Getting Started with Your Trezor
Trezor provides a secure and user-friendly way to safeguard your cryptocurrency. This guide helps you set up your device correctly, connect with Trezor Suite, and secure your recovery seed — ensuring full control of your funds.
Step 1 — Connect and Verify
Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the original USB cable. Visit trezor.io/start and select your model. The official site will detect your device and begin setup verification automatically.
Step 2 — Install Trezor Suite
Download and install Trezor Suite, the official app for managing your wallet. It allows you to check balances, send and receive crypto, and install firmware updates — all with hardware-level security.
Step 3 — Secure Your Recovery Seed
During setup, your Trezor device will show a unique recovery phrase of 12 or 24 words. Write it down on paper and store it offline. Never photograph or store it digitally — it’s the only backup to restore your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.
Step 4 — Verify and Update
Confirm that your device firmware is official and up to date. Regular firmware updates enhance security and add new coin support. Always verify your device’s authenticity using Trezor Suite’s built-in security checks.
Step 5 — Start Managing Your Assets
Once your setup is complete, you can add cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others. Manage, send, and receive your assets with total confidence, knowing your keys never leave your device.
