1. Why Start with Trezor? (h2)
Trust through design (h3)
Trezor devices are dedicated hardware wallets that isolate your private keys from networked computers. The result: strong protection against malware, phishing, and remote attacks. This section explains the core value proposition in plain language and practical terms.
Core benefits (h4)
- Air-gapped key storage — your keys never leave the device.
- Open-source firmware and audited code for transparency.
- Simple recovery flow using a seed phrase — tested and portable.
Quick tip (h5)
Register the device with a strong physical passphrase and store your recovery seed offline — never photograph or upload it.
2. Getting Started — First Steps (h2)
Unbox and inspect (h3)
Before connecting, inspect the tamper-evident packaging. Only proceed if packaging is intact. Power the device following the official start guide to ensure authenticity and correct setup.
Setup checklist (h4)
- Download the official start guide and use the official Trezor setup pages only.
- Set a PIN on first boot — prevents unauthorized local access.
- Write down your 12/24-word recovery seed on paper and store it securely.
3. Using Trezor Safely (h2)
Best practices (h3)
Keep firmware up to date via official channels, confirm every transaction on the device screen, and use Trezor Suite or supported wallets for everyday usage.
Security hygiene (h4)
- Never share your recovery seed.
- Validate addresses on the device screen before approving.
- Use a hardware PIN + optional passphrase for layered protection.
4. Recovery & Support (h2)
Recovering your wallet (h3)
If your device is lost or damaged, a legitimate recovery seed restores access. Follow the official recovery flow in a secure environment — avoid public networks for recovery when possible.
Need help? (h4)
Consult official documentation or support channels if you encounter issues — never follow advice from unverified social posts that ask for seed words or private keys.
