Step-by-Step: From Unboxing to Control

1. Download Trezor Suite

Head to Trezor.io/start and choose your platform—Windows, macOS, Linux, or the web app. Click “Download” (or “Continue in browser”) to begin.

2. Install the Application

Run the installer and follow the prompts. No tech jargon, just clear instructions on screen.

3. Connect Your Device

Plug in your Trezor with the provided USB cable. The Suite verifies authenticity with a holographic seal check—your first layer of defense.

4. Update or Install Firmware

  • New device? You’ll be prompted to install the latest firmware.
  • Returning user? Suite checks if your firmware is up-to-date or needs reinstalling.
     This crucial step ensures your device is genuine and tamper-free.

5. Choose Setup Mode

You’ll see two options:

  • Create new wallet – Suitable for fresh setups.
  • Recover wallet – Use this if restoring with an existing recovery phrase.
     Select "Create new wallet" unless you already have a backup.

6. Generate and Record Recovery Seed

Your Trezor generates a 12, 18, or 24‑word recovery seed.

  • Write it down in the exact order—never store digitally.
  • The Suite walks you through verifying select words to ensure your backup is accurate.

7. Set a Secure PIN

You’ll be asked to enter a PIN using a dynamic on-screen keypad. This prevents keylogging—enter twice to confirm.
 From this moment, your device requires both physical presence and your PIN to operate.

8. Select Active Coins

Choose which cryptocurrencies to enable in the Suite—BTC, ETH, ADA, SOL, and many others. You can always add or hide coins later.

9. Enable Optional Passphrase Protection

For discretionary asset security, consider enabling a passphrase. It creates hidden wallets, invisible unless the passphrase is provided—adding a powerful layer of protection.

10. Access Trezor Suite

Click “Access Suite” to enter your dashboard. From here, you can send, receive, stake, swap, and manage portfolios—all within the secure Trezor environment.

🛡️ Best Practices & Tips

  • Never enter your recovery seed online. Your device will prompt you—only trust input when instructed directly on the Trezor device.
  • Store backups safely. Use printed or metal backups. Consider geographic separation—extra resilience for disasters.
  • Update firmware regularly. Always download firmware updates via Trezor Suite—not from random websites—to prevent compromise.
  • Use encrypted PIN passphrases. A passphrase boosts security—don’t forget to note it securely.
  • Explore Trezor Expert onboarding. Prefer live guidance? Book a one-on-one setup session for a professional walkthrough.
