Step 1 — Download & Verify Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web interface for your Trezor device. Always download it directly from the vendor’s verified domain. After downloading, verify the file integrity using SHA-256 or PGP signatures where available.

Step 2 — Initialize Your Trezor Device
1
Connect your device
Use the provided USB cable to connect your Trezor to your computer. Launch Trezor Suite to begin setup.
2
Create or restore wallet
Choose whether to generate a new wallet (recommended) or restore from an existing recovery seed. The device will display prompts step by step.
3
Backup recovery seed
Write down the 12/24-word seed securely on paper or metal. Never digitize or photograph it. This is your ultimate backup.
4
Set a PIN
Define a strong device PIN. This protects your Trezor from unauthorized access if lost or stolen.
5
Optional passphrase
Advanced users may enable BIP-39 passphrase for additional hidden wallets. Treat the passphrase as a separate high-value secret.
Step 3 — Security Principles
Your Trezor device is designed around a clear signing boundary: private keys remain in the device, never exposed to your computer. All transactions are built by Trezor Suite but must be verified and approved on the physical device screen. Always check recipient addresses and amounts before confirming.
Keep firmware updated via Trezor Suite.
Never share or type your recovery seed into any website or app.
Test backups by restoring on a spare device in a controlled environment.
Use multisig or passphrase for higher-value accounts.
