Follow these six simple steps to set up your Trezor hardware wallet and secure your digital assets
Carefully unbox your Trezor hardware wallet. Ensure the package is sealed and hasn't been tampered with. Inside, you'll find your Trezor device, USB cable, recovery seed cards, and user manual. Verify all components are present before proceeding.
Visit trezor.io/start and download the official Trezor Suite application for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). Trezor Suite is your gateway to managing your cryptocurrency securely. Always download from the official website to avoid phishing attempts.
Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the provided USB cable. The device will power on automatically. Follow the on-screen instructions in Trezor Suite to begin the initialization process. Make sure you're using the original cable for optimal security.
Your Trezor will generate a unique 12 or 24-word recovery seed. Write these words down on the provided recovery card in the exact order shown. Never take a photo or store it digitally. This seed is the only way to recover your funds if your device is lost or damaged.
Create a strong PIN code to protect your device from unauthorized access. The PIN is entered using a randomized keypad displayed on your computer screen, with numbers shown only on your Trezor device. This prevents keyloggers from capturing your PIN.
Complete the setup by verifying your recovery seed. Trezor Suite will ask you to confirm specific words from your seed to ensure you've written them down correctly. Once verified, your Trezor is ready to receive and send cryptocurrency securely.

Contact SupportAlways verify the source: Only download Trezor Suite from the official website at trezor.io/start. Beware of phishing websites and fake applications that may steal your funds.
Protect your recovery seed: Your 12 or 24-word recovery seed is the master key to your cryptocurrency. Never share it with anyone, never enter it on any website, and never take a digital photo of it. Store it offline in a secure location. Trezor support will never ask for your recovery seed.
Verify device authenticity: Ensure your Trezor device is purchased from trezor.io or authorized resellers. Check that the packaging is sealed and hasn't been tampered with. Never use a device that comes with a pre-generated recovery seed.
No password recovery: Trezor operates without requiring login credentials or passwords for basic operation. If you forget your PIN, you can restore access using your recovery seed. There is no "forgot password" option because Trezor doesn't store your information on any server.
Cryptocurrency investments carry risk. Only invest what you can afford to lose. Trezor provides security tools, but you are responsible for the safety of your recovery seed and the security of your funds. This guide is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
