What you’ll need

  • A genuine Trezor (Model T or Model One) and USB cable.

  • 10–15 minutes without distractions.

Step-by-step

1) Connect & navigate: Plug in your Trezor and go to trezor.io/start. Choose your model.
2) Install Trezor Suite: Download the official desktop app and open it. Avoid third-party downloads.
3) Verify device & firmware: Follow prompts to verify authenticity and update firmware safely.
4) Create your wallet: Set a unique PIN. Consider enabling a passphrase for advanced security.
5) Back up your seed: Carefully write each word in order. Store multiple offline copies—never take photos.
6) Add accounts & transact: Add Bitcoin / Ethereum accounts, confirm addresses on the device screen, then send/receive.

Security best practices

Protect the recovery seed

Your seed is the master key. Keep it offline, avoid cloud storage, and consider a fire-/water-resistant metal backup.

Verify on the device

Always confirm addresses and amounts on your Trezor’s screen, not just the computer display.

Use PIN & passphrase

Choose a strong PIN. A passphrase creates a hidden wallet—memorize it; it can’t be recovered if lost.

Keep software updated

Update Trezor Suite and firmware to benefit from the latest security improvements and coin support.
