Step-by-Step Setup Process

  1. Go to Trezor.io/start
     Open a secure browser and go directly to the URL. Do not click links from email, social media, or third-party ads.
  2. Choose Your Trezor Model
     Select the device you are using—Trezor Model T or Trezor One—to access instructions tailored to your hardware.
  3. Download Trezor Suite
     You will be prompted to download Trezor Suite, the official application used to manage your crypto wallet. It’s available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
  4. Connect Your Device
     Plug in your Trezor using the provided USB cable. The Trezor Suite will detect the device and guide you through the setup.
  5. Install Firmware
     If the device is brand new, it may not have firmware installed. Trezor Suite will download and install the latest firmware automatically.
  6. Create a New Wallet
     Once the device is ready, choose “Create new wallet.” The device will then generate your 12- to 24-word recovery seed.
  7. Write Down the Recovery Seed
     Carefully write down the recovery seed on the card provided in the box. Never take a photo or save it digitally. This seed is your only backup.
  8. Confirm Recovery Seed
     The device will ask you to confirm the seed by entering selected words. This confirms that you wrote it down correctly.
  9. Set Your PIN
     Create a strong, memorable PIN using the device interface. This PIN is required to access your wallet each time.
  10. Start Using Trezor Suite
     After completing setup, you can access the Trezor Suite dashboard, add accounts for various coins, and begin sending or receiving crypto.

Key Security Guidelines

  • Only use Trezor.io/start to begin setup. Avoid unofficial sites.
