A LITTLE PREP GOES A LONG WAY
Before you plug in.
Set yourself up for a smooth, unhurried first start. You only need a few simple things; your recovery phrase should never be one of them.
A trusted computer
Use a computer you control with a current browser and operating system. Connect your device directly with a compatible cable, rather than an unknown accessory.
A private moment
Choose a quiet place where you can read prompts carefully and keep your screen and notes away from other people, cameras, and cloud backups.
THE SETUP, IN FOUR SIMPLE MOVES
Start secure. Stay in control.
Follow the instructions displayed by Trezor Suite and on your device. The exact screens can vary by model and software version.
Go to the official start page
Type trezor.io/start directly into your browser, check the spelling and domain, then select your device model. Avoid sponsored search results, unsolicited links, and lookalike websites.
Connect and follow the prompts
Use the official instructions to install or open Trezor Suite, connect your device, and install firmware if prompted. Confirm actions on the device itself; never approve a prompt you did not initiate.
Create a new wallet on your device
Choose the option to create a wallet if this is your first setup. Your device will guide you through backing up a recovery seed. Read each prompt on the device screen and write the words down offline exactly as instructed.
Verify, then add a PIN
Complete the device's recovery-check process and set a PIN if your model offers one. Store your written backup somewhere private and durable, separate from your device, and confirm that you can access it safely.
THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF SETUP
Your recovery seed is yours alone.
Your recovery seed is the master backup for your wallet. Anyone who gets those words may be able to access your funds. Keep them offline and private: never photograph, email, message, upload, or type them into a website, app, computer, or phone. Genuine Trezor support will never ask you to reveal your seed. If a screen or person asks for it, stop immediately and verify the instructions through official Trezor support.

A FEW THINGS WORTH KNOWING
Questions before you begin?
Keep the official support channel close if your device or prompts look different.
Go to Trezor supportShould I enter my recovery seed on a website?
No. Never enter your recovery words into a website, computer, mobile app, or message. Only follow the recovery process shown directly on your Trezor device when you intentionally restore a wallet.
What if my device asks me to do something unexpected?
Pause. Do not approve unfamiliar actions or follow instructions from unsolicited messages. Close suspicious pages and check the current guidance at trezor.io/start or trezor.io/support.
