THE SETUP
Six steps to get
started with confidence.
Move at your own pace. Your device will guide you through each part of the process.
Get the official app
Navigate to trezor.io using a bookmark or by typing the address yourself. Download Trezor Suite only from the official website or your device’s verified app store.
Connect and update
Connect your device and follow the instructions shown in Trezor Suite and on the device screen. Install firmware only when the device prompts you to.
Create your wallet
Choose to create a new wallet on the device. Confirm important actions on the hardware wallet itself, not just on your computer screen.
Back up your recovery seed
Write the recovery words on paper and keep them offline in a private, secure place. Verify the backup on the device when prompted.
Set a PIN and get started
Choose a PIN that is hard to guess. Once setup is complete, verify a small test transaction before moving larger amounts.
KEEP IT YOURS
Three rules worth
remembering.
Good security is built on small, repeatable habits. Keep these close whenever you use your wallet.
Never share your seed
Your recovery seed restores access to your wallet. Anyone who gets it may be able to take your funds. No support team will ever ask you for it.
Check the address
When sending crypto, compare the full receiving address on your hardware wallet screen with the address you intended to use.
Pause before you approve
Read transaction details on the device. If something looks unexpected, cancel and double-check through a trusted source.
YOU'RE READY TO BEGIN
Take your time. You're in control.
