Overview
Welcome! This guide walks you through powering on, initializing, and securing your Trezor device using Trezor Suite (desktop or web). Follow the steps carefully — setup typically takes ~15 minutes.
Quick Start (4 steps)
- Download Trezor Suite: Prefer the desktop app for the best experience; web app is available too.
- Plug in & initialize: Follow on-screen and on-device prompts to create a new wallet and set a PIN.
- Write down your recovery seed: Store the 12–24 word seed offline and never share it.
- Update firmware: Accept firmware updates only through official Trezor Suite prompts.
If anything looks suspicious (unexpected screens, unknown firmware sources), disconnect and seek official support.
Security best practices
- Always obtain Trezor devices from official channels or trusted resellers.
- Never enter your recovery seed into a computer or phone; keep it offline and safe.
- Use a strong PIN and enable passphrase features only if you understand them.
- Verify firmware updates inside Trezor Suite and confirm device prompts physically.
Troubleshooting highlights
- Forgot PIN? Do NOT brute-force. Check official recovery procedures.
- Device not recognized? Try a different USB cable/port and the desktop Suite.
- Firmware failed? Follow the official recovery/update steps in the docs.
