01BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Good security
starts before setup.

Start from a source you trust, make a little time, and keep your recovery backup private. The whole process takes about 15 minutes.

Your Trezor + USB cable

Use the cable that came in the box. Connect directly to your computer or compatible phone.

01

Backup cards + pen

Have the included cards ready to write your recovery words by hand. Keep them private.

02

A trusted computer

Download Trezor Suite only by typing trezor.io/start into your browser.

03

Why start with Suite Desktop? The desktop app is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, with features such as Tor connections and custom backend support. It is the recommended place to initialize and manage your device.

THE ONE RULE THAT MATTERS MOST

Your recovery words
belong to you alone.

Anyone with your wallet backup can access your crypto. Keep it offline and private—never enter the words into a website, app, chat, or support conversation. If a screen asks you to type them into your computer, stop and verify you're using the genuine Trezor flow.

More help at Trezor Support
Is this the official Trezor setup page?+

This is an independent getting-started guide, not the official Trezor site. For the authentic setup flow and software, type trezor.io/start directly into your browser and verify the address before downloading.

What is the difference between Trezor.io/start and Trezor Suite?+

Trezor.io/start is the setup portal that guides you to the right resources. Trezor Suite is the application used to set up and manage your device and accounts.

Do I really need to write down my recovery words?+

Yes. Your wallet backup is what can restore access if your device is lost or damaged. Write the words in order, store them offline, and never share or digitize them.

Can I use a Trezor without Trezor Suite?+

Some third-party wallets, including MetaMask, Rabby, Electrum, and Exodus, support Trezor devices. Suite is the recommended starting point for setup and device management; check a wallet's official documentation before connecting it.

My computer doesn't recognize my device. What should I try?+

Reconnect the device, try another USB port, and use a data-capable cable. Check the official Trezor troubleshooting guidance at trezor.io/support for current connection instructions.

What if I lose my Trezor after setup?+

If you've safely stored your wallet backup, you can use it to recover access on a compatible replacement device. Only enter it during the genuine recovery process, and never into a website or support chat.

READY WHEN YOU ARE

Stay in control.
