A hardware wallet gives you a more hands-on way to protect your crypto. This straightforward guide helps you get started, from unboxing to your first secure setup.
Take your time with each step. Your device will guide you through the important choices, and you’re always in control of what happens next.
Type trezor.io/start directly into your browser, or use the official button above. Check the address carefully before downloading anything. Choose Trezor Suite for your computer or mobile device only from Trezor’s official website or verified app store listing.
Connect your Trezor using the supplied cable and follow the on-screen instructions in Trezor Suite. Install or update the device firmware when prompted. Set up a new wallet on the device itself; the exact screens and options can vary by model, so follow the prompts displayed on your Trezor.
Your device will show recovery words if you create a new wallet. Write them down in the order shown and store them somewhere private, offline, and protected from damage. Never photograph, email, type, or share them. Anyone with your recovery words can take control of your wallet.
Recovery words are the master backup to your wallet. A legitimate setup flow will not ask you to enter them into a website, chat, email, or computer keyboard. Enter them only on your Trezor device when its own trusted process specifically requires it.
Slow is smooth. If something feels unexpected, pause and verify before continuing.
Buy from Trezor or an authorized reseller, check your package for signs of tampering, and complete the authenticity checks shown by official Trezor Suite. If anything seems altered or unexpected, do not use the device; contact Trezor through its official support site.
Choose the recovery option only if you understand the process and have your existing backup. Enter recovery words on the device itself, following its trusted on-device flow—never into a computer or website. If you are unsure, stop and consult Trezor’s official guidance.
Use the help center linked from trezor.io and verify the domain yourself. Be wary of unsolicited messages, search ads, and anyone asking for remote access, a PIN, or recovery words. Official support will never need your secret backup.
