Step-by-Step Setup Process

Follow these simple steps to get your Trezor device ready in minutes

01

Connect Your Trezor Device

Begin by connecting your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer using the provided USB cable. Ensure you're using the original cable to guarantee proper functionality and security.

Important: Only download Trezor Suite from the official Trezor.io/start website to avoid phishing attempts.

Once connected, your device will power on automatically. If this is your first time using the device, you'll see a welcome screen prompting you to begin the setup process.

02

Install Trezor Suite & Firmware

Visit Trezor.io/start and download Trezor Suite, the official desktop application for managing your cryptocurrency. The website will automatically detect your operating system and provide the correct version.

Security Note: Trezor Suite verifies the authenticity of your device and ensures you're using genuine Trezor hardware.

After installation, Trezor Suite will guide you through the firmware installation process. Firmware updates contain critical security improvements, so it's essential to keep your device updated.

03

Create Your Wallet & Backup

Your Trezor device will generate a unique recovery seed—a list of 12, 18, or 24 words that represents your private keys. This is the most critical step in securing your cryptocurrency.

Critical Security Step: Write down your recovery seed on the provided card and store it in a secure location. Never store it digitally or share it with anyone.

After confirming your recovery seed, set up a PIN code for your device. This PIN will be required every time you connect your Trezor to a computer, adding an extra layer of security.
