THE SETUP GUIDE
A secure start,
in three steps.
Keep your device close and take your time. Follow the instructions shown on the device and in the official Trezor Suite app.
02
Install Trezor Suite
Download Trezor Suite only from Trezor’s official website, or use the web app linked from the official start page. Check the address carefully before downloading. Suite guides you through installing current device firmware and creating or recovering a wallet.
Follow the prompts on your own device03
Back up your wallet
Your device will show a recovery seed during wallet creation. Write it down exactly as displayed and store it offline somewhere private. Never photograph it, save it in a file, or type it into a computer, phone, website, or chat.
Your recovery seed is the master backupYOUR MOST IMPORTANT BACKUP
Keep your recovery seed
offline and private.
Your recovery seed gives access to your wallet if your device is lost or damaged. Trezor Support will never ask you to share it. Anyone who sees the words may be able to take your assets, so treat the backup like the keys to your home.
Write it on the supplied backup card
Store it somewhere private and secure
Enter words only on your Trezor device
Ignore unsolicited “support” messages
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Good to know
before you plug in.
Your Trezor is designed so sensitive actions stay under your control. Confirm important details on the device screen itself, not just on your computer.
Take your time
Read each prompt on the device. If anything looks unexpected, stop and check the official Trezor help center before proceeding.
Choose a private workspace
Set up your wallet somewhere you can write down and secure your backup without anyone seeing it.
Bookmark the real address
Use trezor.io/start and links from trezor.io. Be cautious of sponsored results, look-alike domains, and unsolicited messages.
Do I need to create an account to use Trezor?+
A Trezor wallet is self-custodial. Follow the setup flow in Trezor Suite to create or recover a wallet, and keep your recovery seed private. Never share it with anyone.
What if my device is not recognized?+
Try a different USB port and a data-capable cable, then reopen the official Trezor Suite app. Visit Trezor Support from trezor.io if the issue continues.
Where should I enter my recovery seed?+
Enter recovery words only on your Trezor device when the device itself asks you to. Do not type them into your browser, Suite, a support form, or a message.
HERE WHEN YOU NEED US
Need a hand?
For device-specific troubleshooting, visit the official Trezor Support site. Always navigate there from trezor.io and never share your recovery seed with support.
