A concise, practical walk-through to get your Trezor hardware wallet set up safely. Follow the official steps and verify software before you begin.
Open the package and inspect for tamper-evidence. If anything looks suspicious, stop and contact official support. Keep your device, the USB cable, and any included materials nearby.
Go to the official start page to download Trezor Suite. Always verify the download using the instructions on the official site before running the installer.
For the best experience use the desktop Trezor Suite. You can also use the web app if required — but only from the official domain.
When you first connect the device, Trezor Suite may prompt you to install the latest firmware. This is normal — install firmware only from the official app prompts.
Follow on-screen steps to set a PIN and create a wallet. Choose a strong PIN you will remember; do not store it online.
Write your recovery words on the provided backup card (or other recommended method). Treat this backup as the master key to your funds — keep it offline and secure.
Always confirm transaction details on the Trezor screen (not only on your computer) before approving a send.
Only download Trezor Suite from the official site and follow the official verification guides to confirm the installer’s integrity.
When transferring assets from exchanges or other wallets, send a small test amount first to confirm everything is configured properly.
Periodically check for firmware and Trezor Suite updates. Update promptly when notified — updates can include security improvements.
