Begin Setup

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

1

Unbox Your Trezor

Remove your Trezor device and USB cable. Verify the tamper-evident seal is intact. Never buy from unofficial sellers.

2

Download Trezor Suite

Visit trezor.io/start and download the official Trezor Suite app for Windows, macOS, Linux, or use the web version.

3

Connect Your Device

Plug your Trezor into your computer using the included USB cable. The device will power on automatically.

4

Install Firmware

Trezor Suite will prompt you to install the latest firmware. Always confirm the fingerprint matches the official version.

5

Create New Wallet

Choose "Create new wallet". Your Trezor will generate a unique 12 or 24-word recovery seed. Write it down on the included card.

6

Verify & Secure

Confirm your seed phrase on the device. Set a strong PIN. Enable passphrase for extra protection (optional).

Congratulations! Your Trezor is now ready. You control your private keys – not a bank, not an exchange, just you.

Critical Safety Tips

Never enter your recovery seed online – not on any website, app, or email. Trezor will never ask for it after setup.

Store your seed offline – use the backup card or metal backup solutions. Never take photos or store digitally.

Verify every transaction on your Trezor screen. Hackers can't steal funds without physical confirmation.

Only download from trezor.io – avoid fake apps on app stores or third-party sites.
