Connecting Your Trezor

  1. Connect to Your Computer: Use the provided USB cable to connect your Trezor device to your computer.

  2. Visit Trezor.io/start: Open your web browser and go to trezor.io/start. This page will guide you through the initial setup process.

Initial Device Setup

  2. Backup Your Recovery Seed: During the setup, your Trezor will generate a 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed. Write down these words in the exact order on the provided recovery seed card. This seed is crucial for recovering your wallet if your device is lost or damaged. Store it in a safe place and never share it with anyone.

  2. Confirm Your PIN: Re-enter the PIN to confirm it. Make sure it is something memorable but not easily guessable.

Security Tips
