What is the Trezor® Hardware Wallet?

The Trezor® Hardware Wallet is a small, tamper-resistant device that stores cryptocurrency private keys offline. By keeping signing operations on the device, Trezor® reduces exposure to phishing, malware, and remote attacks that target hot wallets and exchanges.

Key features

  • Cold-storage private keys — never exposed to the internet.
  • Open-source firmware and client — community-audited for transparency.
  • Recovery seed (BIP39) — recover your wallet on compatible devices.
  • Compatibility with Trezor Suite desktop/web and many third-party wallets.

Getting started — quick setup

1. Visit the official guide at trezor.io/start for step-by-step setup. 2. Install Trezor Bridge if your OS/browser requires it — you can download from Trezor Bridge Download. 3. Open Trezor Suite (web or desktop) or download via the Trezor Suite Download page. 4. Follow the on-screen initialization, create a PIN, and write down your recovery seed.

Trezor Login & Wallet access

When you open Trezor Suite or connect to a supported web wallet, you'll authenticate operations using the physical device. This is commonly referenced as the Trezor Login or Trezor Wallet Login flow — the device must confirm transaction details and user approval before anything is signed.

Security best practices

  • Purchase only from official channels (trezor.io) to avoid tampered hardware.
  • Store recovery seeds offline (no photos or cloud backups).
  • Use a strong PIN and consider a passphrase (hidden wallet) for extra security.
  • Keep Trezor Suite and Bridge updated from official links.

Troubleshooting

If your device is not detected, check the USB cable (use a data-capable cable), reinstall Trezor Bridge from the official site, and try another USB port or computer. For step-by-step support, start at trezor.io/start.
