN (Trezor Login Protection)
Next, set a strong PIN directly on your **Trezor Hardware Wallet** screen (or follow the screen matrix for Trezor Model One). This PIN is your physical **Trezor Login** protection, required every time you connect the device to access your funds via **Trezor Suite**.
Complete Setup and Access Suite
Once the setup is complete, you can click "Access Suite." You will need to enter your PIN (the **Trezor Login** step) on the device itself to unlock your accounts. You are now ready to send, receive, and manage your cryptocurrency with industry-leading security.
