Welcome — quick start for your Trezor Hardware Wallet

This Trezor Hardware Wallet getting started guide helps new users securely set up a Trezor® device, complete the Trezor hardware wallet setup, and create a safe recovery plan. Whether you are new to crypto or upgrading to a dedicated hardware wallet, this Trezor Hardware Wallet getting started page gives clear steps, best practices, and troubleshooting tips.

Unbox & verify your Trezor

Inspect packaging and authenticity seal. Confirm serial number matches the Trezor Hardware Wallet label. Always buy Trezor from authorized channels to keep your Trezor device secure.

Connect & install Trezor Suite

Visit app.trezor.io in your browser or download Trezor Suite. Follow on-screen prompts to install firmware and complete the Trezor Hardware Wallet setup. Use the original USB cable and avoid unknown ports.

Create your recovery seed (backup)

Write down the recovery seed exactly as shown. This seed is the only backup for your Trezor Hardware Wallet. Store the seed offline in a secure location and never share it digitally.

Set a strong PIN and passphrase

Set a unique PIN on your Trezor device. For advanced protection, enable a passphrase — this adds an extra layer to your Trezor Hardware Wallet security model.

Receive funds & verify

Receive a small test transaction to verify addresses shown on your Trezor match the addresses in your Trezor Suite. Confirm on the device screen—never trust addresses displayed only on the computer.

Important: Your recovery seed is the master key to your funds. If someone obtains your seed, they can access your crypto even without your Trezor Hardware Wallet.
