A clear, secure path to protecting your crypto — follow these verified steps and you'll be ready in about 15 minutes.
Security tip: only use the official start page (the one shipped with the device) and Trezor Suite. If packaging looks tampered, contact support before proceeding.
Open your browser and go to the official Trézor start page (the address printed with your device packaging). Follow the on-screen onboarding steps — this portal guides you toward the recommended software and checks device authenticity.
This official onboarding sequence is the safest first step for every Trezor model.Download and open Trezor Suite (desktop or web app). The Suite is the secure companion for firmware installs, account management, and transactions.
When connecting a brand-new device you’ll typically see a prompt to install the latest firmware. Install it — firmware ensures the device runs the most secure code.
Follow the Suite prompts to initialize as a new device. You will create a PIN — pick a PIN you can remember but that is tough to guess.
The device will display a recovery backup (sometimes called a recovery seed). Write this down on the printed backup card immediately — store it offline and secure. Never take a photo or store it digitally.
Do not share your recovery words. Anyone with them can access your funds.
Your Trezor will ask you to confirm a few prompts on its screen — this verifies the device is genuine and that you control the hardware.
After successful authentication, Trezor Suite will present a confirmation screen indicating the device is ready to use.
Once set up, use Trezor Suite or supported wallets to receive and send crypto. For safety, transfer a small test amount first to confirm everything works as expected.
