Start with your Trezor

Simple, secure onboarding for your Trezor hardware wallet. Follow the official steps to download Trezor Suite, install firmware, create a wallet and back up your recovery seed.

Quick setup — in about 15 minutes

Getting started with Trezor is designed to be fast and secure. For the best experience, download the Trezor Suite desktop app or use the web app and follow the guided flow. The full initialization typically takes around fifteen minutes from start to finish. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Step-by-step setup

  1. Unbox & connect: Use the provided USB cable to connect your Trezor device (Model One, Model T, Safe series) to your computer. The device screen will show instructions to visit trezor.io/start.
  2. Download Trezor Suite: Choose the desktop app for the most feature-rich experience, or click “Continue in browser” to use the web app. Trezor Suite is the official app for managing, buying, sending and receiving crypto. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
  3. Install firmware: New devices ship without firmware — the setup flow will prompt you to install the latest firmware. This is a necessary step and is handled inside Trezor Suite. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
  4. Authenticate your device: The Suite will validate your device is genuine. Always follow the device prompts and do not proceed if the device shows signs of tampering. Device authentication ensures your private keys stay safe. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
  5. Create wallet & backup: Create a new wallet on the device, then write down your recovery seed exactly as shown (24 words for many models). Store this recovery seed offline and in multiple secure locations. The recovery seed is the only way to restore access to your funds if the device is lost or damaged. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
  6. Set a PIN & optional passphrase: Protect the device with a strong PIN and consider enabling a passphrase (advanced hidden wallet) for additional privacy and security.
  7. Activate coins & manage: After setup you can add accounts, enable tokens, receive and send crypto, and access buy/sell/exchange features inside Trezor Suite.

If anything looks off during setup — unusual prompts, damaged packaging, or unexpected firmware messages — stop and contact official support. Never share your recovery seed with anyone.
