Prepare before you begin
Find a computer or mobile device you trust and a cable compatible with your Trezor. Check that your device and packaging appear untampered. Open a fresh browser window and type trezor.io/start yourself. Be cautious with search ads, messages, and links from strangers; look closely at the address bar to confirm you are on the official Trezor domain.
02⌘
Connect and follow setup
Connect your device and use the prompts at Trezor Start to install or open Trezor Suite, the official app for managing your wallet. Follow the instructions shown in the app and on your device screen. Read each prompt, verify actions on the device itself, and install firmware only through the official setup flow. Never approve a transaction you did not initiate or understand.
03✳
Create a private backup
Your recovery backup is the key to restoring access if your device is lost or damaged. Write the words down exactly as your device displays them, then store the backup somewhere private and physically secure. Do not photograph it, save it in a file, share it with anyone, or enter it into a website, computer, or phone. Trezor Support will never ask you to reveal your recovery words.
