GOES A LONG WAY.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Ready to take the keys?

Your Trezor is designed to put you in control. This independent guide explains the setup basics, then points you to Trezor’s official setup page for device-specific instructions.

THE THREE-STEP START

From unboxed
to set up.

Keep it simple: use official resources, verify on your device, and protect your recovery backup. Here’s the shape of a secure start.

01

Get the official Suite

Start at Trezor’s official setup page and follow its download link for Trezor Suite. Check the URL before installing anything.

Open official setup
02

Connect and verify

Connect your device and follow the on-screen prompts. Confirm the actions shown on your Trezor itself—not just on your computer.

03

Back up carefully

Write your recovery seed on paper and store it offline. Never type it into a website, share it in a message, or take a screenshot.

Never share your recovery seed. Trezor support will never ask you to enter or send it. Keep it private and offline.
