Start with your new Trezor

Official setup guide: download Trezor Suite, initialize your device, secure your recovery, and start protecting crypto safely.

How the official Trezor start process works

Download Trezor Suite

Get the official Trezor Suite desktop application for the best experience. The Suite bundles firmware updates, wallet management, and secure firmware verification in one trusted app.

Install and open the app

Install the downloaded desktop app or opt to continue in the browser web app. The app guides you through firmware checks and device pairing.

Initialize your Trezor device

Follow on-screen prompts while your device is connected. Choose to create a new wallet or recover an existing one using a recovery seed phrase.

Transfer or receive assets

After setup, move a small test amount from an exchange to your Trezor. Confirm transactions using the physical device to keep private keys offline.

Security & best practices

Follow these official recommendations to protect your funds and recovery credentials:

  • Keep your recovery seed private. Never share the seed or enter it on a website or third-party software.
  • Verify firmware updates. Only install firmware updates you download through the official Trezor Suite and confirm update fingerprints on the device.
  • Use the device to confirm transactions. Always approve or reject operations directly on your Trezor device screen.
Important: Trezor staff will never ask for your recovery seed. If anyone requests it, treat that as a phishing attempt and contact support immediately.

Quick setup checklist

  1. Download official Trezor Suite from trezor.io/start and install on desktop.
  2. Connect your Trezor device and verify its authenticity when prompted.
  3. Create a new wallet or recover using your recovery seed.
  4. Set a strong device PIN and store your seed offline.
  5. Transfer a small test amount to confirm everything works before moving larger sums.
