Welcome to Trezor! This guide will walk you through initializing your Trezor hardware wallet, setting up accounts, enabling security features, and starting your journey in cryptocurrency management safely and efficiently.

1. Getting Your Trezor Device

Purchase a Trezor device from the official website (https://trezor.io) or authorized resellers. Ensure authenticity and avoid third-party sources that may compromise security.

3. Connecting Your Device

Connect your Trezor via USB. The device will display instructions. Follow prompts to start initialization. Set your PIN securely to protect your wallet from unauthorized access.
