1. Verify Your Trezor Device
Before beginning, confirm that your Trezor device is genuine. Check that the security seals on the packaging are intact and match the official Trezor standards. If the box appears tampered with, contact Trezor Support immediately and do not connect the device.
2. Visit Trezor.io/Start
Go to Trezor.io/Start using a trusted browser. This is the official portal to download and install Trezor Suite — your control hub for managing crypto safely. Never download software from unofficial links or third-party sites.
3. Install Trezor Suite
Choose the correct version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). Once installed, launch Trezor Suite. It provides a secure environment to manage your crypto, install firmware, and verify transactions — all while your private keys stay safely inside your device.
4. Create or Restore Your Wallet
If you’re new to Trezor, select “Create New Wallet.” The device will generate a unique recovery phrase of 12, 18, or 24 words. Write it down and store it offline in a secure place. If restoring, carefully re-enter your recovery phrase — never share or type it online.
5. Secure and Explore
Set a strong PIN to protect access to your wallet. Once your setup is complete, you can view balances, send or receive assets, and explore the crypto ecosystem directly through Trezor Suite. Always verify transaction details on the device screen before confirming.
Security & Best Practices
- Only use official links like trezor.io.
- Keep your recovery seed private and offline.
- Never share your recovery phrase or PIN.
- Regularly check for firmware updates through Trezor Suite.
- Use hardware backups or metal seed plates for extra protection.
