Welcome to the official Trezor start page. If you’ve just received your new Trezor device, you’re only a few steps away from taking full control of your crypto safely. This guide will walk you through setup, backup, and daily usage using Trezor Suite.
Step 1: Connect Your Trezor
Use the USB cable provided with your Trezor to connect it to your computer. Your device screen will display a welcome message and guide you through the initial steps. Open Trezor Suite on your computer or visit the official setup page to begin configuration.
Step 2: Install Firmware
The first time you use your Trezor, it will prompt you to install the latest firmware. This ensures you’re running the most secure and up-to-date software version. Confirm the installation directly on your device screen.
Step 3: Create Your Wallet
Once the firmware is installed, create a new wallet. Set a strong PIN to prevent unauthorized access. Your device will then generate a recovery seed—a 12, 18, or 24-word backup phrase. Write these words on paper and store them in a secure, offline location.
Step 4: Open Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is your main control center. It lets you view balances, send and receive crypto, and manage accounts. The Suite is designed with a simple interface that keeps you in full control of your private keys at all times.
Step 5: Security Best Practices
- Never share your recovery seed or type it into any computer or website.
- Keep firmware updated through official Trezor sources.
- Enable a passphrase for an additional layer of security.
- Purchase devices only from official Trezor resellers.
Step 6: Troubleshooting
If your Trezor is not detected, try a different USB port or reinstall Trezor Bridge. Ensure your browser permissions are enabled for USB devices. For more help, visit the Trezor Support Center.
Step 7: Start Managing Crypto
Once setup is complete, you can buy, send, or swap cryptocurrencies directly in Trezor Suite. Your private keys never leave the device, guaranteeing unmatched protection from hacks and malware.
