THE ESSENTIALS
Your Trezor setup,
step by step.
Take your time with each step. Your Trezor screen and Suite app will guide you as you go.
Install Trezor Suite
Open the official Trezor Suite app from Trezor’s website. Suite helps you initialize your device, manage accounts, and review transactions.
Install device firmware
If prompted, install the latest firmware through Suite. Keep your device connected and follow the instructions shown on its screen.
Create a new wallet
Choose to create a wallet on your device. Confirm actions on the physical device itself, and never enter your recovery seed into a website or computer.
Write down your recovery seed
Record each recovery word in the exact order on the supplied backup material. Store it offline, privately, and separately from your device.
Set a PIN and get started
Choose a PIN that is hard to guess, then verify your backup as prompted. Your wallet is ready to receive crypto when Suite shows your account.
SECURITY, BUILT AROUND YOU
Your recovery seed is
the key to your wallet.
It can restore access if your device is lost or damaged. Treat it like the most important key you own.
Keep it offline
Write it on paper or a durable backup. Never save it in a photo, cloud drive, email, or password manager.
Keep it private
Trezor Support will never ask for your recovery seed. Anyone who gets it may be able to access your funds.
Keep it safe
Store your backup somewhere secure and protected from loss, damage, and unauthorized access.
Never type your recovery seed into a website, computer, or phone. Only enter it directly on your Trezor device when the device itself instructs you to.
