Always begin by visiting trezor.io/start. Avoid using search engine ads or unverified links to prevent phishing risks and fake downloads.
Step 2: Download and Install Trezor Suite®
- Click “Download for Desktop” on the Trezor.io/start page.
- Select your operating system — Windows, macOS, or Linux.

Download Trezor Suite®Step 3: Connect and Initialize Your Device
After installing Trezor Suite®, connect your hardware wallet using the provided USB cable. The setup wizard will automatically detect your device and prompt you to:
- Choose between “Create New Wallet” or “Recover Wallet.”
- Install the latest firmware version (mandatory for first use).
- Confirm all actions on your device’s physical screen.
Step 4: Create and Store Your Recovery Seed
Your recovery seed (12, 18, or 24 words) is the backup key to your wallet. Write it down carefully on paper and store it offline in a safe place. Do not take photos or store it digitally.
- Never share your seed with anyone.
- Trezor Support will never ask for your recovery words.
- Consider using a fireproof seed backup for added protection.
Step 5: Set Up PIN and Security Features
- Create a strong PIN directly on your Trezor device screen.
- Optionally, enable a passphrase for advanced protection.
- Confirm all transactions on the hardware device itself, not just in the app.
All sensitive operations — such as signing transactions — are done within the Trezor hardware wallet to keep your private keys isolated from the internet.
Step 6: Manage Crypto with Trezor Suite®
Once your setup is complete, you can start managing your digital assets through Trezor Suite®.
- Send and receive cryptocurrencies securely.
- Check balances, transaction history, and portfolio overview.
- Buy, exchange, and stake supported coins via trusted integrations.
- Activate Tor mode for improved privacy and IP protection.
