Step-by-step guide to set up your Trezor hardware wallet safely.

Quick start

Follow these steps to initialise your device, create a recovery seed and connect to the official suite.

1

Unbox & inspect

Open the box and check the tamper-evident seal. If the packaging looks tampered with, stop and contact support.

2

Connect to your computer

Use the supplied USB cable to connect the device. Do not use third-party cables of unknown origin.

3

Install Trezor Suite

Visit the official app to download the desktop or web version. Always verify the domain and checksum if provided.

4

Create a new wallet

Follow the on-screen prompts. Write your recovery seed on paper — never store it digitally or photograph it.

5

Verify & backup

Confirm your seed on the device and keep multiple backups in secure locations (fireproof safe, safe deposit box).


Security tips

  • Always download official software from the official domain.
  • Never reveal your recovery seed to anyone, or enter it into a computer/phone.
  • Enable a PIN on the device and use passphrase protection if you understand its trade-offs.
