What is Trezor Wallet?

Trezor is a hardware wallet—an offline device that generates and protects your private keys. It works with Trezor Suite (desktop or web) to help you manage coins, verify addresses on the device screen, and approve transactions securely. Unlike custodial platforms, you’re the one in control.

Self‑custody first: You hold the keys; no centralized logins or recovery by email.
On‑device confirmations: Addresses and amounts must match on the hardware screen.
Open‑source ethos: Auditable firmware and community‑reviewed code.

Setup in six clear steps

  1. 1) Go to the official page: Type trezor.io/start directly. Bookmark it to avoid impostors.
  2. 2) Connect & install: Plug in your device and install the official Suite (desktop) or follow the trusted web flow.
  3. 3) Initialize & update: Create a new wallet and apply firmware updates if prompted. Read each screen.
  4. 4) Record your recovery seed: Write each word in order, twice. Never photograph or store it online.
  5. 5) Set a strong PIN (and optional passphrase): Choose a long PIN; add a passphrase only if you fully understand it.
  6. 6) Verify your receive address: Generate an address and confirm it on the device before sharing.

Why a hardware wallet?

Hardware wallets keep private keys offline. Even if your computer has malware, the device screen shows the transaction you’re approving, which prevents silent address swaps and key theft. With self‑custody, there’s no counterparty risk from exchanges or custodians.

Defense‑in‑depth: PIN lock, optional passphrase, and firmware checks work together.
Transparent design: Open‑source implementation allows independent review.
Portable & durable: Compact form factor; pair with a metal backup for the seed.

FAQ

Is there an email/password account for Trezor Wallet?

No. You access your wallet by connecting the hardware device and unlocking with a PIN (and optional passphrase). Your keys never leave the device.

How do I know I’m on the legitimate site?

Type the URL manually, check the certificate, and verify digital signatures for installers where available. If anything feels off, stop.

What happens if I forget my PIN?

You must reset the device and restore from your recovery seed. No one can recover the PIN for you.

Can I use a passphrase?

Yes, but use it only if you understand that a different passphrase creates a different wallet. Losing the passphrase loses access to that wallet.
