Purpose: A short, clear presentation to walk you through setting up a Trezor hardware wallet, installing Trezor Suite, updating firmware, and applying security best practices.
A Trezor is a hardware wallet that stores your private keys offline — protecting crypto assets from malware, phishing and remote attackers. Use it with the Trezor Suite app to manage transactions, firmware, and settings from your computer or browser.
Official start pages and the Suite app provide the validated workflow for initial device setup, firmware installation and backup generation. Stick to official pages and avoid third-party walkthroughs during setup.
Never copy your recovery seed to a cloud note, phone camera, or an online store — keep it offline and safe.
Download the desktop app or open the official web app. The Suite guides you through every step and offers the safest experience for firmware and initial wallet creation.
When the device displays the recovery seed words, write them down in order. Verify the backup process as instructed. This is the only way to restore funds if your device is lost or damaged.
Choose a strong PIN on the device — this prevents unauthorized local use even if someone gets physical access to your Trezor.
Check and apply firmware updates via Trezor Suite whenever prompted. Firmware updates fix bugs and improve security — they should be applied from the official Suite or start page only.
Phishing sites, fake apps, supply-chain attacks and social engineering. Confirm URLs and downloads match official sources before proceeding.
If anything looks off (tampered packaging, inconsistent instructions, or failure to install firmware), stop and contact official support immediately. Keep serial numbers and order information available.
