Quick Start — 5 Simple Steps
Unbox and Verify
Always verify the Trezor packaging seals and check for tamper-evidence. Only download Trezor Suite from the official site or verified stores.
Install Trezor Suite
Install the latest Trezor Suite app on your desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) or use the secure web interface. Connect your device and follow on-screen prompts.
Create and Backup
Generate a new wallet and write down the recovery seed. Store the seed offline in a safe place — this is the only way to recover your coins if your device is lost.
Update Firmware
Keep your device firmware current. Trezor firmware updates include security improvements and new coin support. Update only via Trezor Suite.
Send & Receive
Use Trezor Suite to receive addresses and sign transactions securely on-device. Double-check addresses on the Trezor screen before approving.
Security Best Practices
- Never share your recovery seed. Treat it like the keys to a safe.
- Use a strong PIN on your device and enable passphrase protection for additional privacy.
- Only download software from official sources and verify digital signatures when available.
- Consider a metal backup for long-term seed storage to protect from fire, water, and decay.
