Start Using Your Trezor® Device Safely and Securely

Whether you're setting up your Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T, this guide will walk you through the simple and secure steps to get started.

✅ Step 1: Go to Trezor.io/Start

This is the official starting point to set up your Trezor. Make sure you're using the correct URL to avoid phishing websites.

🛠️ Step 2: Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official desktop app used to manage your crypto securely.

• Download it from trezor.io/trezor-suite
• Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux
• Follow on-screen instructions to install

🔌 Step 3: Connect Your Trezor Device

• Plug your Trezor into your computer via USB.
• Open Trezor Suite — it will detect your device and prompt the next steps.

📥 Step 4: Install Firmware

If your Trezor is brand new, it won’t have firmware installed yet.

• Trezor Suite will ask to install the latest official firmware.
• Confirm the action on your device screen.

⚠️ Security tip: If your Trezor arrives with firmware already installed, do not use it — it may be compromised. Only install firmware through Trezor Suite.

🆔 Step 5: Create a New Wallet

• Once firmware is installed, you’ll be asked to create a new wallet.
• Choose "Create New Wallet" and follow the prompts.

📝 Step 6: Back Up Your Recovery Seed

Your recovery seed is a 12 or 24-word phrase that can recover your wallet if your device is lost or damaged.

• Write the words down on paper only — never store digitally.
• Store the paper securely in a fireproof and waterproof place.
• Trezor will show the seed only once — never share it.

🔒 Step 7: Set Up a PIN

• Choose a strong PIN to protect access to your Trezor.
• You’ll use this PIN each time you connect your device.

🧪 Optional: Enable Passphrase Protection

For advanced security, you can enable passphrase protection.

• This adds a custom word or phrase that acts as an additional layer of encryption.
• Without the exact phrase, even your recovery seed can’t restore the wallet.

🚀 You're Ready to Use Your Trezor!

Now that your Trezor is set up, you can:

• Send and receive crypto
• Manage assets across multiple blockchains
• Connect to decentralized apps (dApps) via third-party tools
