A calm, straightforward guide to getting your Trezor ready. Set up carefully, take your time, and keep your recovery backup private.
A quick security check
Only download Trezor Suite from trezor.io/trezor-suite. Never type your recovery words into a website, chat, or email—not even if someone claims to be support.
SET UP AT YOUR OWN PACE
Your device guides you through the important moments. Keep it connected, follow its on-screen prompts, and use the official Trezor app for setup.
Unbox your Trezor and connect it directly to your computer or phone using a compatible cable. Check that the packaging and device look as expected. If anything seems tampered with, pause and contact official support through Trezor’s website.
Use a trusted device and connection.Open trezor.io/trezor-suite by typing the address yourself. Download the official app for your operating system, then launch it and connect your device. Never install software from ads, direct messages, or links sent by strangers.
Check the address before you download.In the app, choose the setup option shown for your device. Install firmware only when the official app prompts you, and confirm important actions on the hardware wallet itself. Create a new wallet or recover one only by following the device’s official instructions.
Confirm sensitive actions on-device.YOUR MOST IMPORTANT BACKUP
Your device may display a recovery seed or another backup method during setup. This backup can restore access if your device is lost or damaged, so write it down exactly as instructed and store it offline somewhere private and secure. Follow the method and order shown by your device; never photograph or save the words in a notes app, cloud drive, or password manager.
Trezor support will never need these words. Anyone who gets them may be able to take your funds. Do not share them with a person, website, form, or software prompt. If you are unsure about a request, stop and navigate to the official Trezor website yourself.

Good security is mostly a few careful habits. Keep these close as you get started and whenever you use your wallet.
Use trezor.io/start and the official Trezor site. Be wary of search ads, look-alike domains, and unsolicited messages.
Never enter recovery words on a computer or phone. The legitimate setup flow does not require you to send them to a website or support agent.
Read what appears on your hardware wallet before approving. If anything is unexpected, reject it and check the official help center.

No. Never share the words or backup details with anyone. No support agent, company, or legitimate website needs you to reveal them.
