1. Setting Up Your Device

When you first unbox your Trezor device, ensure all security seals are intact. Visit Trezor.io/start directly in your browser — never trust search engine links. The official site will guide you to download the Trezor Suite app, compatible with all major systems.

After installing the Suite, connect your device using the included USB cable. Follow the on-screen prompts to initialize your wallet. You’ll create a new wallet or recover an existing one. The process ensures no one else can access your private keys — they remain inside your device at all times.

2. Backup & Recovery — Your Digital Shield

During setup, your device generates a recovery seed — 12, 18, or 24 words unique to you. This is your only backup. Write it down on paper and keep it offline. Never take a picture or store it on a computer. This seed allows you to recover your wallet if your device is lost or damaged.

Trezor’s design ensures no part of your recovery phrase ever touches the internet, keeping you immune to remote theft.

3. Managing Assets with Confidence

Once setup is complete, use the Trezor Suite to send, receive, and exchange cryptocurrencies. Every transaction must be confirmed on your hardware device — giving you total control.

Explore advanced features like password managers, passphrases, and hidden wallets. Trezor devices integrate seamlessly with major blockchains, ensuring privacy and full autonomy over your funds.

If you ever need help, access verified support at trezor.io/support. Avoid unofficial channels or social media links.
