Step-by-Step Setup Guide

Step 1: Visit Trezor.io/start

Open your browser and go to https://trezor.io/start. Select your Trezor model (One or T) to begin the guided onboarding process.

Step 2: Download Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official app for managing your wallet. It’s available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Download it only from the official website to avoid malware. After downloading, install and open the application.

Step 3: Connect Your Device

Plug in your Trezor device using the provided USB cable. If it’s brand new, the Suite will guide you through firmware installation and wallet initialization.

Step 4: Install Firmware

For security reasons, Trezor devices ship without pre-installed firmware. Once connected, you'll be prompted to install the latest firmware. Confirm this on the device to proceed.

Step 5: Create or Recover Wallet

Choose to create a new wallet or recover one from an existing recovery seed. Follow on-screen prompts carefully. Your recovery seed is your only backup — write it down and store it securely offline.

Step 6: Set a PIN

Your device will ask you to set a PIN. This is your first line of defense if someone gains physical access to your device. Choose a unique and non-obvious PIN.

Step 7: Enable Advanced Features (Optional)

Once set up, you can enable additional features like passphrase encryption, hidden wallets, labeling, and Tor connectivity inside Trezor Suite.

Security Best Practices

• Never share your recovery seed with anyone
• Always verify addresses on the Trezor screen
• Avoid installing third-party firmware unless you know what you're doing
• Regularly update Trezor Suite and firmware
• Enable passphrase for added protection

Troubleshooting Tips

If your device is not recognized or firmware won’t install:

• Try another USB cable or port
• Ensure Trezor Bridge is installed (required for web access)
• Restart your computer and reconnect the device
• Reach out to Trezor Support for help
