Step‑by‑Step Setup Guide

Connect Device

Step 1: Connect & Visit Trezor.start

Plug your Trezor into your computer with the included USB cable. Then navigate to trezor.io/start to begin the official setup workflow.

Install Firmware

Step 2: Install Firmware

The first time you use your device, you’ll be prompted to install the latest firmware. Confirm fingerprints and ensure authenticity. Always use the firmware provided from Trezor official sources.

Create Wallet or Recover

Step 3: Create New Wallet / Recover

After firmware installation, choose to Create a new wallet or Recover wallet. If recovering, enter your 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed exactly as before.

Set PIN & Backup

Step 4: Set PIN & Backup Seed

Set a secure PIN using the on-device matrix and backup your recovery seed (write it down offline). Never share it or store it digitally. Confirm seed phrases when requested.

Activate Coins & Access

Step 5: Activate Coins & Access

Choose which cryptocurrencies you want active in your wallet (e.g. Bitcoin, Ethereum). Then click “Access Suite” or your connected application to start managing your assets.

Best Practices & Tips

Keep Offline

Tip: Always Keep Seed Offline

Your recovery seed should never touch an internet-connected device. Store it securely in a safe, fireproof box, or use metal backup solutions.

Use Passphrase

Tip: Use Optional Passphrase

Enable an extra passphrase (25th word) for added security. It acts as a hidden wallet inside your Trezor—nobody knows which passphrase you used.

Update Firmware

Tip: Keep Firmware Up to Date

Periodically check for firmware updates via the official Trezor site. Updates often include security enhancements and support for new currencies.

Official Tools Only

Tip: Always Use Official Tools

Only use Trezor Suite or the official web tools. Avoid third-party tools unless explicitly supported by Trezor to maintain security.

You're Ready to Go!

Congratulations—after completing these steps, your Trezor device is securely initialized. You can now send, receive, and manage your crypto with confidence. Return anytime to trezor.io/start for setup refresh or recovery.
