Step-by-Step Setup Guide
Follow these simple steps to set up your Trezor hardware wallet
Unbox & Connect Your Trezor
Open your Trezor package and inspect the holographic seal to ensure it hasn't been tampered with. Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the provided USB cable. The device should power on and display a welcome screen. Make sure you're using the official cable that came with your Trezor for security reasons.
Visit Trezor.io/Start
Open your web browser and navigate to Trezor.io/Start. This is the official Trezor setup portal where you'll download Trezor Suite, the application that manages your wallet. Always verify you're on the correct URL to avoid phishing sites. Bookmark Trezor.io/Start for future reference.
Install Trezor Suite
Download Trezor Suite from the official website. This software is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Once installed, open Trezor Suite and follow the on-screen prompts to install the latest firmware on your device. Firmware updates include security patches and new features, so it's important to keep your device updated.
Create Your Wallet & Backup Recovery Seed
Select "Create new wallet" in Trezor Suite. Your device will generate a unique 12 or 24-word recovery seed. Write these words down carefully on the recovery card provided. Never store your recovery seed digitally or take a photo of it. This seed is the only way to recover your funds if your device is lost or damaged.
Set Your PIN & Start Managing Crypto
Create a strong PIN code to protect your device from unauthorized physical access. Choose a PIN between 4-9 digits that you can remember but others can't guess. Once your PIN is set, you're ready to start using your Trezor! You can now receive cryptocurrency, check your balance, and make secure transactions through Trezor Suite.

Security Best Practices
Protect Your Recovery Seed
Your recovery seed is the master key to your crypto. Never type it into a computer, take a screenshot, or store it in the cloud. Write it down on paper and keep it in a safe place. If someone gets your recovery seed, they can steal all your funds.
Use a Strong PIN
Choose a PIN that's hard to guess but easy for you to remember. Avoid obvious patterns like "1234" or your birthday. Your PIN protects your device if someone gets physical access to it. You can change your PIN anytime through Trezor Suite.
Verify Firmware via Trezor.io/Start
Only download firmware updates from the official Trezor.io/Start portal or Trezor Suite. Fake firmware can steal your crypto. Always verify the website URL and never follow links from emails claiming to be from Trezor.
Beware of Phishing
Always type Trezor.io/Start directly into your browser. Scammers create fake websites that look like Trezor to steal your information. Trezor support will never ask for your recovery seed or PIN. If someone does, it's a scam.
